Well most of us are down to about 1 month of trapping season, and a lot of us are getting burnt out physically and mentally, myself included! There is something you can do about it and make that last big push before the season ends. Personally I do a couple things, first, take a day off from trapping. Get some rest and watch some trapping videos. I like watching “Trapping Spots” by Jim Ball, but any of your favorite trapping videos will work. Go to your fur shed and look at your pelts and ask yourself if you’re happy with your catch! I would bet that most of you still have the energy for a few more cats! Remember that February is going to produce some of the finest pelts of the entire season. Good luck to you all that made the decision to push harder than you have all season! Take care…

Trappers who want to trade, CLEAN FRESH FROZEN cat carcasses for lure at the Utah fur sale, please message me and let me know what lure and how many carcasses you have. I’m trading a 2oz bottle of lure per carcass, or $10. I will be in Nephi on Saturday morning 8-noon February 8th in Nephi. And please no “body shot” carcasses, it destroys the grinder! Thanks trappers, see you in Nephi!

Trapping with kids! You cannot run as fast but it’s a blast. Dawson has no fear of these cats.

Out in the hills doing a Bobcat clinic today with Chase S. from Idaho, and we had 4 jets flying their low level route right over the top of us. These guys are loud!

It was brought to my attention today that one of my post was misunderstood by a few of you! I reviewed the video and my talking really didn’t match the message I was trying to get across! Some of you left bad comments and one of you took it even further than that. The video was checking traps from the road with binoculars, and BE SURE! The point I meant to get across was to make sure you don’t have a cat in your trap. If you are not 100% certain, walk over to the set and see either the trap or the cat! I showed in the video the brush limbs that looked like a cable and what I thought was a cable with the binoculars, but was not, indeed there was a cat there. Sometimes my brain and my mouth go different directions when filming live, and I should have reviewed the video before posting it on Facebook.

We should have over a foot of snow on the ground by now! This is a good season for trapping in my neck of the woods!

I have been noticing that the locations that I’m taking cats are at water! Be it stock ponds, springs, water catchments. In my part of the country it’s warm and dry for January and the prey animals are hanging closer to the water sources.

I don’t see this everyday!

This she cat and her kitten are getting dangerously close to my sets. I don’t like turning lions loose by myself!

Did another cat clinic today with a couple of experienced Nevada cat trappers. These guys really know what they’re doing when it comes to trapping bobcats. To me the satisfying part was when Justin turned to Dallas and said I know exactly what I’m changing when I get back to Nevada. Even though all we caught today was this young cat, these trappers left understanding “stacking location features” and how we get our traps in front of a lot of cats! I had a lot of fun sharing with these two gentlemen! I think Dallas was hiding from the camera…

I love these small washes as much as the Bobcat does! This wash has had cats traveling in it. I’m finally setting a trap line since the Christmas vacation!

Sorry about the wind, but a little Skunk Gel goes a long ways. There was no romance on the trap line this day! The smell burned my eyes for at least 3 hours. I seriously thought about cutting that part of my jeans off.

I had the privilege of doing a cat clinic with Trakin today. I love it when halfway through the clinic and the student has one of those moments when things start to click! I could see on his face that stacking location features just hit home with him. He understands what he’s going to change as soon as he gets back home. A small investment is going to make a big difference in his catch numbers! Thanks Trakin for coming and best of luck to you!

If you don’t have the time or resources to attend one of our cat clinics, you can go to our website, westerncatsinc.com and buy one or all 3 videos, download them and watch today! There’s nothing like the one on one experience of the clinic, but a video is the next best thing! They have been discounted from their original price!

I’ve had a bunch of inquiries about my cat clinic and instead of answering them individually I am going to post all the information here! First off the clinic is a 1 on 1 clinic, only you and myself. The clinic is on one of my trap line’s either here in Alton or somewhere in southern Utah depending on the time of year. The clinic takes between 4 to 6 hours to complete. We cover all aspects of trapping the bobcat, including scouting, stacking location features to create the general location, set location, the walkthrough set, trap line management and tips. Most spots are filled currently but depending on the weather I will have some openings in late January and February. The cost is $300 with 50% down when booking. If you’re interested or want more details please message me. Thanks.

Western Cats wants to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We will see you all in January! Take care..

Common name Red Cedar. I know I shouldn’t have posted these two videos, but a couple people on here think I don’t know the difference. I blocked both of them, I wonder if they can still see these videos? Hum..

Utah Juniper tree! Some keyboard cowboy thinks I don’t know the difference.

Here is some unsolicited advice on air mass movement, and using Skunk Gel from WCI.

A short video for our past WCI cat clinic students! Or at least they should know what I’m talking about! BTW, this was not the only set I had placed here. I had one on the small wash in the food plot, and one below this location on the eco-verge trail. This is the only cat I caught at this large general location.

When checking traps from the road with binoculars, be sure!

There is never a dull moment when I’m trapping with Dawson! This kid has no fear!

Trapping public ground so I have to hide my sets a little better!

Cats hunting the ridge line!

Major ground shrinkage! Things may appear larger through binoculars!
