Coyote Pup

Ryan Kraeger

Saw a coyote pup in the field again.

Time to bait the trap.

Right on a coyote trail, with a chunk of pig liver. That ought to do it.

But it didn’t. Something tripped the trap, and then dug underneath the back of the trap and pulled the liver through the bars piece by piece.

Sounds like we need to set up Papa’s game cams again.

"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought." From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
