2012 ID Cat opener. - 12/15/12
My favorite day of the year by far even if there isn't any snow to find trax for the dogs.
To cold for my old bones this morning, but being the opener I deceided to take a hike down river this afternoon where I'd seen a cat a few years ago but never hunted or trapped since part of it's Tribal land and I'm not sure where the boundries are.
Truth is, I was basically looking for the boundries and some good locations to maybe place a few traps, but I took the 22mag and a squeeker along anyway. Bout ten minutes into my first half hearted stand this young female stepped out at about 30yrds. She set down and looked at me for a few minutes and then stood and turned to leave so I poked a hole in her with my little Henry.
Bet she don't do that again.
Only down side was that I had those poor kids in CT on my mind the whole time.
Still kinda feel guilty for having fun on a day like this.
