BigSlams yote trapping

Sons a bitches worked my dirt hole last night and my fuggin trap was froze. I reset it with some dry dirt and peat moss and topped it off with a yote turd I found about 2 miles away. Put more bait in the hole with some llama fur. Hopefully they'll be back to work it again.
I walk about 2 miles every day checking snares and traps. Haven't had much luck lately but at least I have this nice view. Had a fuggin yote miss a snare today.
Caught my first grey fox this morning. There aren't many around here at all. I was coming down the hill and I saw something flopping around in the snare and I thought I caught a hawk. Got closer and I about shit my pants. Called my buddy up that has given me a bunch of tips on snaring and he was cool enough to come out with his catch pole. He's been trapping for 40 years and hasn't seen a grey in 5-6 years. Definitely the highlight of my crappy trapping season!

Yep, as much as I'd love to have a full mount of a grey fox I don't think I could of killed it if it was in season. Maybe if there was more around but there isn't that many.
I used to call them at night and that was the absolute coolest thing. How much do you think he weighed?
I couldn't tell ya, I've never trapped a fox before so I don't have anything to go off of, if I had to guess I'd say 10-12 pounds? My buddy said he would call them at night also and they'd come in growling sometimes, said they'd make the hair on his neck stand up Lol.
