No John, but I do carry one, luckily (knock on wood) since I bought the tundra from Branden I've been on the pulling end of the line instead of the recieving smile

Well as some of you know my daughter went out this fall with me to check beaver sets and long story short she says to put a trap over there dad and by gollie she smacked a nice beaver.
Well finally got her to go out and check the ermine line with me (no marten but lots of dwarf albino gulos this year), so we walked in to a snare set and see where one just missed a snare by a whisker and at another stop see where one does a frozen pan dance on a #4 DLS
So she says dad " lets make a set over here" I let her pick the spot and hang a snare or two and Wall Laa!!! Lady Luck strikes again!!
HFT you called it see out trapped me in the cats!!!


I come a learning,not a knowing

yeah, now you know how some southeast guys check their traps.......chest waders and snowshoes... laugh


Probably how those bigfoot sightings got started....

More for a critter attractor/bait. I been out calling quite a few times this season tried mixing up calls also. I always call on fresh sign also. What are your thoughts.


Hey yt, a trick for ya. After that bucket of bait freezes up hard, turn it upside down and run a bit of hot water over the bucket until the wad of bait slides loose. Put a small stone or stick or something in the bottom of the bucket and put the bait wad back in. Because the bucket is slightly tapered it won't stick too bad, a couple whacks and it will slide right out at your set site.

Martenpine, how do you get those yotes to sit up and beg like that? smile

FO, that looks like a real nice fluffy cat! Gotta get my girls a little more in to it...

STT- I'll give it a try thanks, was about to bust my buckets off lol.

Frozen okie- Good Job on the Cat! And i think ya should bring her along more often, seems to be the Luck charm. Mine are already pleading to go the the bear stand this spring :-)

I made a trail on my old line today, alot of cat sign. I am thinking a second line since my new line is pretty slow going. Another chance at more wolves/cats.

guys thst frozen bait pail is a great idea im gonna try that , it would make the birds work for it and make lots of noise . when were putting up beavers we keep a rag on hand to wife up any grease and fat after a while they get to greasy and we thru them out then it doned on me that rag stinks like beaver grease so i started taking them into the bush and tying or wire them chest high on trees . if i was smarter i would use red rag and put it in lynx cubby then all the weasles could do is lick it not eat it .....

Creek dropped a foot overnight despite a little drizzle and I finally got my checks done. Here's a pic that proves you can't always judge a book by its cover...
Drowned rat?

Nope

Not bad!

Thanks! It sure didn't look like much when I got to it. He cleaned up real nice. That's the longest one so far this year by an inch. Weighed 24 lb. My longest ever was 67"... doubt I'll beat that.
