Get em Swamp !

sound like a good day

That is a very great day. Thanks

I think you miss-spoke. That does not look like a good day, That looks like a great day! Now go take some ibuprofen and get busy:)

Yep, I agree that is a good day.

Singed otter and green bellied bobcats due to too much sunlight and flat tires for goat's losing their horns, yes a wonderful day, lol.

Bumper crop of bobcats around here this year, see tracks and sign of them all over, even in town. 2 ran over in the road and i probably only seen 3 ran over in a road my whole life.

Should come down and ride along. Have traps on about 1000 acres...400 acres of my place and 700 acres of the neighbors......half dozen 330s in a spring fed creek and about 40 coyote-cat locations.

But, I think I've bounced the coyotes outta here. Have caught 3 past week and sign is non-existent now. Still a couple cats here and there. Neighbor asked if I'd catch some beavers outta a cottonmouth quagmire. Gonna set a few footholds tommorrow to make him happy. This neighbor is also my orthopedic doctor that has done surgery on my hands and my left knee....lol

Nice combo!

… do you believe that’s a thing Swamp …. Running the coyotes out by trappin a few ?

I seen it happen a few times over the years. They'll filter back onto the property after a few weeks.

Im the type trapper that sets a property very heavy.....most every logging road intersection gets a set or 2. Every food plot or other opening gets a set. In ag country...I set every point of woods that jut out into the field, every farm gate, roads between fields, etc.

I likely cause the problem, but its the way I've always set up properties. Most times it doesn't seen to happen. Other times...it'd very obvious it did.

Slim Pederson wrote about this in one of his books......he called the coyote's reaction "bouncing."

They shift to the another part of their home range to avoid the "commotion".

Also, I've never liked for caught coyotes to start barking when I walk up to them. Many times I've said.."HUSH"..YOU'RE GONNA TELL 'EM ALL YOUR STRESSING!

Nice

Need to trade ole Doc you’ll trade him some beaver work for some gobbler hunting lol

Yep.....already in the works if needed. For the most part, its the same flock..same gobblers thats on my place, but he has some very good access & habitat for killin' them gobblers.
