That cat was in an oversized dirt-hole, that had a lot of eye appeal. It was lured with Paul's Cherry red promotional lure and one of my baits I make myself. One of my cats from last year was in a scent post, all the rest were in dirt-holes with some eye appeal.

Heck ya! thats cool. We dont have big populations of rats around here. I have only gotten 4 so far, and thats my best. I have herd people saying that some of the chemicals have killed off our rats but im not sure.

the rat population would be good around me if I left them alone but I trap every last one of them when more move in. my best year was 28 though although my best day was 15 with 9 in 1 colony trap.

Things have been really slow here too. We’ve got about 6 inches of snow on the ground right now. All I’ve caught in the last week was a red fox. We are supposed to get a warm up tomorrow so maybe I’ll get things back in buisness.

Stuff has been really really slow here latley. I think its the weather cuz its not supposed to be 50 degrees in december. We got a front movin through tomarrow and the highs are only going to be the low 30s so this should make the critters move. Has the weather been like this in your guys areas??

They're moving here but not working my sets. I'm going to change and move some sets here over Christmas, hopefully it will pick back up again. Cable restraints and beaver come in the day after Christmas too.

Last couple of days I've caught 4 more foxes, a coyote and skunk and a couple of coons. Last night I had two reds, both in snares. First time I've caught something in a snare. I got a couple of beaver traps on a big swamp at my uncle's farm. Gonna go check those now and set a few more.

The cold has got them moving here. They just started working sets this week, although I've been missing some, still managed to snag two. The one was very big and I found 4 shotgun pellets in it while I was skinning. Hows everyone else doing?

Too cold to be trapping here lol. We have a lot of Domestic pets running around and it’s been around -15 with the wind chill every night here. Only thing I’ve been catching lately is beaver.
