We had a bit of a snowstorm last night putting down about 3 inch of heavy wet snow. Coming back from the farm that I trap managed to slide my truck and trailer into the ditch going up a steep curving hill. Tires spun out about 3/4 of the way up the hill so about 1 1/2 hours later and 80 bucks the wrecker made it to me and got me going again. Adult female in a stepdown dirt hole Bridger #2 dogless full pad catch. I also caught another young bobcat on my farm day before yesterday but forgot my phone for pics.

Remember, in low price years, we trap for the pure enjoyment of being out in nature. In good price years, we do it to help ground nesters and land managers remove livestock predators. What we spend along the way is immaterial to what we gain.

And if you believe any of this, you’re a trapper, for sure

Mud dog caught one also Sunday. How many cats this year to release? I’ve caught three so far and only have a dozen yote sets out it’s ridiculous we can’t keep these things.

It's worth $80 if you hurry up and sell it 3 years ago.

Yeah fellas, but how much does your fishing boat make you, or camper, or golf cart? Not in it for the money. Just think what we get to see on a daily basis that the city slickers never get to. Maybe I'm just getting old, but love to see the sunrises on a spinning dog.

I think we are laughing with, not at. Part of the game is dealing with disappointment and learning to hit the curve.
