Funny thing is I only set this one trap yesterday , I was out just looking for sign when I stopped to check a spot I've caught a couple of cats a few years back . As I was walking through the snow I came upon a deer killer track. A little farther picked up another deer killer track . And then a little farther a bobcat track . All heading right by the tree I was going to set . ...figures ...I'm always a day late and a dollar short ....set the one trap and had to get home. Those two long tails must have been younger siblings maybe , hanging together . Not real big tracks. All three tracks were less than 24 hr old . Not sure who was following who but the bobcat must have circled back . Some serious luck right there folks
Today I came across another deer killer track about 3 miles away. A little bigger track this time . And then another track about 1/2 mile from there , and then a third track another mile from the second one . These three tracks could very well been made by one cat .....but bare minimum at least 3 cats in two days in one area ....maybe more
Alot of winter range road closures in this area . Severly hampering any effective predator control.
40 yr decline in mule deer population......hello odfw ...HELLO...it's NOT working
