Monday Question of the Week

[RdFx]

Okay time to brush a little dust  and cobwebs off the brain cells.  Which preditor trapper  used a cows rib bone  as a regular part of his canine setting tools? This man  worked for the U.S.F.& W for over 40 years.

[Asa Lenon]

Using a bone makes me think he was a Western trapper, would he have been from California RdFx?  Ace

I know this one, but the name escapes me right now.

It's right there. :?

[RdFx]

Yep Ace the trapper was located and lived in California.  Two of  R.G.K. mentors were Floyd L McTimmonds and Frank Barmettlor both master trappers of canines and of other preditory animals plagueing the cattle and sheep ranchers.  
  The cattle rib bone was used  in adjusting things at set and  giving final touches.
  Also R.. kept yotes as pets to watch them and study them.  But as they got older  he gave them away to zoos or wildlife displays.

Ahem,  Roys first job was in  Elko county Nevada  as a preditor controller.  After that he went to  California and was under supervison of Floyd Mctimmons of the USFW svc...  Roy worked adjacent of a Milton Thompson who had  a verified record of 10,000  coyotes working thru the USFW svcs in 20 years .
