big bobcat, ???

Yesterday was bittersweet on the line. With the upcoming rain we unhooked a good percentage of our traps. I only have 27 traps still in the ground. Once the rain is done, we will re-attach traps in the locations we are able to access. It was hard to pull so many great properties but it was the right thing to do.

While it was hard to pull traps, it was great to make target catches. I got another beautiful skunk, Joe got another coyote and we both got bobcats. It was just the boost we needed on an otherwise difficult day.

Nice catches.

Doing what's right is tough sometimes. Good luck when the weather turns in your favor.

Thata way guys! Nice work!

Great catches guys.

Beautiful spots on those cats

Well we checked our few remaining sets today. Didn't get stuck or slide off the road but the 3 mph roads still had me puckering!

We are hoping for some frozen mornings tonget things rolling again!

A buddy called me yesterday. Trapping a deer lease. Somehow managed to slide off in a pond overflow ditch. Rained all day. Hard. I got him pulled out with the winch. Luckily he did not damage his pickup but when pulling it out the driver side rear tire was at least two feet off the ground as it came up. Trying to get back up the hill was pretty iffy. Was worried might have to winch myself up it then pull him up.

wtg guys, hopefully you get some cold weather

Do you trap on public land or how do you go about getting permission

Those are some really tough conditions for sure. Thank you for taking the time to share your trials with us.

I remember those days and roads. You take a test run down that gumbo road and decide, nope, better back up, wait or go around the section or forget it.

Smart move.

That does stink. Mother Nature can be a real (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) to deal with at times. Unfortunately the weather forecast really doesn't look that favorable for you guys. Mild temps with very few hours below the freezing point over the next few days and this time of year things tend to dry out pretty slow. Hopefully you can get down some gravel roads and hike into some close spots to the road that are out of site of the ditch hunters.

I spent a lot of hours of my youth running those B level roads in Kansas. My butt was puckered up on many occasions.

Feeling kind of old now that I think back to how long ago it's been. Lol. 40+ years
