Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Predators and Varmints 2014 annual dead critter, fur and varmint thread

Ya Ben I pulled most of my traps and just have my snares out now but even snaring is tough right now because they seem to be wandering to randomly to try setting anything.

No limit Ben but I'll probably pull my traps if I keep catching these youngsters.
Gotta leave some seed ya know.

sleeping cats eat no wabbits!

Wow,,, you've already killed three Cats in 2014?

Good work.

actually its the only 3 ive ever killed. deer hunting aint been good,but i have saw 4 cats and a couple coyotes. 35 whelen aint the best choice for cat killing,but it works. top pix was with a 257 Weatherby.

Thought I would share this of my retriever Jack Russell. Its nice when you dont even have to get your feet wet and cold.

I've only got a couple footholds out now, I pulled most of them when the first snow fell.. I'm running snares for the most part right now. But even they have to be maintained heavily when it's dumping snow every few days. Thinking I'm going to get some calcium chloride and set out some more steel with that for antifreeze what with the temperatures rising and falling so much the past few days. I'd like to see how that works. Would help a bunch I'm sure.

Charlie, definitely save some for seed. The little fellers this year will be purrfect next year..

17Hunter, love that JRT! One of my best buds has had one forever as his trapping dog. It's the toughest little thing I've ever seen. She doesn't shy away from a fight!

Yep,,,, since I'm the only one that hunts or traps predators on this mountain I've got no one else to blame but myself if the numbers or quality goes down.


Oh,,, and 17Hunter,,,,, that JRT pic is a classic.

numbers 56 and 57 for the season for me. Can ya guess which two were shot with the .17/204 and which two were shot with a cannon?

bottom 2 are real nice dogs, TR.

So TR what cal was the cannon? A 223.....

TR, those are some nice coyotes. What does Rick the Verminator think of you using that .17? I remember in one of those videos he was giving you a hard time for using a .204..

you guessed it Nate.
Rick was out early season with me and used my .17/204 on a few coyotes, and needless to say he liked it. Funny about the .204, he's got a couple of them now himself. He's coming around to the little bullets for called coyotes and cats.

#2 with "Ugly duckling" this morning.
