Haven't killed any this year. Neither have I been out hunting for them. Either I am to busy or to lazy you decide. With 2 little boys at home its tough for me to leave them in the evening and go hunting. Now trapping is a different story. Previous years I got from 2-10 yotes in a season.

No.  I have three confirmed called in this year but no shots taken and who knows how many unconfirmed.  I live in fox country but they are here just not a lot of them.  My time afield is also low this year.

I don't have a problem getting out of the house, just a problem getting out to hunt.  At least I was able to get fox for both of my boys this year.  They also both shot buck this year.  I will take that every year.

Foxtrot, did you ever think you nocked the numbers down along with the trappers that it may take a year for them to re-populate?  I know a lot of people say you can wipe them out and I agree with that but I do think you can slow them down for a couple years.

I have an unbelievable amount of predator hunters around me know that could care less about permission.  Just when you think your all alone.  NOT!

Trapping hurts predator hunters terribly.  8 of 10 fox are taken by trappers.  I stopped trapping a while back because I preferred hunting critters and I knew if I trapped em my hunting experience would drop.

I do agree the trappers thin them out pretty good.Something else I noticed this year was a huge increase in feral cats.In one case 6 were called in on one farm,what does that do to the food supply?

Yeah, I am sure that doesn't help matters.

See, us no good trappers do some good sometimes.  You won't find any feral cats in my area  ;D
