Title: A little prescouting for the upcoming trapping season.
Post by: Jerry Hunsley on October 21, 2008, 03:09:39 PM
Yesterday, I went out and talked to the rancher about trapping on his land this year. He gave me the go ahead, so I spent the day looking around. It looks pretty promising for coyotes. There are several praire dog towns on his land and plenty of sign around. I saw one coyote that was dumb as a rock , and just stood there as I drove by. I spared him. The snakes are still out as I killed 7 rattlers just looking around in the dog towns. Yesterday was a beautiful day . Today it is raining off and on and totally different out.  It is always nice to know that you are welcome on a place and I am anxioulsly waiting to put some steel in the ground and hang a few snares. That will be about the first weekend in Nov. Hope you guys are already to go. I will post some pictures later.

It is nice to have a place to look around but if I saw one of them snakes I'd dang sure not be looking there anymore.  Good luck with the line.  I'm about ready but the coyotes are not quite ready.

Sounds good for your upcoming season, Jerry.  You can have my part of those damned snakes though.  Hope you and Wiley have a great season.
