That year I was "rattin," my brother helped as well as my dad. Hell of a haul, best we ever did. Two lines at the same time, usually had 6 to 9 rats a night for a good long while. Twernt many others tapping that year I guess.
Cain't tell you to much bout the cat's here, the one's I've run into caught me first. Guess I'm settin up wrong, Did see a big one though, I was on my deer stand and she walked right out infront of me. BIG was my first impression, darn thing was well over 40lbs, that one looked awful sandy colored. I've seen some real white orange'ish ones, clear lines, beautiful animals. Sneaky little buggers, I haven't seen one come out in the open yet. We've had an outbreak of them lately. The last couple of years put a real hurtin on the redhawk population, cut them down near 80+%. I think that's why there's so many cat's.
