Well the mouse traps worked and my alligator is happy! Look how fat the one on the left is. I'd say it was about to pop! Once a trapper always a trapper lol.
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

In my garage lol. He's actually visiting my classroom right now. He lives either in a 180 gal tank or a 300 gal Rubbermaid water tank. Lol. Has a turtle for a friend that's always with him. During the summer I put a harness on him and let hi sun in the yard.

I sure wish we had more fox around here. Trade them in for coyotes any day

I actually try and avoid coyotes up here. They sell pretty good but when I'm in yotes I'm usually out of fox and I just like getting them so much more!

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 told my wife the same thing. As much as I love North Dakota, there's still a lot lacking. We were really excited to move back to Walla Walla in a few years, but with I-594 passing, it's just not in the cards. So Idaho it will probably be.
