How’d it look? Ours are 50/50 right now if you are going to see blue or not

A bit early. Probably needs ten days. Adults should be alright here now

First fox of the year.

Called 3 spots this morning. Called 3 coyotes and killed 2. Not sure what happened to the third he was coming in then just turned around and ran off. Good thing I didn’t have to drag this big boy

Put Duke to work retrieving beavers tonight

Just a big old coon checking with the kids today. Son had a coyote paw print in the trap bed but it didn’t mess with it.

Have fun fleshing that one

Took my two nephews along to check some beaver traps last night. We picked up two nice ones. I feel bad for the landowner. They’ve killed about a dozen big old oak trees along his pond.

Had some bunnies in the sets today. This one was half eaten and then buried.

Not sure what did it but it’s reset and there is cut bunny bait in all the surrounding sets. Be interesting check tomorrow to see what turns up.

I've caught many beaver but this is the first time I've got 2 in one trap

 

[Addicting]

Ordered some new scents for trapping and ordered a musk with some skunk essence. It was sealed in a bag, in a bag, then in the box. I feel so bad for the mail man. He set the box outside my house and I didn’t notice it. But, I kept getting wiffs of something in my garage. I found it last night.

That essence is so strong I’m sure my mailman has me on his hit list. To think of that in a car for several hours makes me cringe. It was so bad that even the box couldn’t be tolerated hours after it had been emptied. Lol

The boy went out and wanted to get some nest predators thinned down. Made his own sets and did all the work himself. Picked up a couple nice boars. I helped him with the skinning and now he wants to build a skinning machine. Hoping he has some tight chains in the morning on his check. I have to work so I’ll be waiting on some pics.

 

[sigpros]

First one he skinned all by himself
Had one tripped trap this morning put some fresh lure and bait in them this afternoon hopefully he collects a few more in the morning

Finally got a few sets out this afternoon. Always nice to find these while walking around





Had to make one calling stand at the end of the day. Picked up a bonus coyote

 

[rjthehunter]

Half a dozen sets out this weekend for coyotes. Nothing yet. Finally getting some snow making snaring a possibility in the coming weeks!

Just one big fox tonight

 

[brockel]

Picked up another fox tonight and a porcupine. Porcupine is probably worth more money than the fox

Planning to set coyote snares Sunday. Then run that line and do some coyote calling. Made up some 22-250 shells tonight so I’m ready!

I’d like to get some more snares out but the weather can’t make its mind up. 55 degrees tomorrow

Yes I have been holding off due to the warm weather. Not as warm as you but around 30. Never had issues with coyotes slipping but the birds are hard on bait when it’s that warm. Supposed to cool down starting Sunday here

The boy put on 2 predator sets. I’ve never trapped a predator before. He tried his hand at a hay set he watches Coon Creek Outdoors on YouTube a lot. I don’t know if they will connect or not but I hope they do.
