I've been done muskrat trapping for over a week now. I got 31.

Thats more than our entire county lol. Our rat populations took a dump and we dont have any anymore. I am starting to think that our animals are moving here but just not on land. Theres alot of tracks on the ice in the creeks. And their notwanting to work sets

First coyote of 2018

How cold is it there pa k9 trapper?

-2 this morning

Send me a pm if you don’t mind. Thanks

Congrats on your first dog of 2018. I have yet to do so. Hoping things change with this little warm up. Its gone from -20 to 10 in 2 days

Where is everyone? Anyone catching stuff still?

Caught a few coyotes the past few weeks but temps skyrocketed and everything seemed to stop. Temps dropped back down so hope things are on the move again!

Temps went up here and I took a break for a week. Temps droped and 4.5 in of snow. Lots of wind making drifts too. Back at it again and got 2 dogs so far. Busted a big drift with my truck today and almost got stuck, but made it out.

It kinda stalled out with this warm spell here, I am going to pull traps this weekend. I need two more yotes to make my goal, and I might give it another shot later. If it stays thawed here I am going to set some beaver traps.

I wish I knew where there were some beaver and I had a way to get there.

Whats your goal?

10, and we don't have that many beaver either, I only know of a few colonies that aren't already trapped and they all have a good walk to get to them.

That good walk,is probably why those beaver are available to trap.
The harder one is willing to work--the more beaver you are able to trap.
Good luck and enjoy.

I hope you make your goal! Good luck to ya. Im at 17 dogs right now. Got an awesome one today and sold it for $50. Someone wants to mount it. We got some beavers, but not like up in minnesota or up north. I know some colonies, but am too lazy to go after them lol. I will probably do it to keep permission tho. Our farmers HATE them

First one is the taxi yote

Wow! 17 dogs is impressive, plus all the coon. Are you putting up all of them?

Def not all the coon. Im going through pullin out the bigger and nice boars. Think ive put of around 50. Our dogs got some bad mange. Threw 3 out already. Some of them have mange just bad enough to where the crotch is pink but the fur is fine. I skin them and sell them green. Then the rest of the good yotes i finish. My totals so far is 102 coons 17 yotes 2 cats 3 rats 2 skunks and 18 possums

Heres one my friend got the other day. I havent got one that bad yet this year, but its a nasty disease. Saw one last year that didnt have a trace of hair on it. It was way worse than this one
