Always been a lot of value in a skunk.

I just sell them in the whole to our trap shop. Can’t take that chance of getting sprayed skinning them with my job 😂

Picked up a nice 28 lb cat this morning. My daughter was pretty stoked. Remade the set and added a walkthrough about 5 yards from it.

I’m thinking our cat numbers are pretty low this year in my area, there was only nine of them offered at the first north Idaho fur sale last week.

Remake pics of the cubby and a walkthrough heading towards it. There is actually quite of bit of blocking added that just blends in on that walkthrough channeling them into it.

Nice cat! Your daughter will always remember when she and Dad caught a cat as big as she was.

 :yeah:  Bobcat numbers are definitely down in our area too, they've been trapped pretty hard the last few years.

Was reading a study on bobcats in the Frank Church 82-85. Hornocker was one of the bios. It took them four times the amount of trap nights to catch 1/4 of the cats to collar on a low snow year versus a good snow year.
I beleive this explains the low harvest throughout the entire Inter mountain west this season.

One doesn't normally connect migration due to snow with cats but bobcats do move down out of the high country when the snow gets deep. Perhaps the lack of cats is just a more spread out population then normal.

With these warmer temperatures I’m able to cover my cat sets using my favorite method, moss! I feel like it makes a soft little spot for them to step 😂
