So I made the old dog a promise that I would bring him 1 more fox to sniff before the season ends. I've been planning this for a few weeks but the weather wouldn't cooperate and the ice and snow just hung on until the last 4 or 5 days. So this morning I took off across the field with a rather unconventional trapping rig. It's about a 1/2 mile from the shed to this first remake location. I was travelling lite so remakes where I had left earth anchors were the only set on the agenda. I planned on setting4 traps today and adding 2 tomorrow. Well I guess being down so long made me soft. Lol. My hands got cold before I was done with the first location. Getting old sux. Lol So I went to the house to warm up. Tomorrow another day. Hope you can hop along with me.

Lost that left leg at 6 months old in a go round with a large Rottweiler. He has spent the last 6 years sleeping in my Dad's lazyboy at my mothers house. She says it gives her comfort having him there. Who am I to argue with Mother. Lol

With a more conventional mode of transportation. Lol It was good to just be out and about. Last edited by wetdog; 02/15/22 05:11 PM.

Reminds me of the joke - put your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car and drive 5 miles. Then open the trunk and see which one is happy to see you. I’ve been sayin yes sir all day at work, I’ve been sayin yes ma’am at home…
