I'm in the same boat Ruth. We can only hope. I have only been trapping for 7 years, but suddenly this year I have had 4 Yellow Horned, never thought it would happen. Shoulder Stripe would make my day. Was going to say make my year, but who knows what is going to turn up in the months remaining.

I used to do that Steve, why do I find it so hard since I retired. MOTHS might have something to do with it.
