Lol.....the camera does'nt show the panoramic view of this area.It's far from golf course country.Rolling hills with lots of timber on the side hills & draws.There are at least 4 saw mills within 20 miles of me.Perfect deer country.Outfitters have leased all of the available land around me.

Most times I do prefer to hunt mornings but did'nt this time.It's all a part of the game.

Ah, the trappers vs. Hound hunters. We deal with that up here. I can respect the concern with dogs and traps as I run a bird dog. The traps that scare the heck out of me are illegal set 330's on land. You don't have very much time and they are very strong traps.

BowEd:
There's pros and cons to the houndmen vs. trappers issue.It only takes a few bad apples in the barrel to make it seem they all are bad.As far as 330's above ground if I spot em.They don't end up looking as tough as their supposed to be after I get done with them.

Yea, I guess the 220s are illegal on land now also as they should be. I use them underwater as they should be used. As much as I would want to destroy one on dry land if I saw it, I think I would call by buddy who is the game warden. If I take it or destroy it they will just do the same thing again. If he catches them that may stop them from doing that.

BowEd:
Yes 220s' used to be legal above ground here too.Don't know about them nowadays though.
That's good to call the game warden.Your right but I've seen them 330s' above ground with no address tag on them before too.Which is against the law.The easiest most used way of trapping around here in Iowa is the snare.Hundreds of them set along fence lines so all they have to do is ride by with their vehicle to check em.That's fine.I've had a hound get caught in them too but because he's been lead broke and all he does'nt fight it so it did'nt kill him.Fur men have to get along.Fortunately most of my hunting with hounds was done year round entering nite hunts so the traps etc. dangers for my dogs were lessened quite a bit.Heck most times I only shot 30 to 40 coon during hide season.All of my hounds did it just for a pat on the head.Shooting scads of coon to them don't make them any better.They're creatures of habit like most things.
