Have you named that 'yote yet?

Good deal on the wildcats. Hopefully some money in 'em this year.

Are you trying for anything besides bobcats and coyotes? I hope you pile them up.

It looks very different there from here. We've had one of the longest lasting, deep snows in years. Tomorrow is supposed to be the first day above freezing in close to a month. The next 10 days is looking pretty good. I have a ton to get done before Spring.

Nice start Savell! Love that dry ground you got....yeah I know hard as a rock but it beats the frozen, snow country where you're cold and trying to beat a stake in.
Get 'em!

Short sleeves before 0800 means cottonmouths need to be watched out for in the beaver swamps.

Short sleeves by 0800 means driving stakes = dripping sweat. Takes the fun right out of dirt hole/flat set trapping.

Im gonna struggle with trapping until end of February. Wish it was back in the 20s for lows here.

Dang cats here have the craziest approaches.....from the back...sides, etc.

Catch em by back foot in a dirthole set that looks very similar to yours.

I thought those feathers were from the head of a mature bald eagle, but pic isn't clear enough to tell.

I like your sets Savell, lots of natural appearance blocking & subtle suggestions of foot placement...I can see you've been around the game awhile....Looks good.

Beautiful sets! And catches. Great work! Do you have a special bait that you use for the bobcat sets with feathers? Different bait for your coyotes sets? I'm still trying to learn the ropes!

… I just use a skunky call lure and a bobcat gland based lure for mixed predator sets

… for coyote specific I like high plains predator call and Jameson prairie king coyote gland lure

… right now I’m testing a members lure and it seems to be good stuff

Thank you for the prompt response! Follow up question… So do you throw the lures on a Q-tip or a stick and throw it down the bait hole? I instead of using a meat based bait? Or do you put the lure on the outside of the hole so the wind takes it? I never thought of not using meat based baits down a dirt hole. Sorry for all the questions… I really do appreciate learning from the pros.

I've never had the opportunity to trap cats, other than feral ones.
Your sets really look good , I take it the trap is where the smooth ground is.
Cats don't like stepping on pebbles , or cage wire.
I like the placement of the trap, shows you pay attention to when they missed in the past.
You might just make a good trapper yet.
LOL Had to put some caps in just for you.

… besides it’d be fairly monotonous… find sign … set trap … repeat

… problem I’m having right now is finding sign … guess I’ve killed em down too good over the years on this place but they usually fill in better

Come on now Savell, stopping that ball carrier on a sweep is tougher than slapping a few traps in the ground. Well now I think about it you were a bit younger back then..lol
My wrists and hands are the body parts that take the most beating at least for me. Hang tough...the weather will change and you'll be neck deep in critters.
Crappie killer...nice work....I see you have the rainbow colorations too....And as said already....keep on hammerin'

I came back from the dead for this? Ugly critters, whinny wimpy soap sud's sucking trapper, too cold, too wet, too dry, too hot, blah blah blah. Then another nut jumps in and says watch this and post even uglier looking mix breeded critters! Then we have the canne film festival group in here rating pictures and giving pointer's on photography.

I guess next the womin folk will get on offering skin care information so your hands don't get too dry playing in that sand bed a few hours a day before retreating back to your poor white trash bar stool to sip on some more suds and whine to passer's by about how tough your life is, lol.

Then another nut jumps in and says watch this and post even uglier looking mix breeded critters! Then we have the canne film festival group in here rating pictures and giving pointer's on photography.

I guess next the womin folk will get on offering skin care information so your hands don't get too dry playing in that sand bed a few hours a day before retreating back to your poor white trash bar stool to sip on some more suds and whine to passer's by about how tough your life is, lol.


It that's a subtle way to ask for skin care product recommendations, I can recommend coon, skunk, or bear lard. Keeps your hands from cracking, and makes the women appreciate back rubs more. grin

Take a dog with you. I used a feist and one beagle, who would run fox to find good places to set.

The older I get I find I'm pretty good out of the gate still but a little short on stamina some/most days... 71 ain't 31 anymore . I admire those that can still pound it in all day and then go home and skin until 9...

If the Spurs beat OKC or win a playoff game they all shoot thier pistolas up in the air which makes th chihuahua pee on the carpet and pop at least one eyeball out of it's socket.

Lefty, one time I was driving down Baja California and there was a Mexican police/immigration check point I was stopped at. Well these guys were going through my stuff with a fine tooth comb. Even squeezed out some of my toothpaste. About that time some mongrel campo dog, blind in one eye, thrice broken leg, showing all its ribs, one ear missing (you get the picture), came sniffing around. I asked them if that was their drug sniffing dog and figured that would get a hardy laugh.

I guessed wrong. LOL

I figured you would step your game up after my words of encouragement last night, finally got something worth taking a picture of.

My friday the 13th didn't go so well with the critter's. 1 less armadillo in the world though!

Savell, that's a $500 cat right there. Mark my words compadre. Don't let it go for less.

To be honest, I figured that a cat with a back that nice would have a belly that was mediocre at best.

Beautiful cat! I've got a similar one hanging in my office from years ago that was caught when trapping down there with you and Sheepdog. Still one of the most fun trapping trips I've ever taken, still laughing.

Wow you even got trapline royalty showing up to inspect your crap cats and low grade half dog half hyena coyote pictures!

Did your ride along bring an umbrella like mine did years ago? Course i was doing bmp trap testing so he wasn't a real ride along!

Well I ran into the Lone Star beer distributor and told him I trapped with you and he was very impressed so there.

ms. is having their sale i think next saturday savell, third weekend in Feb. Going to be another celebrity trapper at it, i might even venture over just to make fun of his shoe's if nothing else. Ugly cats bring 75.00 bucks gets my attention, hopefully that market isn't correct, lol.

The one you posted is the one I mentioned to post. If I thought I could get anything for them I’d start keeping them. All go in the dead pile for now. So do the buyers like to see a spotted back or belly or both?

Shark… that’s a good cat … it’ll bring 65 or more

…. My buyer didn’t look at anything…. Just buys rolled up frozen cats for 65

You’re socking them out and just rolling them up and in the freezer? This year is so jacked up ! I’m having a knee issue and works busy so not able to hit it hard like I usually do. I usually catch 5 or 6 just by accident. I might start keeping them if i can get at least that for them. Better than nothing I guess.

For taxidermy the back means alot more than the belly. Please tell me you get at least $150 for those spotted beauties for taxi Savell.

Now if you send something like that up to FHA it gets intersorted with 20-25 just like it and a furiers can make something with it. ($500 bucks, compadre) LOL

Yup....no one to impress anymore. I could put some steel
