Little memory about Jim, I don't remember the year, I'd say 2009. Up until that point I hadn't ever caught 1000 muskrats in the winter. It was mid-February and I was sitting at about 915 rats for the ice season and had basically run out of good spots up here. Jim said come on down and trap the lake I'm on. Not many people would do that.
Rest in peace buddy.

The old cow pie set is deadly on these coyotes that have been pursued all winter by hunters and trappers!

Monday morning work factor in play.....the end crimp did not set in place.
Has happened with me on new traps.
Inline pull is your test...anchor swivel and lean back holding onto trap ( make sure you have your balance you may go horizontal PDQ)
if you are the size of Steve 49er dont go all the way into leaning

Have any of you guys used this method for putting up fur or tanning? Looking into getting a faster setup. Right now I have a portable washer that does well in cleaning the furs after fleshing and I shopvac blow out the furs to dry. However its been difficukt to get them to dry in a decent time. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Glad he never forgot where he got started. He seems to be a lot more relaxed when he’s on the trapline lately

50 years 1:30 a.m. my wife said someone is trying to get in the back door. The outside door leads to the basement and the second door leads to the inside of the house. I got up and loaded my 410 over under. I opened the door and put the barrel under his chin and cocked the hammer. I said get on your knees. The first thing out of his mouth was don't shoot me. Wife called the police. He as a drunk and did not know where he was. He got 30 days in jail for unlawfully entry.
That was 50 ago things were a lot calmer then. You just never know! Who is going to be next. Similar thing happened to my Ma back when I was a kid, dad was a long haul trucker so was gone sometimes weeks at a time leaving us home alone, one night ma heard noise from the living room so went to investigate and found a guy coming in the window, well she stuck dads browning A5 20 gauge about a foot in front of his face and asked him real politely if he was sure he wanted to come in he decided he didn’t dropped out of that window and beat feet out of there from the sound of it there were probably two or three of them I really miss that old browning if any of you ever come across a browning A5 20 serial number 824 let me know that was my dad’s

I've got a trail camera on where they are coming up. Again they are coming up not on my property (wish it was because very easy to set foot hold or a 330), then there are big rocks on the side of the banks. They walk along the rocks and take down the trees, drag them back the way they came. Fortunately the trees they are taking are not the best trees. We have lost hundreds of trees from beaver over the years and want to try to get them before they get further into the property. I'm hoping they work their way back to our pond before trapping season ends. There are about a dozen slides they used. I had them in the pond all of October, then a week before the season started they left. Now they are taunting me...LOL

The bank should show sign for sure. Old trails leading up bank, should have corn stalks/leaves on them. Field is chiseled so wouldn’t be any sign left there.

At least you are doing it involuntarily. Couple ladies I know stopped in New Years day. They had done the Polar bear plunge.

I should say, I have I think 10 MB 750s and one Sleepy Creek 4 1/2 that were my first wolf traps (used to have two 4 1/2s and a dozen 750s, set up like this, but three of those traps have been stolen) with 8' of chain attached and a chained earth anchor Ying of at about the 30" mark. After I used them a year I realized that chain attached to the trap was unnecesssary, and if staking the trap was a pain to deal with.

We have always had distemper killing our coon. Seems like the last decade instead of cynical it seems to stick around every year. Maybe a stronger strain or something. Our grays disappeared in about 2000. We have excellent habitat still, many more coyotes as grays disappeared. There are areas where grays and coyotes coexist but I would think some places with grays have large coon numbers? Maybe I’m wrong ?

Haha, nothing military wise will happen, but can you imagine if it would? Talk about turning the world upside down!
Suddenly, the enemy of your enemy becomes your friend, and who’s left all by themselves? That’d friggin suck man.
Be a cool movie though!
