Yea, used my footholds, had to modify the dog to make the trap fire quicker. And, of course...the dog food to see what that would do to make it pause and circle the trap. Never wouldve guessed that dry dog food would do much but its what i had on hand....ill have to remember that ha

Probably not right now. Bern too warm, hides probably already blue. Ill try to dry it out and tan it but i expect the hair to fall out and not be worth even keeping...but, good practice and id hate to waste it if it is saveable.
If you sell them to a trader just dried theyre usually about $25 for grade A. If you tan them and pretty them up and make them look not natural you can sell them on etsy or some shit for like 125. But i doubt this ones worth anything, too late in the year.

Bear attacks in CO!
A lady near Durango was killed while walking her dogs. The dogs came home but not her. Boyfriend went out looking and found her body chewed on with hair and scat all around. Department of wildlife found and euthanized a sow and two cubs that hounds tracked from the kill.
And I also just saw a bear jumped a backyard fence and mauled a dog here in Granby. That’s where I work!
I live in Fraser, higher elevation so bears show up later, but either way I think it’s time to put the bird feeder away.

Maybe it's the vaccine talking, but Colorado is so beautiful in pictures. I need to visit that great state and see it in person.
When i do, i will make sure to ask for early check in.

not sure about lions, but estimates are that there are more captive tigers just in the US than there are in the wild
