Here is something you don't wanna see after freeze up

Nice pictures and catches

I’ve never seen these warm of temperatures in December before , it’s been going above freezing for over a week. It’s also been raining which has my trails beat up something terrible. This warm weather has caused the fisher marten and mink to really move and investigate sets. Seems to have caused canine and lynx to shut down though or maybe I should say they have no reason to follow any trails because they can go anywhere with ease.

Son caught first raccoon we ever caught south on our farm in a fisher set.

Jason, was the raccoon caught in a box off the ground? Looks like you're having a good season!

Pmbna yes it was a box on a leaning spruce about 5’ off ground, trap was a 160 Belisle. I have heard of a few coons just south of us being caught but this was our first one. They must be moving north with warming temperatures.

Came back from another good run got 1 fisher 5 marten a mink a coyote and some weasels. going to start pulling marten line soon so as to not over harvest.Still catching juveniles and males but also picked up a prime female which I don't like.

Some end of day chores when opening camp

Thawing out the fur to get my traps off and wrap in newspaper then bag to transport down home

Ghosts of trappers past....

Here a pic I took of fur I was working on before I went on last trip

Still hunt what?

Nice catch of fur.
