Am lousy Bobcat caller...

[Hern]

 I'm done. Ka-put. Finished for the season. Calling & Trapping. (maybe Beaver trapping in March)
I have 6 Cable Restraints out, but am pulling tomorrow.

I don't post many pictures or stories, but would like to share.
Bobcat calling & trapping was a flop for me, but added some Fox calling the past two days.

I called for Bobcats five times. No luck. The past two days I worked on Fox, too.
I used a shotgun since I was in good cover.
Yesterday I killed a Red Fox and double on Greys.
Todays kill, 2 Red Fox at different locations.

I was heading home with one Red. I decided to stop above our house to call a brushy ravine where I had some Cable Restraints hanging.
I purposely called at this spot to see if I could get a Fox or Coyote to respond and run into my cable restraints.
In the past, I have called 2 Fox into cables as I watched. Neat chit. I've tried and tried to cable call a Coyote, but that's hasn't happened yet.
I have 4 trails setup with cable restraints, at this spot. It happened. I was playing a bird distress with decoy twitching around.
I saw movement and the Red was already cabled and flying around and caught by the neck.
Did I call the Red or trap the Red?...I don't care, it's in the shed.  That was as exciting as pulling the trigger.
I love this stuff.
Am done for the season.

I'll post picture when they are finished & put up.

Awesome story, Hern. Thanks for sharing!

dreamcatcher, our Fox population is down. I surprised myself.
I skun those Fox today and boarded 4 of them, then I tired out. Will board last one tomorrow. Maybe tomorrow have another in cable where I called today.
Thanks, foxhound

Hern, Jake and I passed your house this past weekend.  I thought of stopping in but it would have been unannounced and did not want to surprise you and the little misses in the hot tub.

[Hern]

Lookn2stopinbutjakedidn'twanta, Buckwheat does that all the time. Usually a 10-15 minute phone call before hand.
Dang, you guys could've invited me along. Did you kill anything? or Drink yourself stupid? What kind of weekend was it?

[Pa Goosehntr]

  "Dang, you guys could've invited me along."...Hern, Lookn4critters didn't want to disclose his "Hot Spots", so a ride along isn't possible

  Hey Goose! Having worked for NSA in the past, I had the PM intercepted and decoded  I have a friend who is an analyst working on it  It seems it's some kind of mathematical equation  where ...
JAKE (0)+(0) X LOOKn4aColdSpot (0) + (0)=0................He said we are going to have to buy him Brekie and lunch as this is the hardest encrypted message ever  he keeps just getting Zero's..... He did say one time the image of an icicle came up  and another time someone holding what looks like a photo shopped cat  that on further review was about the size of a rabbit  ...I will keep you posted....

[Pa Goosehntr]

  Sounds interesting!!

[Lookn4Fur]

Thats a lot of thinking for a man your age.  I hope you took a good nap after that.
