[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2216920, member: 91783"] Several years back I had all of my equipment set out for control work on a large ranch . I got in a rut and was running it using the same roads going the same way in and out on every check . I thought that I was doing a pretty good job and had made quite a difference in the lamb crop numbers in a couple of years time . I had gotten some good numbers of coyote , fox and bob cats taken several dens and was pretty happy with myself . Then one day I decided to run my route back wards as it had been awhile since I had done that . I got near the end ,which would have been the beginning if I were doing it the way I had been doing it , I looked over to my left into a small draw only to see some fox pups setting on the den hole watching me go by . They were probably 5 or 6 weeks old and I had driven by them all that time not being able to see into that draw from the direction that I had let myself get into the habit of traveling . I had gotten lax and hadn't been looking for tracks or doing things differently I had let myself get comfortable with what I was doing and it was time for me to receive a wakeup call . I believe there is a saying about having egg on your face that fit this situation well . My mistake and a lesson learned they weren't close to any lambs but could have been . I changed my ways then and there . [/QUOTE]
