Trapping Thread 2024/2025

[Nameless Range]

My son and I went out and set in a couple muskrat huts this afternoon. Having never opened one up before, it was fascinating to see inside. Cut a whole with the ax, got the trap in the cavern, and closed it back up.

5° today and -12° tomorrow. It’ll be fun to go check.

Cold weather can be hit or miss for coyote snaring. We have had -40 for the last couple days. Checked today and picked up two but was so close to a good check. Had four refusals damn full moon. One good coyote today and one with mange. All repaired and ready for some more

Been awhile since I have chopped huts open! Have fun!

Well my son called this morning very excited. Dad I got one! I can see it bouncing in the pasture! He finally trapped his first coyote!. He did these sets all by himself and has been running them for 12 days. Getting up early running the line in the dark before school. He used a hay set with an MB 550 Hiawatha valley and Cavens violator 7. I am super proud of him. I have never trapped a coyote so he has beat the old man. I am sure this will be the first of many. He is getting it tanned a real nice female. Wish I could of been there with him

There are a crazy amount of rabbits where I live. Just set a bunch of snares so hopefully will get something soon!

Hopefully you got the huts all closed up good so they don't freeze in!
Man, we trapped a lot of rats during the winters in college. Had a lot of fun doing it.

Must be getting the coyotes thinned off the one bait I have as I picked up two foxes there today

Beautiful foxes, they really look nice in the winter with a white backdrop.
