Looks like calving and lambing season should go some smoother. The hens in the hen house will breath easier too !

Here is a picture from 1995,the same cabin,when it still had a roof.I was working a 6 day a week job.Not sure how I got it all done.There was a lot of beating around in the dark,I remember that.One night,I had a big,beautiful,male bobcat.I laid my flashlight in the grass,pointed toward him,so that I could focus my film,SLR,for a picture.Just then,he went airborn at my face.I leaned back and remember,vividly,he hit the end of the chain so hard,his body swapped ends(caught by a front foot)and his hind feet swept across,just in front of my eyes-close,like an inch or two!Fun stuff.  |

Those old buildings always make for a good season wrap-up picture.. nothin' like spending the winter months out of Hunting-Season runnin' snares and traps. I do the same; Predator control to ease up on the cattle come calving season... lost a half dozen calves right off the straw three years back, that adds up to a hell of a dent in a persons bottom line
Last three seasons since, our count is someplace either side of 200 coyotes between our place and two neighbours cattle outfits. Make a 25mile loop. Fox numbers haven't really boomed here though, in that same time frame it seems to me between shooting & snares we only had a dozen or so, plus two Lynx.. Anyway.
Great thread. I like seeing how guys make out in different areas!

Great looking fur! I was able to trap beaver, something I always wanted to do, but they don't live where I live! Lol I had a couple days to travel to where they DO live and had some success. I'm hooked on these critters!  |

Beavers are fun to get after, but so much work to skin, stretch and flesh only-to get next to nothing on the market! It's too bad. Muskrats too... muskrats were about my favorite growing up, brother & I sold through my uncle by the sack full as kids; catching before & after school in winter! First money we ever made.
Same story though, markets crashed and isn't what it used to be

That's a big putty cat! You got some beautiful furred critters ! Have my brother moving to Wyoming real soon and hope to make it out there to trap those white belly cats! Color of your Coyotes are amazing!
