Nice !! Nice !!! Nice !!

It is.I lived there in Arizonia for 3 years as a kid.

Dan, Thanks for posting these great pictures. I was nearly as impressed with the fine animal and landscape pictures as I was with your beautiful family. Your grand daughter's a sweetheart. How many grandkids you got?

My son Nate has three daughters. June is the oldest. My daughter has no children yet - we're hoping still. Grandkids are awesome. Thanks for the complement.

Nice Pictures. Thanks for sharing.

I had a couple questions about my concrete "rock" drag. So here's what the bottoms look like. I quick-link my trap to them. They can be pre-baited by digging a hole and putting grain and bedding material (cotton, polyfill or wool) in the hole then putting the "rock" over the hole. Mice will soon find and occupy them. Or you can just smear bait or lure in the pocket and set the trap in front of the tunnel.

I had left this one beside a trail where I had last caught a coyote with it in a blind set.

To make the set that caught this cat,I attached my trap and turned the "rock"on edge and propped it against another rock (so it was more of a side blocker and not a comfortable place to step). I then made a heavily guided walkthru right on the trail with scent and polyfill on either side on little dead brush I moved in.

A couple more picks showing one of the red fox that didn't know the walkthru was a bobcat set:)

Dan, these are awesome pictures, thanks for sharing your season with us!

Good to see you out there doing your thing, Dan. First pic of the badger, I noticed a little “ring around the collar” on him! Nice job with a bunch of cats for a nice payday, and great pics of a trapping family! Take care my friend.

Pretty fox

Awesome stuff!!

To do a 2-3 week bcat line out in West River some winter is on my bucket list. Maybe the Jan of 2027

Do you all in Utah have to surrender your carcasses to the state guys? We have to here but I think a person can get them back if you request it.

No the carcass is yours, just have to come in and submit a tooth pull, same on lions, lions changed this year to just getting a permit and bring them in for an aging pull, depending on where you are at, no limits yet !

Bobcat tags seem to change every year in this state though, crazy as every one around us has no limits I'm aware of !

Great pics and beautiful cat country!! Thanks for sharing!

Yes sir. I love my Death Rays. Thankyou and be well my friend.

Way to go, good looking country you're in.
Thanks for sharing

I shot a mountain Lion a couple years back around Vernal and the scenery is beautiful. Dan you live in an awesome area

That would be awesome. Seems a little difficult to become a non res trapper.
What happens if you catch over your limit? You're using mostly legholds so you can release what you can't keep? Ever get cold enough to freeze a foot?

Furharvester education is required, then you just buy a nonresident license, and bobcat tags when they are open for sale in October. A frozen foot is possible depending on conditions. If we fill our last tag and catch another it must be released, regardless. So it's a mad scramble to pull traps at the end.

Great photos......even look national geographic quality on my cheap old phone...........but if your catch numbers aren't higher next season......say....more in line with my total catches for 2024.....1 barn racoon...1 groundhog @ driveway culvert.......and 2 rabbits chewing on my vehicle ......I know ....hard to believe record catches.........you might be jeopardizing your membership in this fourm...............with your family members demonstrative of what America should look like.....the generational family unit intact.....not the now popular dysfunction which is destroying America .........by the way....if you see Mitt.....tell him Hey and I voted for him back then in Ohio....

Nice animals
