Went up Saturday and spent the night.
Set a few traps out, snares too.
Fed the horses a bale of hay.

Had to use the winter gate to get in, we drive across an undrifted pasture, the driveway has a huge drift across it right now.

Just enough snow to blow around and make access a pain in the you know what.
Plenty of coyote tracks around and finally some bobcat sign.

Nice week ahead with warmer temps and no snow, we hope.
Back up tomorrow to check and then again on Thursday to stay a night or two.

Hoping to have some catch pics but our season has been iffy to say the least.
Had to dig out the side by side from the garage.

Well no catches. Going to pull on Tuesday.

Had some coyotes just pass right on by some sets so snares are going out along their trail, ha ha !!

We think these are mink tracks but not sure.

Spouse got the driveway plowed out so we don't have to drive across the pasture til next big snow.

Good looking cats and a lot better coats than the one I watched in a Mississippi swamp a couple weeks ago


lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch

These 2 toms get a free trip to Canada for the fur auction.
30 and 27 lbs.
Spouse will flesh them tomorrow and I'll get them boarded by end of the day.

Set pics where we caught them.

Spouse's cubby set had a miss but I got him on my trail set by a log.

Had a little adventure this morning.
No traps catches so we decided to try and call a bit. Spouse had his pocket calls.
Had this mt lion show up, about 75-100 yds.
I had a tag and the quota is still open.
105 lb male.
We should get an age from WG&F, not an old tom though for sure.

Got our bobcats tagged and now they are ready to go to the shipper for the FHA auction in Canada, June is the auction.
We'll see if coyotes are worth sending or if he wants to just buy them, they may get tanned for sale.
Bobcats stretched 44 and 45 inches to the base of the tail, good sized.

Sent our mt lion, a badger, a coyote and spouse's moose waddle to Moyle Monday for tanning. Now the wait, probably 6 months or more.

Bobcats this year were caught late January so they are nice and furry, just have narrow bellies.
The coyotes have nice guard hairs and are pretty danged furry too.

Looks like we may go up and put out what we can for the weekend along the highway property.
Bobcat season ends on March 1 so this weekend would be our last for them.
No snow up there thankfully, we got about 2 or 3 inches last night in town.

Put out 12 sets today, 3 snares and 9 coil spring traps.
Lots of coyote tracks, we're mainly hoping for bobcats, but some cat tracks as well.
Windy as heck, made the road sketchy in a few spots because of blowing and drifting snow on the Laramie side of the highway. Sybille Canyon where we have our sets is pretty clear, small drifts in spots.

We'll go up Sunday and pull everything and check on the horses at the house. Supposed to be windy but warmer all weekend.
