Good morning, -2 here with warming and snow coming over the next 36 hours 3-5 inches. Have a good one

Wow! That is a truly terrifying moment. Thank you Lord for protecting our fellow brother in Christ.

Bacon grease and peanut butter


Been catching doubles lol

That is a beautiful area to snowmobile Newfox, love it up there! I try to avoid Tug Hill when I go up, I had a sled give up on me on the Stillwater Reservior one trip, and it was still a great trip. Glad to hear the snow is holding up ferda clubs and local businesses.

Same here. 3 per property…….no more, no less…… …..lol

Thought I'd share this tidbit...caught an adult female coyote yesterday in a set I had put out in late September. Local livestock guy contacted me
with coyote issues and wife's poultry and sheep depredations. Since it was not fur season I put in a Jake Trap and make a flat set near a pile of old bales.
The set caught 'possums and 'coon and then cooled off...no action. We had a bunch of rain, snow, freezing temp.s, then more warm up with rain and the
more cold. I had other sets in at the property but just continued to check this sleeper set and made sure it was still in working order. I don't use waxed dirt/sand.
I use dry grasses and line trap's jaws with it and then blend. I make sure trap is not set in a low spot so drainage is decent. It is not ideal but it has worked well for me.
I believe TIME is a crucial part of trappers success when making our sets. In this case, there was no issues of pulling traps up and moving as it was paying job and
close to the house. So many times trappers put in great looking quality predator sets and have to pull them in a few days never having the opportunity to see IF they would
ever have produced. Thought I'd share this as at times we start to doubt our abilities because of a shortage of time when in actuality the set could have produced our intended critter.
Good luck.

They work great and have their place, but the easiest way to get them around here is to just set where they’re going already. Just a trap and maybe a stand required. They’re good for trapping off the road, but if you gotta haul your stuff in, you’ll be sweating for some easy beaver. They’ll catch on to them pretty fast too.
Here’s a template you can fool around with….
Keep in mind that they’ll crawl over from the back and sides. Some guys build a big blocker wall and it ends up looking like a fortress out of Game of Thrones…..lol
I made a few with scrap 2x4 and some 1.5” blue insulation sandwiched in the 21” hatched areas.

Happy Birthday and safe healthy days ahead and tight chains !
