I try to redo a set in 1 minute. I make a set in 2 minutes. The line is 62.8 miles on the buggie at present. Ask anyone who has ever attended our Predator Trapping Academy.

Mark June Unregistered M	Solid productive day today after remaking and reluring all the sets yesterday. We had a coyote getting a bit too close to the shop area so..... we set on sign and job accomplished; The coyotes just keep trying to sniff turds I set close to where I find tracks. They shouldn't do that. Shortens their life span by about "1 Death Ray." I had a bobcat that crossed in front of the buggy about 2:30 yesterday afternoon. Today, I had him tethered about 9:30 I've now caught 154 coyotes and bobcats on this 12,800 acres ranch in the last 365 days. Blessings, Mark
