Yes they do, until the local populace begins to suffer from over zealous vermin, then suddenly the trapper becomes popular again. Our Trappers here in Montana are hanging on by a thread, we need more support but we also need someone to give us a game plan that will allow us to go on the offensive.

I agree with you that coyotes are very very smart. The ones around our place will immediately head for cover just at the sound of something out of place. They don't try to locate the sound, they just get out and fast.

Cougars are eating people because so much of the vegetation has been lost

BUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Cougars are some of the most cunning and efficient hunters in the animal habitat. Cougars are quite common in the U.S. They hunt small rodents, birds and smaller animals such as deer and elk. Cougars are not spotted very often due to their stealthy hunting skills. Cougars can be aggressive IF they are protecting their young or are extremely hungry.

Cat, the other white meat....

Mine is going next fall, he'll be almost six then, and he's ready to go right now.
I'm going rabbit hunting this weekend so I may break down and let him tag along.

I never get many rabbits anyway, and the fresh air will be good for both of us....
and mom will enjoy the peace and quiet.
