Both Keith and I do not believe in loading a snare other than putting them in the box of the pickup .

As for his bobcat numbers in South Eastern Mt it was 245 bobcats in one season then 235 the following season , this was long before the bobcat season we have to deal with today here in Montana .
One can only wonder how many bobcats he would have harvested the third year because he was transfer to Roundup where he still lives to this day .

When I've got the time I normally will stop in for a visit , as for those bobcat numbers I maybe off by a few to high or low but you got the idea .

My catch numbers were never close to Keith's but I did catch 7 tom bobcats that weighted over 46 pounds over the years with a 5/64" ths 7x7 snare more normally with a wedge lock .
This was when it was a race to catch any bobcats before the quota was closed or about to close which was happening in less than 29 days which was something that Keith didn't have to deal with .
