Michael,

Merry Christmas to you and yours sir. Donna is having a blast laying steel again and it's fun watching her get sets in fast, efficient, and deadly. I was actually laughing out loud a few times when I came up to peek at her set after I finished and A. She was about done B. Dang the set was top notch! She redid a couple yesterday I liked better than mine. I do drive the stake for her to save us time as this ranch has a layer of hard pan down 4 inches that is REAL!

Birdman - She is very competitive and we don't need to egg her on brother! grin We miss the fine folks in WI for sure.

Because of the Christmas Holiday time frame, the ranch we're on is hosting a bunch of folks, and we all knew the situation coming into this week. It be a bit frantic with folks hunting, riding the ranch, and having fun on their time off at their ranch.

We're just trapping a week (6 checks) on this 720 acre high fence and then we pull traps on Tuesday, celebrate Christmas with kids and grandkids, and then off Donna and I go to another ranch to set traps for a week on Thursday. This ranch I trapped last year, so I knew a bit about it, but the one of Thursday is a new predator contract for us. A week not quite time enough to hammer predators lock, stock and barrel, but we're doing real well.

A week here and there is all we could carve out this time of year for our ranchers - we're trying to help as many as we can as best we can.

Donna is doing fine on bobcats especially and this nice Tommy she caught on Blackie's Spotted Fury. Years ago, when Blackie was still alive, he gave her a bottle or two to try, and it works well for Donna and I see her putting in a little Spotted Fury from time to time when she wants to change up a bit. Good lure for sure on the bobcats and fox.

She found this nice little funnel point on an auxiliary road yesterday - we looked in "quiet" spots since the main roads were busy with people on 'em. First night kitty for Ms. Donna.

Hey Stumper, good to here from you and I will say hi to Doc. He's a great guy to work for and with! None finer and we're on a lot of places. They said they were pheasant hunting and saw our products at a store in SD. He keeps us laughing so hard, we're hardly able to function, but he's got a wonderful slice of Texas here and he's busy, busy improving this, that, and the other. He's especially got beautiful young Gemsbok on his ranch.

Merry Christmas!

Nice to see the lady's getting it done. My niece asked me to help her learn a little about trapping. She is really excited to learn and is willing to get dirty for it. This is her first catch ever. Been trying to get some fox but no luck on them yet. December 10th was our first day in the field.


Wish I had more time to trap....

I had to run the line by my lonesome today because Donna had to jet for home last night to get multiple dealer orders shipped today. She wants to nab another coyote real bad but it was only my turn today.

She'll resume trapping with me after Christmas up in the hill country of south central Texas on a new 1100 acre high fence ranch. Only a 7 day gig (all I can spare for this new place) so we'll get zipping and zagging and get traps out as best we can, as quick as we can. I download Google Earth to give me an advantage right from the start.

Stay tuned for more Texas fur from the Mrs. shortly.

Merry Christmas from the land of 74 degrees today.
30 at day break with 100% humidity and 74 at 5:00 pm with 22% humidity. Good old south Texas weather!

I had to run the line by my lonesome today, but fair is fair... Donna gets credit for catching this dandy bellied Tommie on a game trail bisecting the middle of the property. She just made the set a couple days ago and bingo... good location.
