Good going Dennis. Looks like you are having fun. I didn't know cats were bringing that much this year. I need to get busy. One of my buddies put out some boxes last week and caught 4 bobcats and it was his first time to ever try trapping. I usually take the box traps with skunks to the closest pond and put them underwater to kill them.
It can be a lot of work, in fact it is a lot of work but it sure is fun when coming around the corner and see the trap tripped....then when you see the skunks, its not so fun
What did your buddy use for bait in his traps? Thats quite a haul getting 4.
I like the Idea of drowning them, but its so dry around us that there is no water. The only water is the pool the beaver are living in, and its a mile from the skunks. I plugged the beaver openings with sticks to see if they are disturbed when going back next weekend. If so, we will set up again.
80+ lbs beaver. He was heavy.
**Clarification...?***
The buyer in KS wants you to leave the Bobcats whole, or all the animals he buys whole?
That could be good, those Beavers can be hard to skin sometimes, would be much easier to throw them in the freezer and let them do it.

Man! thats a brute! Welcome to the hunting/fishing forum!! You've got a good start
I'll look and see if I can find that link. My buddy pulled it up on his Iphone and showed me.
The buyer does not want any of them skinned. He offers the same price with the hide on as off. Thats the way I like it.
There was one exception, but the difference was only a couple of bucks. Can't remember which it was.
This it Dennis..?
Kanokla Fur Co
If not, he says he buys them whole. I might have to get back into trapping,..Prepping the fur the old way was what I couldn't do well.
