Well I had to do something to keep my hand in the game Ron. Yeah it's one of the best colored cats I've seen from this area. Usually they are reddish brown ugly and not worth taking. I'll try to remember to get more pix.

Those prices might be nice but probably would put a lot of people out in the woods again.

Well, I'll be leaving for awhile. The MiFi's leaving with my child. It was nice talking with you again and stiring the pot.
If you noticed, I moved. smile

Don't have too big of a party! LOL

They are indeed an awesome looking animal. Better sold to the taxi market than the auction. The problem is there is nothing to match them with to make a decent lot. Even if you took several blue lynx together they will vary in colour, size and quality. Some very "pretty" wild cross fox and silvers are in the same boat.

Spent the day out on the line getting the trails back in place. Wolves were 8 miles up river. So i fixed up some wolf sets see if i can get them to visit longer this time. Jus glad to go get the trail in. About a foot deep, and drifted in places. Trail camera had some pictures, the batteries were dead. Check it out in a few days.

I couldn't agree more I did 70 miles yesterday in pouring rain !! The only thing good about it is the beaver and otter are both moving well beaver crawling out to find fresh feed and otters just plain running all over. The bad part is I can hardly get to my sets and after the rain last night & today I am washed out till it cools down frown

Calling for real warm here and possible rain tomorrow, hope not!

Took the wife out today, was one of those days with cat tracks between my sets, wolves in the wrong place, etc, but a least we didn't get skunked. Put in a couple more wolf sets, hope to connect one of these days.

It was raining out on the line today. Overflow had the snow machine sounding like an outboard motor. Not what I like at all. Snow is almost nothing and what critter trails we did see, weren't running our trails. Thank god it looks like it is going to get cold here in a day or two. Will probably have to go through and fix all the foot hold sets after all the wet snow freezes hard. Uggg.

otterman we did about 110-120 in the pouring rain yesterday also it SUCKED. We didn't even bother to reset most of our footholds. pointless with pouring rain and forecast for temps to drop again.

Yukonjeff - that is a beautiful cat. the only one I caught was a youngster too, is that typical? No way that one will sell for what mine did in 1981. My personal high for any fur I ever sold. Over $1,200

Bushman that is alot of money for a lynx!

The trapper that brought it in showed me a twin kitten that was with it and it was a normal color Lynx.

I believe team Kusko got two of them one was a adult I belive..must of made a deal with the devil to catch two smile
