Bruce is your Cat population seem to be better, I know last year you thought it might be on the decline.

Lots of cat sign over here this year, probably the most I've ever seen.

I think cat population is way down. The mountain beavers are gone so what do they eat. Never see a rabbit. I used to catch multiple cats at a set. Now I pull the set after one catch.
Do you pull your cat set after one catch regardless of its sex?
The mountains are calling, I must go.

If I catch a female or kitten I let them go and leave the set but if I take a tom I pull.

Now we're talkin! Very impressive, Bruce. All bulls I'm sure!
Fellas, Bruce is tired of hearin me say this, but I'll mention it for the last time. To my way of thinkin, you guys should be targeting civits and avoiding those coast cats as non-targets. Unless you need a cat to make civit bait with.
Bruce is leading the way yet again: High Rollin Civit trappin!

Bruce have you ever tried those pipe traps for mink like a pocket set?  I've heard they can't resist a dark hole

I have with no luck. I think the trap is a little too short for mink. Seems like it would be simple to extend the pipe a little but it is the working parts that are too short and with the trigger I have in them I ran into problems trying to lengthen it out.
I'm sure a pipe trap would work good for mink but they make them that are not airtight like mine. These would probably be the way to go.

Two cats today :lol4: Boy was it wet and they show it. Don't call it the rain forest for nothing I guess.
Also had a trap come up missing but I got it back.
Brush cutting crew decided to help them selves but they were still in the area so I ran them down and got it back.
I kind of chewed on them a bit over it. Of course they said it looked like it had been abandoned for years. Where have I heard that before? :bash:
