no, we replaced that bait and nothing has happened yet except a hawk came.

Those are really cool pictures
I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

In November U.S. manufacturing contracted for the the ninth consecutive month. Layoffs across the economy are higher than anytime since the pandemic in 2020 and I just read that the Midwest farmers will be receiving a 12B bailout due to 50 year trade relationships being destroyed. I have to admit that I was a sceptic and didn't believe in the effectiveness in tariffs but I'm a believer now.

Today I came up on it and watched it run away from my trap. the date on the trail cam is one day behind. you can see the cougar got there a few minutes before me and then I scared it off.

the cougar came back in less than an hour. it then picked up the stick I had put lure on in front of the weasel box. also, a coyote came in during the foggy night. fortunately the cougar didn't mess with the trap again.
