Re: DustyC trapping 09
Heres what I caught yesterday. The bobcat is an average size for this country, but the coyote was the biggest I have ever seen around here.40.3 pounds!!!! Shocked hell out of me to see him hangin over the side of a cut bank in my snare.

Re: DustyC trapping 09
Coyotes are looking a little rough but theres still a few that look decent. Cats still look great. I still can't believe the size of that coyote. He looked better than the pic shoes so I'll put him up.

Re: DustyC trapping 09
I found this cat in one of my snares this morning. I haven't caught one this big before. It feels like it ways around 30#. I'll weigh it tonight on a friends scale that he uses when he puts on his hunts. I know the biggest one out of this country last year was 47'' when stretched and I can't remember the weight. I'll have to do a speed dry to get this one ready to sell tomorrow.

Re: DustyC trapping 09
I sold 4 cats to John Graham last night. Really a good guy. Took the time and answered all of my questions and really gave me some good advice on putting up fur. My cats brought the most out of any there. There were only 18 cats sold last night. I averaged an even $500. I gecided to hpld on to the big one just because I wanted to look at him more!
He also paid $30 for about 20 feet on fox, the fox averaged around $15. Coyotes seemed to average around the 25 -$30 mark. Very few badger and 1 guy sold 8 put up skunks for $5.
