Darned Jim, that's better than nothing, but just barely, anymore shed antler's are a better bet than trapping, good time to get out in the great outdoors.hopfully it'll change someday but I wouldn't bet much on it. Anyway thanks for posting it's always nice to see you out there getting it done.

He wasn’t going to buy ANY coyotes. Kevin is a long time friend of mine and I think he figured since I’d already skinned them and brought them he would at least look at them. Took the four nicest ones for a buck each and not the other three. One was pretty course. One a little flat. Not sure on the third. I don’t think he bought any other coyotes this season.
The cat was a female and not a huge one by any stretch.
Badgers were all December caught and that is way too early here they aren’t nice until at least February here. The one he didn’t buy was pretty flat.
Possum skulls are worth $3 each and the big silvers green skinned are $0.50.
Possums beat the coyotes and I don't think I’d ever seen that before.

Coon were all a flat $3.50 and he didn’t buy two kits.

Well, it hasn’t been about the money for some time. Predator control, mostly.
That and I got to spend a lot of fun nights with my son running traps and walking fields with out headlights. That was fun.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

It might have been a female but it looked like a good belly for an eastern cat, and I would assume Nebraska it would have been prime with decent fur length and thickness, not like one of those southern cats with short, flat fur. Should have done a lot better, I would say at least three times that put up unless there was something I couldn't see in the pic.

She was a very pretty cat. Probably one of my top ten from from SE Nebraska for sure.
