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

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.

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.

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 whistle

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

Looks like you and Donna are livin large, Mark. Looks like the Rays are still doing the job. Glad you guys are getting some time off and having fun, Hope to see you at the fur takers in June. It’s been awhile!

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!
