Well here a silent movie using coconut liner for those who have an interest. I shot it yesterday had tons of trouble with my GoPro Case ended up with 1 of 4 videos turning out OK. At least this is Set 1 of Area 1 the hottest spot on my 80 acres for bobcats and coyotes. Oh well. I can talk the bark off a tree, but best thing about trapping by myself is I don't have to talk and can enjoy the sounds of the woods. Also forgot my knife in the truck so I was using my junkie multi tool, knife works better. Coconut liner is all I use now.
December 29th - Come out and play, get off the couch, enjoy the balmy weather. Oops looks like I missed one photo here 16 of the 17 I set yesterday. Target is Coyote and Bobcats they are just perfect - Can't wait to catch 17 Opossum today.
December 30th - Got the DP,s out ready for Raccoons once the Temperature go back up. Bait catcher going and pack rat trap ready. Looks like I have fox already harassing my coyote, and bobcat sets. Added one more set.
Cold weather trapping, got to love the bad with the good. So close. Added flat set on a drag across from it and also remade this one.

2015/2016 - Bobcats came home today. 17 lbs and 23 lbs.
January 5th - Added a road kill deer after getting permission to pick up from MDC Agent. Put in 3 cable Restraints. One Left, One Right and back up down the center behind those two.
January 9th - Has been extremely Cold and Day 11 slow start to the season, but 3 days of warm weather and the Turkey egg eaters came out in force and that always good. Glad for every one
January 10th - Egg Eaters still on the move
January 11th - DP's are keeping my set free at least.
January 11 - Nothing had touch the 100 lbs plus deer road kill - Till today it was pulled off two rebar stakes and dragged over hundred yards and eaten down to rib cage in 24 hours. Unfortunately they came in thru the back thick part of plot so it was a miss and now they are full or till they get greedy.
Added two cable restraints on the path they drug out. Inner Cable 3 and Outer Cable 4

Pulled Camera Card - Not sure what's going on and why not catching any Bobcats and Coyote - No Bobcat on camera since I have set. Hmmm - Dang old fox is harassing everything.
January 13th - Boom Shaka-Laka - Big Male Coyote Down 37.2 lbs. breaks my farm record for weight. Inner Cable 3 gets it done.
