I continue to be blessed with no mange. Have not seen mange on a canine here for close to 15 years or more- and then it was 1.

steve,
excellent stuff
in the first picture, do you have a set across the lane at the right side of the photo? looks like another good spot for a set to account for a wind shift or whatever.
no photos for me until after nov. 15

I don't have any from this year but here's a few. .... I call this one if looks could kill Here's a wet one Notice past the fog the difference in the topography from your locations, as they say around here "we's in the hills" One from winter Notice the difference in fur quality we have flat yotes don't we. greg

Steve, your pics do a great job of showing location. I like that. It looks like Buddy is earning his keep as a drag trailer. Here are some of mine from the last week. A double along the edge of a grass waterway. I tried out a couple #4 Dukes. They do the job, but I still like my Montanas better. A 40 pound dog. Thats good size for these parts. Trying for a tail grab. Double crop beans in the background. A good day for me. A lot of rain this year. One from this morning. My son Zach - starting to come into it. And here is my skinner hard at work. Woops- thats not my skinner, thats wheelie doing a skinning demo.

Dave said "Woops- thats not my skinner, thats wheelie doing a skinning demo" Nice pics guys Havn't had to skin any yet.....got em (21 since Oct. 16) in holding pens collecting black and blue fire fuel (used for big medicine at the set). It also gives the yotes (with bad feet) time to prime up more before they go under the knife at my convience.......... I do get attached to a few, and some are my buddy's, but they know business is business and once caught its just a matter of time (I have been know to give one or two a free pass after many months of service) so not all hope is lost......its like giving back to those that give so much..... Dave, you been catching any Stawberry Blondes?

Most of the crops are still in the field here, so it's pretty much lanes and waterways. These night photos don't show much for location. These are from the same location on different days.

Good eye Todd- and you are correct. Heres that set today: Farmer couldn't take drving by her any longer- but at least killed properly. Same set with a Duke as part of that double yesterday Four reds in as many days- thats a heck of a good start for me. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Buddy did a good job- enough to give me confidence he will trail a yote also.

After a few catches here with our wind, there are strands of polyfil waving in the breeze from the corn stubble... ;D ;D

Farmer was chopping corn stocks all around her, and didn't want her to "get away" for me. Knocked it on the nose so wsn't too unhappy.
thart loose polyfil makes a good visual!

Can you follow this drag trail? My son Steve. 40 lbs and gave quite a show. Good female also gave a performance Tripod Think I found one of my old chew when we could snare. Maybe a fatty tumor.
