Guess what I got to Skin
« on: November 23, 2003, 04:46:16 PM »
I was laying on my bed getting ready to go to sleep when my mom yelled for me. I went to the living room to see one of my good buddies standing there. He told me to come and look at what he had. I was expecting a deer or maybe a fox. He pulled a feed sack out and dumped out the first bobcat I had ever seen in the flesh in person. It was a 21 lb. Tom. A beautiful creature. He said his uncle had trapped it and gave it to him. I skinned and fleshed it for him and it is now drying. I am going to tan it for him also.

I plan on trapping a farm this Thanksgiving weekend that is full of canines, coons, and a few cats. I can't wait. After feeling and seeing that beautiful bobcat fur I want to catch one more than I want to breathe.  :)

You know Ace...there's NOTHING more tempting than money...ESPECIALLY when you're making a living trapping...I have to admit...I look'd at the cat..first thought was ...#$&*@ YEA!!!...second thought was OH..SHXX...when the cats are nice like this one was...and worth the $$$$...I'll put it this way...I do NOT set where I stand a high chance of catching cats...I DONT want to be tempted!!! I can honestly say that I have NEVER taken a cat out of season...and for someone who has obsessed on cats for over 20yrs.. :shock:
PS...I'm still using your lure for cats...it's  good as it gets...TOP shelf  for sure!!! I've got some stuff I've made for over 15 years thats KILLER on cats...but it costs as much to make as I can buy a comercial lure for!!....not much for a base...pure stuff..
