Sure that was mange? Looked like it could be mites. Maybe show one to a vet? Or local bio?

Seems like fly tyers or crafters would be all over them for a couple bucks each.

There wasn't an offer on the unsold grinners. I offered the whole 33 for .50 cents each and he wasn't interested. I will be sending them to FHA.
I just hate tossing any kind of fur, but I think I will be thinking that over next season.

If we had extended checks on snares (or footholds after the start of cat season for that matter) I would 100% never set another 220 for them. They are the least efficient gear choice by far. But, for those with 8-5 jobs (all of the daylight hours), you really don’t have any choice but to run body grips. I would love to see this pursued with the DNR, or if they won’t listen, the legislature. It would be a big win for dogs. I was told by the DNR that they won’t support an extended check in an area because it would dramatically increase their use. So what? Why is that a problem? Certainly less of an issue with dogs than 220s.

I got rid of it. Picking on folks cruelly isn't something I'm partial to. I've had enough of it. Folks are fixing to go packing if I see any more of it, and no one is immune.

We have a white spruce at the end of our drive. It was cute when it was a baby but has been trending into the drive. It will be our tree this year.

I make the drowner as normal then add a snare lock with a cable loop on the stop side of the lock for the stake to go in. Make sure it can only slide to the top end of the drowner and the drowning lock goes to the deep end.

Most of the buildings on Ft . McCoy were still heated by coal in the winter of 90-91 when we deployed for the gulf War.
All in all, I prefer the smell of diesel exhaust and cigarette smoke.

Pulling a fifth wheel, I’d much rather stop at a Buc-ees than any Loves, Pilot, TA, etc. Never have to wait on a pump, or have to go to the back forty with the 18-wheelers. They are a destination stop and I certainly wouldn’t recommend stopping on the busiest shopping weekend of the year.

Started a week late, it has been two years,snow ruined half or more of my snaring locatios.
I only trapped on five small farms.
I caught 10 female and 5 male coyote, big sow coon and big sow badger
Five of the fifteen coyote had mange, so kept ten.
Third picture she was really mangy
Last two pictures I think those were mangy, and howling female was mangy
I caught 9 female and one male, then four males one day, a mangy female yesterday.

The boys begged me to set some traps, so we went out after dark and set two weasel boxes and three squirrel boxes. Not sure how they'll do, but I don't currently have time to run as many sets as we'd like to. Anybody else trapping the little furbearers yet? [Linked Image]

Thanks for sharing. Did I miss you saying you weren’t messing with any more grinners, for only a dollar a piece?

it's a tourist trap that sells gas , not a gas station

stopped at one in TN this spring , give me a Kwik Trip any day , that is a gas station with food and groceries and they know how to get you in and out without being late for work.

… she was no worse for the wear … got ice flowing through her veins… I got a suspicion she went that deep with intention of staying out there … wouldn’t have lasted too long as all she brought with her was a sack of cookies

Your wife had been by looking for him. He is a good kid, I told him what the deal was and sat down to wait. He was polite and finished his donut before he had another.

He still talks about the nice guy with the donuts, lol. Hed like to see you again sometime..

When I make set, I don’t just go to set. Walk past set after making so your tracks don’t just end at the set. Usually walk 20-30 past and make a small loop back to my tracks. Or like BTLowery says make it look like a bomb went off, big, big mess.
