If I heard it right, he gor 20 ea for the coyotes and 100 for the cat,
but the cat was sold to somebody else, hardly worth it he says, but it
was an experience for me. That's a whoooole different environment than
what I am used to ..lol

He traps the coyotes because they're pests, after losing a litter of
rabbit hounds to a hungry coyote, he's been particularly adamant they
should all be exterminated. So it isn't about the money.

Sounds like a totally politically incorrect Christmas. Congratulations!

"Freaky 3D sign business"?? May I suggest making up some of those coyote
head cat deterrents for Christmas trees.

Here in SoCal coyotes are also a problem; however, most people accept
the fact that the coyotes were here first and it's the humans that are
invading the coyotes space.

Same goes for the rattlesnakes, mountain lions and brown bears.

The 2 legged kind are all over the place witness the cop who was just
killed at a trailer park west of Springfield, Ohio today.

Here in SoCal, living with the 4 legged kind is simply a fact of life,
especially when houses are build right into wildlife mountain
habitant.

I heard that if you live in the city, you don't have a problem with
wildlife, unless it is the two legged kind.
I'd rather live with the 4 legged kind, at least they don't have guns.

Hey Robatoy how much loot did you fellas collect for the 'yotes and
that bobcat? I used to trap years ago when fur prices were way up. As
a matter of fact, now that deer season is over I'm gonna pop out a
coupla' mink traps to monkey with for the winter.

Here, (Southern California) we have 2 mountain lion brothers roaming around
the neighborhood. Seen them a couple of times really early in the morning.
They have been able to grab a few dogs and jump right over an 8 foot wall
and countless number of cats.
