I ended up with 72 reds.

I've caught 3 lynx so far and am still trying to get a couple more.

Nice pelts. Is that an average sized Lynx? That looks like a big fella.

Looks like the youngin is pretty proud.

Best wishes, Bill

Waidmannsheil Kusko, nice Reds. There must be quite a population of them in your neck of the woods. How much farther inland would you have to go to get into the Artic Fox? Nice pics, thanks for sharing, Dom.

[Kusko]

Thanks guys, I was wondering if anyone was still alive out there. :)

The three cats I caught have weighed 21, 26 and 33 pounds.

We have a pile of fox around here. You have to head closer to the coast (we are 60 miles inland) to get the Arctics.

A couple more..

I like the pics.

I have a daughter living in Anchorage and a Grandaughter and 2 Great Grand kids living in Homer.

I have visited Alaska several times. It is a beautiful place. I love salmon fishing. If gas doesn't get toooooo expensive I might swing up that way this summer. Have to see.

Best wishes, Bill

It is always a pleasure to see how well you do on the line each winter. I am glad you still share the photos here with us. The girl will grow up too fast, I have a picture of my daughter with a red fox and it was twenty five years ago now.

Nice pile of reds Kusko - love the pic of the kiddo hugging the fox :D

Didya get a good price for the red at auction or not? I've been reading prices are bad this year.
