Caught another cat today I need to look for one on a drag that is hiding on me I had it pre hooked but it came undone, pretty quick from the looks of it. I had to pull out today before the dirt crossover gets to soft, I about did not make it as it was.

This cat I have on video up to just before it was caught then right after the catch was made, medium cat caught above the pad in a MJ I’m not able to post the videos so I took photos to post.

My hound would be off on the first rabbit if loose I might try a long leash it was just off a 2 track road the same place I caught this one, it could be a coon it warmed up last night. I go in again when the crossing freezes solid again if not it’s another 1/2 mile walk in.

The roads just to the left of frame.

I’ll walk the edge of the road I can’t see it going that far into the trees if the drag is working right. I’ll work my way down to a dead end food plot and circle the edge of that then work the creek back and go from there.

if its been in there that long it will be full of pee. dont forget your little vice grips to keep it from all leaking out before you get it peeled.

I got up at 4AM drove down and was able to cross the culvert to get back in there. Spotlighted the hillsides all along the roads and walked the creek nothing disturbed even, I did find a old shed.

Lighted up the trees just don’t see how a drag could get far in that bottom it’s so thick it was calm so you could hear any movements. It was a warn night my guess a coon pulled out right away. I’ll run the metal detector around the area the next time I go down that way.
