What year?

I don't remember the year, but I can remember checking the traps. The "i" is just to the right of the racoons foot. I remember being excited I caught the coon. They were not real common where I was trapping in AZ.

I'd say a pretty good haul that day. I like a variety on the trapline.

Before 1991. Public ground banned after that

Very Cool Picture

1976?

Is that a 3 wheeler?

Around this time.

Mid to late 80s by the hat?

Yes it is. Honda 200. No suspension other than tire flex. I would carry a five gallon bucket on the front with trap stakes. I gave $400 for it and rode it five years and gave it to my nephew. It ran longer than that for him. I drilled out a set of car rims to match the bolt pattern and ran 14" car tires in the summer with no valve stem. I did it to save ware on my Woolly Buggier Tires. They were expensive. I thought so at the time anyway.
It would have been in the mid1980's. I would guess 1986 or 1987. I always trapped around Christmas/New Years. I could show you within 10 feet where that trap that caught the bobcat was. I liked trapping in a sweat shirt and having to take it off about noon. A mixed bag was common there. I caught stuff there I have never caught again. Hog nosed and spotted skunks, coati, and gray fox come to mind.

Dandy kitty

There were two types of cats in AZ from what I saw of it. The one I am holding was the long lean gray hound type. The other type was a shorter stocky heavy built cat. Not shorter length wise, height wise. All the stocky cats I caught there came out of higher elevations. But you would catch the lean cats up there too. The stocky cats were always heavier furred. You would catch cats way down in the flats, and they were flat. I was up in elevation pretty good where I was trapping for that area. I was just getting into the oak trees, but in the junipers. The oaks grow at 5000 feet, up to 8000 there. Junipers start at 3000 and go up to 7000. I was in the junipers and just getting into oaks good.
