flyfish's 2019-2020 trapping season
« on: January 13, 2020, 05:35:38 PM »
I caught one possum, a bobcat that was to small to keep so I let it go and finally with the first good snow I caught my first weasel of the year.

Thanks for that photo of the weasel.  It answers a question some of us have been batting around.  Yes, some weasels DO remain brown all winter.  Where was that weasel caught?

Nice job and good work. I am still trying to catch my first weasel.... (seem to have rotten luck on that).

weasel was caught in clark county. we got a dumping of snow last night, nothing caught today and no tracks except deer and elk tracks. should get more action soon though if we don't get any more snow.

1-16-20 was a busy day.
At 3:29 pm, the cat on  the ground hears the young man coming.
At 3:35 pm, the one that had been on on the ground had left and the one on the tree also hears a person coming. At 3:36 pm, the person came and probably didn't know he was that close to the cats.

WOW!  that's  nice to see this.  Thanks for sharing.

Those are GREAT pictures!  Do you think the cats were a mated pair?

I caught the same bobcat again I think and I let it go as it hadn't grown noticably bigger. about 1 mile away from where I caught it before. I think I will keep the next one that I catch no matter what size it is as I just want to keep one now. I can't even find bobcat tracks in the snow so I feel like this is a down year for cats in my area.
