In a perfect world, SAM could lobby Gov LePage to work with the Trump Administration to resolve this non-sense of an endangered specie. The Wikipedia definition of endangered specie is as follows; " An endangered species is a species which has been categorized to become extinct"

Today's first run of the whole line netted a large weasel, with some brown still on the back
Alex How often will you be running your line?

Alex How often will you be running your line? Running a 3 day check right now because I have some sets in organized towns. Once it gets colder I will go to a 5 day check in just unorganized towns. A 3 day check is hard right now with school, but I'm making it work. Alex

Seems like it should be a good year for otter. Sign is plentiful.
Alex Alex, what sign are you seeing with otter? With the exception of toilets and crossovers, otter do not leave much sign.

 Sorry I don't have a picture of the box I caught him in. Nice catch with the coni pans. It is something new I am trying. The trap is a victor 120. The box is a standard 4x4 opening wooden box. Alex
