Mine will stay set until season ends, mating season is amping up here

 

[Doug B.]

Im about 25 Miles away so it just sucks.

I have driven that far, or even farther, for paying jobs. I'm glad I have farmers here that appreciate my trapping that is close. They usually compensate me some at the end of the season that makes it worth my while. The thing is, I would probably do it anyhow just because I love doing it. Besides, what am I going to do with all my traps if I'm not putting them in the ground?

Christmas everyday for me...but really like the snares in all the rain and mud

I do it to a point like that on some properties, but ultimately hope to increase my grandkids getting something

Caught two more beavers in the same two traps that I had them in Tuesday.

Then I had another red fox where I caught the other one Sunday. This got turned loose!

Good job Doug! Is the back leg mangy or does the moisture just make it look that way?

It didn't look like mange. It was laying on that leg when I drove up. It may just be matted where it's so wet.

I only had one large female otter this morning. All my traps are about washed out now!!!

You on the water trapping Doug. I’d hate to be amphibious in your area.

 

[sportsman94]

Doug, you may want to get rid of those belisles and pick up some dukes. Looks like that one was a little slow. I’ll take those defective traps off your hands once you get your dukes in. Congrats!

 

[WOODIE13]

Half way through checking the line, had to warm up, wind is brutal. Did catch the bobcat in a blind set and coyote in a snare. Time to reset

Good catching woodie! All I caught was this f150, but it was a full pad catch

I had this one set at a crossover where the were going from the creek across to the river with a toilet between them. I was hoping they were going to be going toward the river. This one didn't which is why it was caught so far back. If it had been a Duke it may not have slowed it down any!!!
