I've seen one in elk WA few years back and I heard of a few since but I got so many coyote around my place its crazy! Sure wish we could snare here.

That's my old stomping ground. Use to trap tons of yotes, cat, beaver and rats in that area years ago! Never ran into a fox but things change. Love that area, planned on moving back there until i594. Now I've been looking at North Idaho. Be better trapping anyway.
I'm right there with ya.  Been thinking of Idaho trapping. But non res trappers license is little over $300 plus all my fuel!  I been chatting with your dad a little lately.  He said something about bobcat.

I'm planning on trapping there as soon as I move down. Bobcats will be my main focus. I've already got all the traps a person could fathom for it. Along with wolf traps. I'll also run a 100% Snowmachine line, not many guys down there take it to that level. I'm coming down over Christmas for a couple weeks and plan on running his line with him in WA. Hoping to get a fat tom to send off to the taxidermist. Seems like most my furs end up decorating my house lol.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Cats skinned left the skull in and feet in. Putting him on taxidermy.net. He measured 46" from base of tail to nose. Good sized cat!

My dad got one that was 48" I believe. Game warden that tagged it thought it was a lynx at first. Monster tom!
