Red Fox

Chris trapped this fox on Wednesday. The cold weather has sure got the animals out and about. This is the first red fox he has ever trapped. They aren't worth very much money but the coat is really beautiful.

Second cat of the season

Trapping has been a lot harder this year now that we have Huntley. At the start of the season Chris would take Huntley while I was at work, quality father daughter time. Now that it is colder he had to improvise. Most of his traps are set up with bright orange flagging. If the trap goes off the flagging moves out of view. This way he can take Huntley to check traps and never have to leave the truck unless he got something. The strategy worked pretty well for this pretty cat.
