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

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.

Where did Snowys thread go ???

Only problem is that the photo is of Seth Kinman....

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.

Im looking forward to the site getting back up and running. I sure enjoy chatting with fellow trappers, and annoying Iowans is always a good time. So, the get together is the weekend before Columbus day?

hawks overhead and the dogs nose needs to be about 6 inches from the bird before the go up

They look nice, but $400.00 for a come-along? NA-DA

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.
