Hern and Nittany,that is awesome and thank you.i thought i was the only one addicted enough to be out spot hopping for minkies.ever get to Potter county or would like to let me know.feel i'm blessed with quite a place here..

pcr2, I have a friend that has a cabin in Potter Co. Every time he goes there he comes back and tells me how much mink sign he sees. He doesn't try for mink, he goes there to trap beavers and bobcats and does some hunting.

i love it up here for sure,sounds like we are runnin about the same size lines.really looking forward to this weather change coming up.good luck and tight chains sir.

Here's a photo from my PA' coon line, back in the day.

them coons are real dark mister

Them are incidentals.

That one is eyeing up the little guys knee LOL.

Pa. guys, just a quick tip for free bait. $free.95
Works for any meat eating Pa. furbearer.

Deer season is in full swing.
Go to local Deer processor and ask for Deer Dust.
Deer Dust is the dust from the band saw; as saw dust is from wood
Processors throw dust away, it's scrap to them.
My local processor gives it to me, free, even though I ask to pay.
Deer Dust,a natural bait for Pennsylvania. Great addition to bait piles too.

No chopping, cutting or grinding your own bait. No mess.
Deer dust is very fine, paste like and ready to use.
Anti freeze can be added. Other ingredients can be added. Can use straight.
free.95

We are mainly land trappers but the daughter and I found a spot that looked "minky" so we set two pocket sets yesterday. Connected this morning. She was very proud. Even corrected her mother who thought it was a beaver lol

That's awsome pa trapper.

Hern, thanks for the tip. What if the dust is mixed with blood fat and hair on the floor? I believe my processor uses a sawzall. While we are on the subject, could a guy take a sawzall and some fresh venison bones and create his own, possibly more pure, pile of bone dust? Thanks

What if the dust is mixed with blood fat and hair on the floor?
I don't think it would affect it.
The Deer Dust I get is from the band saw table. Not the floor.
Steaks, Chops and Roasts are cut on the band saw. Hence; a pile of leavings (dust) of meat, bone, fat in small particles on the band saw table. This Dust get pushed off to the garbage can.

I believe my processor uses a sawzall. While we are on the subject, could a guy take a sawzall and some fresh venison bones and create his own, possibly more pure, pile of bone dust? Thanks
Sawzall is probably used to cut off legs. It's not for use for meat cuts. If so, find another processor for your Deer.
If you want to cut up your own bait with sawzall & create bait, have at it.
My point was to get away from the cut, chop, grinding of homemade bait. Point was to get FREE Deer Dust. No Mess, Ready Made, Natural Bait, Saves Time Cutting up Your Own Bait.

Chasing the pa dream of 50 rats came today I know a lot of guys don't think that's a lot of muskrats but for a mountain boy from pa like me 50 rats are hard to come by a lot of work to take those rats hope everyone is having a great season so far couple more weeks be after that tom cat how bout er boys

Wanted- Bobcat Carcasses

Dr. Matthew Lovallo, PGC Wildlife Furbearer Biologist is asking for Bobcat Carcasses from this season, for study & research.

After skun'n, freeze carcass whole.
If being skun by taxidermist, tell him to freeze it for you.
Then contact PGC for Dr. Lovallo's contact.
