Finally connected on the fresh scratch. The cat was very skinny and had worms in its very runny stool with lots of grass. The good news about that is the scratch had a very solid turd so that should mean there is another cat in the area. Definitely not a good belly at all, but you cant choose the belly on the cats you catch.

Another location had cat tracks in my boot track form my mid week check, but it went up a small finger ridge instead of following the wash to my set. We put a few more sets in the area so hopefully that doesn't happen again.

Just had a vasectomy on Monday and so I took Tuesday off. Ended up not being as bad as I thought so it gave me more time on Tuesday for my mid week trap check. Drove the quad down a very rocky road and up a rough wash to check out a good looking cat area. Didn't see enough sign to justify the long rough ride so I ended up not setting it. I then checked all my sets with nothing to show for it and still had some daylight so I checked another area. Found a few random cat turds which didn't have me excited, then found this cat track. I followed it a ways to confirm it was a cat, and that got me excited enough to put a couple sets in. On Saturday I'll get the area set better. With the quad working great, hopefully I can get some cats before I pull everything and move to a different range after New Years.
