Just got back from the ranch where we found a 39 lb. tom in one of our snares. The quail are thanking me..

I wish we didn't have so many. They decimated the quail crop on our ranch this year. We had an unusually wet year in 2004 and I guess they have fed well due to the population of rabbits and quail. Although we have lots of coyotes too, the cats are much harder on the quail than the coyotes. Since early fall we started seeing the tell tale sign of feather piles all over the ranch. Predator control is definitely a requirement for game management.

We also have the long tailed cats (Cougar) in this area but thankfully we've not seen any sign of them on our ranch. Two ranches over from our ranch they are actively trying to bait one in as they have had several goats killed over the last 5 or 6 weeks. I sure don't want any part of that!

Sure would be fun to get one of those, not the downside of the small game population though! Hope everything goes well and keep up the hunting! Good luck, - Buckhunter14

Nice boots, look like Roy Rogers with the pants inside like that.

I know what a wild barn kitty cat will do to a hand if you try to grab him, Id hate to think what he could do. WOW.

Very nice cat, I have a picture that I am trying to get posted to show a big cat that a guy killed during deer season. I can not get it to post, it says picture is too big.
