… I’ll get to trapping probably around first of February when the wildcats start getting frisky .

… enjoy your posts from the brush country… keep it coming

You never know what you'll find in a deer stand in South Texas.

I went to check out an old tower blind only to find that it had been converted to a baby bobcat condo.

This little fella met me at the door.




His two siblings were in the opposite corner.




The next morning while sitting in a nearby popup blind I saw the three kittens venture out to do a little exploring.

Mom was quick to put them back in their playpen.




This is not something you see every day.

Cute little buggers!

Very cool find,a true cat house......

Something not many see in the wild

Hope you had a great Thanksgiving James

Cute little fellas

This Is Gumbo the Catahoula Leopard.

He is 65 pounds of Pure Testosterone.

When he goes on border patrol no coyote is safe from his nose.

He is directly responsible for the demise of coyotes in the hundreds.




It's time to "Load Up" !

Good looking dog James

Dad had one when I was a kid, smartest dog I have ever known

Atten-HUT! Good lookin parter.

Good looking dog. My lacy/catahoula cross earlier today after helping me dispatch a dozen coons.

How is that dog's hearing?

Our experience was most catahoulas that had a large amount of white on the head AND glass/blue eyes were mostly deaf

But out sample was only a few doz so it may have been isolated

Good looking dog too

Thanks, so far no loss of hearing that I can discern

Is that a Mahindra Roxor he is riding in?

Looks more like a CJ5 (maybe 7) to me

Good looking Cat / Lacy cross la4wd54.

It's a early 90's Jeep Wrangler BC2..

Gumbos main job is coyote recon. He is only interested in marking OVER another coyote.



No need to hike when the target is at ground level.

This small mound has produced a lot of coyotes.

G-Dog made a bee-line to this spot from a distance then marked it.




This is another coyote milling area. It was immediately marked over.

Coyotes answered with a black rose right where Gumbo is standing that same night.

This pila is a favorite waterhole for Wile E. and company.

A mark here will let a lot of coyotes know there is a new dog in town.

His presence on the line is a huge attractant in and of itself.
