  The same morning from the first trap to the last on this side of the pasture. We had three or four more on the east side of the property that caught about as many as these did. I don't know who that goofy person is talking to the pigs and he can barely do math.

  @bigfoot I hung it up after this one. Nature was calling me and I had to answer and I hadn't had any coffee yet. If we get back I am for sure going to clean the window.

  @prometheus that’s some sound advice. As I get older I get wiser. Probably would have downed an elk by myself in my 20’s and spent 4 days packing it out. Now, we like ATV access or a group of guys to assist if someone downs one. Same logic when sheep hunting, take 2 guys or hunt close to the ATV’s. We spent 2 days packing out my buddy’s ram in 2016. You see so many guys claiming to do solo hunts and pack everything out countless miles on the first trip. Every honest hunter knows that’s not the case. Don’t know how many horses you would need to pack an elk out in one trip 3-4 plus 1 per rider??

  Not a fan of the poisonous snakes. Nope not at all. I quite enjoy killing them. Killed something like 35-40 of them this summer/fall.

  @hypo, It’s probably man-bear/pig. Half man, half bearpig. We have a couple (2) wolves in the area last I checked but they were further north. I have a 85 pound Malinois puppy at home. He’s got big feet, but not this big. I don’t think it’s anything canine. This print has to be at least six inches wide. Figure that quarter is 45 thou less than an inch. I’ve done some checking and that’s too big for all but the odd few cats. I think the official word is bear. I’ll be back up there in a couple days for more scouting. I’ll see if I I can’t find more or better prints.

  I enjoy shooting, stalking, practicing in the rain. Thinking about going out while in the house might be daunting and even sometimes when it starts raining my "city" brain tries to kick in and say "why are you out here in the rain". But the funny thing is, when you are out in the rain, it seems far less disruptive that when you are actually out in it. Even "noah's rains" don't seem too bad. Of course, I grew up in Florida where our idea of a "regular rain" most people call a "heavy rain". Also, more recently, when I've been doing my wind practice, I've noted the rain (or the snow) is a useful wind gauge, so it has value for that as well! == Well, in Kansas, we don't have hogs and we don't have p-dogs ... just coons, opossum, yotes ... so I dont' get to have fun shooting p-dogs ... though it does not sound like I would like what they do to pastures.

  Draw deadline for AZ Deer/Sheep is Tuesday. Just put my draw in for me and my youngest. I'm going for Whitetails only in two different units. For my boy, I put him in for Youth only, any antlered deer, in two units, and a youth only, any deer, in a unit near the AZ/UT border. I bought a point only for my son for Javelina, and a point for me in bighorn sheep.

  @tackyp Very cool. I wouldn’t mind hiking the 150 miles from. Death Valley to Whitney, but as you say I can’t stand California politics and don’t intend to return. It is a shame that such beautiful country is wasted on liberals.

  Is it possible the black yote might have been a hybrid. It looks beefier that the other yotes.

  Usually I shoot coyotes with a camera, which is always rolling and getting them. It was certainly a change of mindset being on the set with a rifle. Lots of miles put on, but through beautiful country I'm ready for more.

  Indeed very busy but I like it ;) There are not all here, the ones that are missing is simply because I have not taken photos, it is usually late and I have to load it in the car, peel and cut it. To date 19 hogs this season and 3 lost wounded.

  Glad I live in the country. Around the corner from me taken on the way to work an hour ago. Walked all the way to go back property corner. Lots of critter sign. This is one of the smaller burrows. 12" opening under the roots. At least I got the frame done. Fixing a leaking front hose spigot was the priority. Can't have a well run dry. Was making a wet spot that could eventually soak the crawlspace. Base is next. H frame of PVC with two upright pipes to hold the frame.

  I think the bear faked him out. It was never looking directly at him but was slowly working its way closer to the hunter. Then when it was close enough for a quick burst of speed it pounced. Smarter than your average bear?

  Well they did have the hints up on YouTube and TV for awhile, so that's pretty good evidence I would think.
