Boy got a mangy pup the other day. Doubt the little fella would have made it thru winter. He was skin and bones with about 1/2 his fur.

Just scraped my final beaver. Had about 75 leftover from spring and the few I shot this fall. Sure glad to be done
It’s been tough going here. For some reason no otters have come through yet and all of my eggs are in the otter basket right now.
I’m pulling my traps here tomorrow and loading up to head up to northern MN next week. I built some bobcat boxes last weekend and I’m going to spend 8 days trying to catch my first cat and/or fisher. I may set otters/beaver traps if a good opportunity presents itself and I’ll be jigging for walleyes in the evenings.

12 snares set on my coyote bait today and a fresh road kill fawn dropped off. Looks like I will need to bring a few more snares with me next time. I’m already looking to checking them in a few days lol

Checked my snares a little slower than I hoped for. 2 coyotes out of 12 snares. One good one with mites and then shot a third on the way home. The shot one has some nice colour on it

Eastern KY trapping started today. Put out a bunch of dogproofs to start getting the possums and raccoons and a few coyote sets. Will put out a few more each evening while I walk the trapline. I enjoy this time of year. My Brother in Law got a really nice Bob last night. Has been slaying the raccoons. I’d like to know how many turkey nests are saved with each nest robber trapped.

My first bobcat after two years of trying.
I’ve gotten a lot of guidance from Nunyacreek about trapping in general and in particular bobcats.

Looks like some good spots on that one
Was out resetting everything after the freezing rain and decided to make a calling stand. I have called coyotes for almost 23 years now and today I called in my first bobcat that I know of. There isn’t much that gets me rattled anymore shooting at an animal so I’m blaming the extreme shaking I had on account of me sitting in a snow bank 
. I haven’t been that rattled in a long time. Cat came flying in to under 50 yards tail twitching and everything.

That looks so much darker than ours here. That’s a beautiful fox.
It’s been a tough trapping trip so far. The weather has been warm with rain/sleet/slush. Not much has been moving but I did find a few cat tracks the day I set before it warmed up. No fisher tracks at all. Temps plunge tonight so hopefully that helps.
I did finally get on board today with a big otter.
On the plus side, the fishing has been decent in the evenings.
