Thank you, tis a shame I never carried a camera but a few days in my later years of trapping and hunting, I wouldn't have the few pictures that I have if it wasn't for the urging of my wife.Sixgun wrote:J35nut wrote:I have spent a lot of time in a bug in the SW desert.

There is a story for each of those pictures, not so much about the animals but the area's where they were taken.
If anyone would like to read them just say so and I will type them up.

Great pics! I had a couple of bugs "back in the day" and it was amazing how much traction they did get. Dang god vehicles that could be fun to drive.J35nut wrote:I have spent a lot of time in a bug in the SW desert.

The picture with the deer was the first deer I killed with my .358 Win, iron sights., it was the last day of a four day season in Oct, I had a job I had to finish so didn't get to hunt the first 3 days .Merle wrote:J35nut wrote:Thank you, tis a shame I never carried a camera but a few days in my later years of trapping and hunting, I wouldn't have the few pictures that I have if it wasn't for the urging of my wife.Sixgun wrote:J35nut wrote:I have spent a lot of time in a bug in the SW desert.

I generally made eight set's at this location, and then a few miles further at another pocket I would have a few more set's and so on until I had a 150 sets out in good location's. The Mtns in the background are part of the Santa Rita range. The picture faces pretty much due East.
My main target animal was the Bobcat.
Rock pile cats or as I called the real rocky area's "CAT FACTORIES"
Bobcat doing what they do best
At the far end of the canyon in the photo where it narrows down is a spring and that whole canyon narrows down to about six feet wide and twenty or so feet deep with solid rock walls that have Indian paintings on them.
Across the canyon from the bug I had a couple of 10x12 inch gongs set up one at 120 yrds and another at 320 I used to shoot at in the evening . One year the evening before opening day of deer season i went up there to check my zero and a friend from Alaska had come with me, I laid down in prone and took a shot at the 320 yrd gong and rang it, but there was a nice whitetail buck bedded down right below it that I hadn't seen and it jumped up ran about 50 feet and stopped, I was watching it thru the scope and my friend was saying shoot shoot and I sat up and said nope season don't start till in the morning, my friend just shook his head and said you are hard core.

I have no idea, you would have to check some of the fur auction sights to get a idea.Merle wrote: Nice! What are bobcat pelts bringing these days?
I had a similar experience but I was just a passenger in a Blazer up on Greens Peak in NE AZ.Merle wrote:
I put adapters on mine & used Chevy mud/snow tires - only got stuck once. I was going cross country thru a field & discovered that the snow had covered a gulley. When the tires don't touch the ground you don't move. Needed a farm tractor to get out that day.
