you done parboiling yer bunnies yet?

Thanks guys... Kirk, it was caught only about 2-3 miles from the house, but yeah, that one pic is rather close(right off the porch)..

Way to go guys!

Thanks elkchsr...

Had a cat step on the jaw of a coyote/cat set today, and stick his nose in the dirt hole.. The set is now heavily blocked, exposed, and has a flag hanging.. Next time he works that set, I should have him.. It was bad too, because I cut his tracks and saw them headed right for my set, then, nothing...

Got out to check snares today. Been a rough week of getting around to check them down here. Have had 40 mph winds and snowing making getting around tough. First snare of the day I walked up to a VERY alive badger. Snow had filled in the cow trail enough to where the badger got neck snared but got one leg through the loop. You might know a badger can move a lot of dirt when caught in a trap, well they can move a schit ton when they are caught in a 10' snare.


Rest of the morning was a lot of hoofing it into snaring spots from the trails being to full of snow. I almost decided to go back and get one of my mules to ride and check snares but decided to just man up and throw the pack on and go. Ended up having an alright day. Found some fresh bobcat tracks so hoping to get lucky and put a loop around one of them.

Another bad day for the bunnies...

let the parboiling begin......

That is a one ton pickup...

Laker,

That one up front looks B&C.

Me and a work buddy got it done this morning. Coyotes were responding well today. Called one in on the 1st stand of the morning and it decided to not commit and it slipped through the cracks. Oh well ... picked up and hurried to our next stop. 2nd stand of the morning we called this young girl in with our hand calls. Started with ecaller but switched over to the hand calls and she quickly popped out of the timber presenting a shot for my 204. Bang Flop ... end of story! I don't know what it is but coyotes always seem to get my blood pumping. Good times!

He's a man alright but I'll bet that pale in the back fetches more money.

What's wrong with that pale one's back leg Laker?
Looks like an old gunshot or something.

Fieldgrade rodents chewed on her leg under the snow drift. She's the one pictured hanging from the old cedar tree

Laker, that is a gorgeous pale. Bet you are looking at close to $100 for that one.

Laker that's a great haul! Shrap, that '95 looks like an UBER rabbit whomper..

Downstream socked one with his Socko on the way to set new cat traps this morning.

Ben that's got kitty written all over it

Laker, would you mind sharing what you averaged on your coyotes?

For October-November coyotes I averaged $65 finished. I haven't sold any of my December-January coyotes yet.

Good deal thanks

Yea,,, I was pretty sure they were one and the same.
Dam rodents. Good thing there's not allot of value in that part of the leg.
I know they give a price for the lot but for curiosity's sake, ask your fur buyer what the stand alone price would be for that one when you sell.

Will do. Probably won't sell again till middle of February. She will be easy to tell when I sell unless I get a few more like her which I'm hoping for
