It's been super dry where he's going over the last few months but luckily they got 5nor 6 inches of rain the week before he went down.

The animals are moving now.

All sign is new because it was all washed away before he got there.

Must be nice to have extra money to trap different States.

Not sure but If he's not getting paid to trap then he might just be losing money. Is there still a coyote live market In MS?

He lives very frugally so that he can save every penny he can to fund these trips.

These trips are his "vacation"

He's not independently wealthy where he can just go to the bank and get what he needs like candy.

It comes down to self discipline..


We never have "extra money" ..as soom as We think we're truly getting ahead, something breaks down that has to be replaced or fixed.

His wheelbearing came out of his trailer his 3rd day in Mississippi so he had together that fixed.

It's always something.

Beaverpeeler..Some.places pay, most don't.

is a live yote market buy he doesn't do live market anymore..he said it's too much of a pain.

And you're right, some of these trips he just breaks even or even loses a little cause right now most markets suck, he goes because he truly loves to trap..

Like most rednecks love Nascar or football...? ..or how.some guys love the rodeo.. that's how much he loves to trap.

50 a coyote is my understanding from a Live Market guy In Mississippi. It’s like a big co op. Good old boys co op type deal. IF your in the = Click. They will tell you = which pens need coyotes and so on. If not. You show up. And it’s the same ol BS ! Don’t need but 6 of your 10 coyotes. That 1s foot looks to bad and on and on

He lives the life many of us aspire to. Cathryn, I'm glad you're hooked up with guy like that....and keep the pics coming, I love to see other parts of the country that have fur.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

We've had the pleasure of meeting and hanging out with Jerry and Cathryn. They are some of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet. With those folks, what you see is what you get.

Truth be told, they are both living the kind of life that most of us would like to.

But...the way that Cathryn picks on and torments Jerry, I'm surprised he still keeps coming back from his trapping trips. smile

Ctraps..I reckon he's a glutton for punishment, lol

I might pick and tease him.but he knows I got his back, sane as he's got mine so it works for us.

He can take care of himself of course but it never hurts to have a little back up now and then.

Cathryn, you may want to mention that fellow looking for piebald critters on here. Great looking catches!

I haven't been online. The lady I clean forsythia husband had his kidney removed and I'm helping with him. He's got a catheter and the whole nine yards.

Anyway.. jerrys doing great. This was yesterday's catch
