Anybody ever listen to Ian Tysons song about the MC horses? It goes like this: I was having a beer at Stockman's out on the sagebrush sea........ Think this was what he was talking about? BTW this pic is near the old MC.  |

Got water?  ?? Do you use drowners there? I guess when you figure out how to keep those sets dry, you'll make more money than trappin.  All I got to say is "bummer"....... Looks good if it would ever dry up. |

I hope those big Graboid 'tremor' worms y'all have in Northern NV don't all drown.
Otherwise that a Hell of a nice sight for a vision of bobcats of the future. Chukar's too.

I thought trapping out west was all wine and roses. Dry ground, no mud, easy access?
Following drag trails in those conditions is miserable. Even dogs are really slowed down in finding coyotes when there are puddles everywhere in the sage.

ahh quit your complaining boys, we put up with that basically all the time back here in trappers hell. you get a flood once every 10 years and in 3-5 days it dries up and blows away ,and you think your world ended.

Reminds me of last May in Wyoming, drive to Wyoming roads closed 8 inchs of snow and blowing. Then two days before we could get off main roads. And a week to be able to drive over land on any roads that was not maintained.

Stupid question time: Is that normal flooding, as in it happens every year/season, or is it rare. Also, wouldn't that concentrate fur on higher ground where you could really lay into them
Since it's in the desert is it a dry flood? That question was not serious but,heck, you southern guys are always asking if it's a dry cold.

not a dry flood, just dry water. wayne, pups are suppose to come after the blizzards. but you know how that goes! wayne and I drove the roads with binocs and spotted several dens from the road ,quite a distance off that we likely we wouldn`t have seen with bare ground. was a few days before we could get back in to trap them tho. wayne saw 8 pups out on a den mound playing from at least a mile off that I had missed. we got all 8 and both parents too, about 3 days later when we could mush into them. what appeared to shut us down actually got us 5 or 6 dens the first day we went looking, a slipping and sliding as we went sideways and crawling down the main roads.
