The last couple coyotes I’ve caught have been pretty mouthy

Love to hear 'em sing!

Beautiful pictures!!!

Took my nephews with me this morning. Caught a coyote and a nice tom cat. I think that makes 20 coyotes, 6 bobcats, and 2 badgers. 1 more week til I’ll pull everything. I know there’s still another big bobcat I’m hoping I comnect with before I have to pull.

Great pics guy. I tag bobcats for the state of NM and am up in Flora Vista. PM when your ready to get them tagged.

Congrats

Nice bobcat

Sounds good Chad, will do. Thank you

Thank you Bruce!

How big is a typical ranch?
That doesn't look like very good cow ground, is that typical?

It varies quite a bit throughout the southwest but around here you can figure anywhere from 50 to 100 acres per head or cow/calf unit. Most ranches consist of some deeded/private land along with a blm,state, or national forest grazing allotment. The ranch I’m trapping is about 2000 acres private and another 10,000 or so acres of blm land, but I can only set traps on the private land. This rancher runs close to 100 head/cow calf pairs. It’s actually really good cow country especially on a year with above average rainfall. Very hardy high protein grasses such as western wheat grass, crested wheat grass, grama grass, needle and thread grass, and quite a few others. Cows also browse on four-wing salt brush, chico brush, red stem filaree, etc. It’s pretty common to wean 8 month old steer calves around 650 to 700 lbs.
