good luck. I enjoy your journal

Nice catches.Those bobcats are beautiful.

Looking forward to following along this year!

Always a great ride along....

Love this thread. Good luck

I'm a little late with my update. Checked on Tuesday and had a couple grey fox. Still have a few spots that I need to get set on Saturday.

Caught in the first set we made this season.

Another catless trap check but the fox keep us busy. Got out some more sets on some sign, and 3 fox to take home. Even had a double. Sure is fun being out there with my boy. I can only put one on the ATV so they've been switching off each Saturday.


You can barely see the second fox. He wasn't very photogenic with both back feet caught

Wow both hind feet. I caught a red with both front feet twice but never both back ones.
Love the carry out pic with your son

I'm a few days late on my update, but here it is. Still pretty slow on the line. The last check I had one kit fox and one grey. The kit fox was a shock since I have never caught one this high up. Then after checking my last set, the display on my ATV started acting funny, then about 2 miles from my truck, the thing shut off and wouldn't start. The lights would still turn on, but nothing on the display would work, and the starter wouldn't engage. I tried pull starting it and it would turn over, but wouldn't start. I'm guessing it's something electrical. The guy I got it from put power stearing on it and seat warmers so my guess is something shorted out with his DIY wiring job.

My friends going out with me tomorrow with his RZR to pull my traps and tow my ATV. Then I'll be taking it to the Polaris Machanic so they can go over everything to make sure I don't have any other issues. I'll be out of town the week of Thanksgiving so I was planning on pulling my traps next week anyways. Hopefully they can get everything working right on the ATV so I can set after I get back.

Hope you get the bike fixed and get back out on the line.

Got the few sets we had out pulled. Still no spots in the traps, but we did have another grey/kit combo. My friend came out with his RZR to help pull traps, and tow my ATV. He brought 2 of his kids along and they had a blast. I'll tell you what, those RZRs sure are nice. I could only go about 10mph on these roads in my truck and about 20 on my ATV, but with the RZR we were easily hitting 35mph and could hardly feel the bumps. It wasn't much fun being towed behind that thing for 2 miles in the moon dust while retrieving thevATV but we were able to get it to the truck. I'll be taking it to the polaris mechanic next week and hopefully they can have everything sorted out and fixed by the time we get back from visiting my parents for Thanksgiving. We will at least be able to go after some muskrats and possibly coyotes while at my parents.

sux about the wheeler. stay in good graces with your Polaris mechanic . keep after em

Nice catches
