Living the Vida Loca - the "crazy life" Getting a new ranch in south TX all set up. The Mrs. is along to trap alongside me on this ranch so even more fun in the sun! I hear the cell phone ring and then I hear Donna say, "Well, Mark is kinda busy right now." Ah yes, the two poop set with two lures working for the Mrs. We have a 70-80 lb mountain lion walking this road, but a coyote found the lion set first Always best to get their attention before slipping the Death Ray on 'em Non-target as a target Blessings!

I needed my .17 to be honest. Ol' porky pig charged me over and over trying to keep out of the line of fire. I don't think they make .22 rounds to shoot stuff anymore. Or my aim is teetering. Maybe both.

Oh my the third coyote above the pig is pretty ugly huh, do you get paid per animal, or a set price I have never charged by the animal in a full on predator control effort where I stay on property. A stiff daily fee separates the wheat from the chaff

The 3rd pic down, I believe you actually don't have a true coyote, but an actual red wolf hybrid. The head looks too wide for even a mature coyote IMO. I sent you a PM. Well, I missed its partner today who pooped about 40 yards downwind. I made a set for her so I hope to get close up pics soon. It looked like a coyote to me (#3) and was one heck of an athlete. He lost. Blessings, Mark

Fun pics! Great cats! Nice wheels! I got my wife a new decked out Honda Pioneer 1000.
Just the photo of your method of getting attention would work to prevent sleeping in church!
Stay well!
