Lance Report post Posted March 27, 2015 I used to go trapping with my awesome Father when I was very young, but this was the First year trapping for our Family! We didn't get to trap as much this year as we had hoped because we were busy hunting. But that's OK, it was a great year and a great trapping season! In the time we trapped we were blessed to catch 19 cats. We kept and took 12 of them to the ATA fur sale in Globe along with 9 fox and a couple coyotes. Prices were low but for that sale we did much better than average so we were happy. This was a fantastic Family experience! Can't wait tell next season!!! 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted March 27, 2015 Don't trap here but did when I lived in Louisiana. Muskrat, Nutria, Mink, Otter. Just wondering how many cats you're allowed and what it's doing to the conservation with the amount of cats you got. Were they all from the same area? Nice pics as well.

Lance Report post Posted March 27, 2015 There isn't a limit on cats. We let kittens and many females go in the name of conservation. No they are not all from the same area. Arizona is loaded with cats and they produce quickly depending on available habitat and food. Records show that in the past trappers took Way More cats each year than they do now and populations stayed strong and didn't vary. Cats, like coyotes are a strong renewable recourse. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lance Report post Posted March 27, 2015 This was our highest selling cat. He was an average size male that stretched just over 39". He had a very white and wide belly with good spots on both front and back. He is the one in the middle on the table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good way to be branded a treehugger or PETA member, when it is so easy to find quota and population info on the web. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
