Thanks for the hint, Randy. Must be close to trapping season?

Season opens November 1st. I had to switch to logwood crystals when I moved to Arizona. Just not too many walnut trees around here.
I've got a coyote who keeps crapping in my driveway each night, I think he might be the first to fit on a stretcher this season.

Just finished running two lines, entered one field at 4a.m. and saw three gray fox... felt certain both sets would be full but I was wrong. Trapping a chicken farm isn't all it's cracked up to be, food sources everywhere and cows trample any gland lure they find!
How many beaver traps did you fit in that pot Tim?

There's a dozen traps in there. Mostly FC Taylor #4's and a couple of Livestock Protection traps as well. And two spare drags.
I should have added in a few Montgomery 1.5's for these little kitt fox, but I guess I'll have to boil them in the next pot.
All of the coyote traps are on drags so far this year. I'm only going to run one or two traps at a time, except for long weekends. And I've picked up some cage traps to trap bobcats on the public lands.

<-Insert photo of 15 drowned possums and four muddy coons here->

I'll post some of mine once the line gets swinging... usually picks up after the freeze and I get snares out. I snare a lot better than I do steel.

You'd better hold off on the dead possum and coon pictures until at least the 16th of next month ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
You mean that there are still possums left in Indiana? I thought Morelock had caught them all by now!
Any why is it that the biggest coons you catch all year, come during the early coyote season, when you aren't allowed to keep the coons?

Tim can you confirm what Vic said years ago, that there ain't no opposums in Arizona? Don't seem logical, to me? LB

If there are possums here, I sure haven't seen one. As far as I can tell, we have no possums, and no red fox. But we do have a few coons here and there in pockets.
I want to catch one of those ringtails. Those are some cool looking critters!

Hmm? I have always assumed that ringtails were protected? I have only seen two, ever. One was up around Kingman, the other was down by you, but over in NM.
I have heard that there are some reds up in the four corners area, but never seen one personally. Well, I did see one years ago, up in central CA. Kit fox are protected in CA.
No opposums? As numerous as they are everywhere else, that is really hard to understand?
Good hunting. LB

Funny you mention that Leonard, I just had someone the other day say something about possums. I of course said, we don't have them here, and was called on it, by another guy saying he had seem them here?
Only other person I know that has claimed to have seen them here was,?????? whats his name, from the old shade tree days. I met him at Bruces BBQ along with everyone else, and have to say that after meeting him, I think he really did see one. As I told him though, it must have shook loose from the under carriage of a an 18 wheeler coming from Louisana:)
Ive never seen one in Arizona, nor has anyone I hold in regard seen one....I just don't think they are here?

I think I know who you mean, Vic. Was his name James Thomas, something like that? Last I heard, he moved to West Virginia so he could cock fight.
Good hunting. LB

Cockfight? Glow in the dark? Anybody see "SKIN DEEP"?
I've seen 'possom in Ca. never in Az. I did see a red fox in Bloody Basin 20 years ago. About the same time my neighbor was manager of the Buckeye Landfill and he told me that a red fox lived on the premises.

Tim, by drowned possums I meant because of all the rain we're having they look pretty disgusting when I get to them. Nothing dead of course!
In the northern regions we've had 5-8" of rain in the last four days. I've had a few inches here... just enough to turn everything into soup.
You know what a coon or a possum looks like after he's been staked down to a muddy circle in the rain for a few hours? He looks like Doyle after a shower but before coffee.
I know what you mean about the big coons in early season... here is a picture of one I caught on opening day of coon season last year in a coyote snare.

Here's a few grinners for all you AZ boys that may have forgotten what they look like. After seeing half a dozen a day all season you kinda get jaded to the beauty of the creatures.
(edit: I'm going to take the liberty of deleting all five of those photos, which are in bitmap format, take up a lot of space and take forever to download. Maybe you can reconfigure as jpegs. LB)

Ugly little things aren't they? Nope, don't have them, and don't miss them
Leonard,
Not only are the kit fox not protected here, I've a couple that may come into season a few days early.
I'm waiting for shooting light right now.
Damned things have been torquing my dogs since 3 this morning. If they haven't gone down a hole by the time it's light, I'm getting even for lost sleep!

Yeah, Leonard, thats the guy, James Thomas.You know, after meeting the guy, Im prone to believe him, seemed to be very honest, and very knowledgable about trapping, calling and hunting. Some of his claims had me scratching my head, and we bantered about it on the board. He claims to have seen jagurandi cats? wolves,,marguay cats, possums and a few other things Ive never laid eyes on in my 52 years here in southern Az. Just becasue Ive never seen them, certainly doesn't mean they don't exist, but no one I personally know has either....go figure?
