Left for Hays Thursday night, watched wrestling until Saturday afternoon, then to Little River for a Basketball game. Got back in town late last night, then headed to Udall this morning to return a PoleVault pole. Just barely having time to walk a little once every couple of weeks. Should have disced firebrakes today instead of looking for antlers.
The wife said she saw 2 in the yard plots this weekend that still had both sides. 3 of the ones I found today had bright blood on them. Good luck to ya when you do get to go out.

He was home that day and asked if I could pose it for a couple pics. Tried 2 spots. Thing must weigh 5 lbs. Feel bad we supported the deer farm industry :( Chris colored it with potassium permanganate and did a nice job.

Nice buck. We're stilling seeing antlers on heads.
How was the release? Cats make some neat (wicked) sounds when you get close to them.
Here’s a few videos. It was the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve had in a while!

Lol, you move pretty quick when things get hairy!
I like the bucket idea. I just throw my coat over them and pin em down with my knee. I've often thought that there might be a better way.

@buckdeer1 It was trying to be a yote set, but since I've not (yet) caught a yote, it might be generous to call it that. I've got a few sets out. This one wasn't according to any specific set I've seen. I used the tractor to remove a packrat nest, and dumped it at the edge of the trail. After doing that, I thought it would be a point of interest for the predators to investigate. A branch happened to fall so it was extending into path. I figured as they investigate the pile, the branch would encourage foot placement in a specific place. So I put a trap in the spot and smeared some bait on the underside of the branch. I was planning on doing a dirt hole or trench set in this place, but happened into this. The set had been there a few weeks and I had freshened up the bait recently.
@Catscratch I watched youtube videos on several methods before settling on this. some use a catch pole and stretch them out away. Some use a piece of plywood as a barrier. It was my intent that the barrel would remain in place and the cat contained until I was standing up and chose to tip it. But once it pulled its leg in, the cat tipped the barrel, and it was all I could do to get a few steps away.

Worked too bad wasn't a couple weeks ago.I don't trap much but when I trap coyotes I use an old cow or deer bone and set so they will walk up and pee on it like a dog.have caught both cats and coyotes on these.Our local trapper makes a lure called predator potion and don't some real amateur utube stuff but catches alot of critters a year and probably runs one of the biggest lines in Kansas
