Do you have any pictures from your trapline? They should add a forum for the trapline here. I sure do love the cats. here are a few pictures.

Those pics are VERY COOL! I think we should do a shirt with some sort of "trapping" theme...

How bout one with the cat hissing and with more of the trap in the picture. I don't really know what they look like, so I'll need reference.
Whatever you think would look cool on a shirt!

Great bobcat photos! :thumb Good job.....curiosity kills the cat.

You hit a tender spot with your question and the answer is only old ones. The treehuggers have moved into Colorado by the trainloads and in 1992 they got it on the ballot and the people of Colorado voted to outlaw trapping. There's only one thing I enjoy more then hunting big game and that is trapping and outwitting furbearers. Every fall when the night air turns cold, that fever starts to boil in me again. I can remember lying awake at night, sleepless knowing that those couple dozen sets already had some catches and couldn't sleep for the life of me, waiting for 4 or 5AM to roll around so I could head out and check my sets. I really love my state and the big game hunting here is great but as I've told my wife, if we ever move away, I want to move to a state that I can trap in and teach my boys how to trap and run some lines with them. I still get fur-fish-game and read it all of the time and I would love to have a trapping forum here at MuleyMadness.

Those are some great pics my friend and some fine lookin' cats too!

Although I've never done any real trapping I'd love to see what Coop could come up with regarding a T or something

Hiker, you know you can cage trap don't you? Since hardly nobody uses them, guys are doing pretty good at it. If, you need help I know a guy that could help you out. One of the best cage trappers in the country.

I might have to give cages a try. Does he use them for fox and yotes too?Nice to see someone still using longsprings. Are those longsprings #3? I had pretty much switched over to coilsprings for dry land and conibers for water.
