Tom, thank you for offering to help. I’ll try to make it to the sale. Where is the sale at? We used to have one close by at McGee park but I don’t think they’ve had one for a few years.

The sale is at Mcintosh between Estancia and Moriarty we had to move it from Estancia. We usually have at lest two cat buyers, shelly has 5 confirmed so far.

I tried to get some permissions in NM when visiting family in west Texas, but no luck. It's really a darn shame they took away public land trapping. Am I the only person having so much trouble getting permissions? It seems that way sometimes. I wasn't able to trap for coyotes at all this season because I couldn't get any permissions (either in IL or NM). I knocked on doors (one farmer in IL wanted to take my head off when I asked), made phone calls, left messages. It's really demoralizing.

Good job, cool pictures

Another nice male today

The last ones I've caught are rubbed BAD. That one looks like a keeper!

I caught 4 more today Tom. Two were rubbed bad and two were still really good.

Coyote #18, bobcat #4

Nice pics!

Great pictures.

Nice, a couple good looking yotes there and any cat on any day is a good day!

Id planned to move to NM if i ever retired, such a pretty state and nice fur. Too bad the liberals ruined that state like they did California and seem to be a cancer spreading all across the western states.

Its a fight every year to keep our rights but I don't regret moving . Never thought about Elk or Cougars when I got here now I know what both taste like or trapping beaver till may 1. Trapping at 8000 feet plus and those cats that the furbuyers fight for!-----Those pictures say a lot if you're listening.

I agree with Tom 100%! New Mexico is a great place to live. It sucks that NM political agenda is mainly determined by voters in Albuquerque and Santa Fe, but fortunately I live in a very conservative part of the state, which I would say most of the state is, besides the bigger cities and a few other touristy/artsy parts of the state. Our big game hunting is as good or better than most western states, and you have that same odds every year to draw a tag, whereas most other western state big game tags have a points system. We have millions upon millions of acres of public land to hunt, hike, explore, etc., and honestly if you get to know some local ranchers it’s not to hard to find private land to trap. I have no plans to leave NM, I’ll just keep voting for what I believe in and fighting for the rights that we still have, and hope and pray that maybe someday things start to swing in our direction.

Terrific pics RF….
You are a credit to the trade.

Osky

Outstanding pictures

Thanks Osky! Definitely not on the same level as a lot of the guys on here but I think I do okay. I just set on sign and make sure my traps are bedded solid.

I’m an all or nothing kind of guy. If I’m gonna do something I’m gonna put 100% effort into it. It’s paid off this year, but I have to give a lot of credit to the dry ground conditions being great for keeping traps working.

Caught another nice male this evening, and following drag marks led me straight to an elk shed. I did set the shed there for the picture though lol.

So cool. Incredible photos to boot!

Crazy that coyote on a drag crawled in a grain elevator/compressor!!?

Love following the drag trail adds to the excitement, and watching a dog sort out things and find the prize!----nice pics!
