No cats last night on my cams or the neighbors cams. He is going over tonight as we are supposed to get snow and he is going to try to track them down. I have volleyball for my daughter and can’t get away until Saturday afternoon.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

You need to get in there and call. The fact the those cats keep coming back to your scraps that often means their hungry. I’ve called in 7 cats now since December and we’ve killed 3 of them. All have been in the area within the last 12hrs of me setting up and calling. If you can sneak in without them knowing it shouldn’t take long for one to respond.

No cats on camera last night. Cabin is right at snow level so it didn’t stick.

Volleyball this afternoon and tomorrow but tomorrow night and Sunday morning I’m going to do some calling and hope to have some positive results to report.

No cats for two days. Neighbor says there are birds on a fresh kill site. Drove over and watched til dark then set up a camera on the new kill. It’s a doe. Base of head is eaten and both hind quarters. Backstraps, front shoulders and neck are all still intact. Hoping they come back tonight and into daylight. Kill site is one draw over from where my bait was.

🤞🤞🤞

Nothing but birds on the deer for the last two days. It’s been crazy windy.

Heading back home to go to work.

Maybe buy some Airtags and put them inside some steaks and chicken breasts and put those out there? :dunno:

The eagles drug the carcass out of view of the camera. :bash:

I appreciate the support.

Had a coyote on camera today. Cats have moved on.
