Austin Isn't Currently An Active Trapper.

He Is Now An Illusionist !!

The Warm Weather Seemed To Stimulate Creature Movement Last Night As walleyed finally Had Action At One of His Castor Mound Sets That Had Not Connected Since Nor-Easter #1 Blew Through.

Had A Nice Circa #45 lber in The Duke 8 X 10 330.

My Fourth Muskrat Trap at The South End Of North Sandy Pond Held A Wacky Colored Rat.

White Tail, White Feet, And Creamsickle Colored Fur Best Described As Blondish-Orange.

Walleyed Will Freeze This Weird Colored Rat Whole To Sell At The Herkimer Auction.

Couple Traps Later At The Beaver Cattail Feed Channel Revealed Signs Of Devastation with Stakes Floating and The 48" Coni-Stand Missing.

Peering Down Into The Murky Water walleyed Spotted the Pointed Tail Of A Trump-Size,

MASSIVE Male Otter Who Had Tried To Squeeze Through The Bullseye Circle And Ran Out Of Luck.

His Days Of Chomping Up Crappie In The Back Channel Are Officially Over.

By The End Of The Paddle, We had 17 Rats and The Otter Along With The Earlier Caught Beaver.

More Fur Than walleyed Wants To Skin In A Day.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

Nice walleyed

Good check, thanks for sharing.

We Can't Seem To Catch A Beaver Or Otter At Colwell Pond This Spring For Some Reason.

Usually, This Location Is Good For 6 To 12 Catches As It Is On A Dispersal Route Through Lakeview Marsh.

Caught Another Weird Muskrat Today With Pale White Tail And Feet, But It's Fur Was Normal Colored.

Ended Up With 16 Rats Today And Saw A Couple Dozen Swimming Muskrats While Paddling Around Checking Traps.

In Fact, In Just About Every Creek Or Water Body We Passed Today, We Saw Swimming Muskrat So It Is Safe To Say They Are On The Move Big-Time.

Oddly Enough, Our Floats Have Had Almost No Action This Spring.

Tomorrow, We Hope To String More Steel In A New Location As A Marina Owner Is Calling Complaining About Muskrat.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

get em,i'm jealous.your partners are lucky guy's.

Don't tell Old Baldy,he will be your partner next year.

The Skinned Rat Carcasses Are Piling Up Here In Jefferson County.

Thanks for sharing Walleye. Just wondering, do you ever encounter any decent Pike this time of year in or around your traps? They should be on the move to?

Again, thanks for the play by play. Always a good read.

At Times,

WE Can't Keep Them Out Of The Conibears.

Up to Circa 18 Lbs Some Years.

Just One Chain Pickerel This Year So Far.

way to go bob. if I get feeling better might set a few beaver sets next week

Started Raining This Afternoon As WE Set Greene Point Marina Where Spring Muskrats Are Allegedly On The Rampage, and Tormenting The Border Collie Who Patrols For Canada Geese.

After An Exhaustive Search, We Set 4 #160 Dukes In Den Holes along With A 330 For A Beaver Who Came Blasting Out Of A Large Bank Hole When walleyed Leaned Over The Gunwhale To Place Another #160 Just About Giving Us A Heart Attack, And Nearly Swamping The Canoe.

The Beast Will Pay For It's Crime If It Returns To That Spot.

Set Another Dozen #1.5 Stoploss & #160's At The South End Of The North Sandy Pond Where We Picked Up Just 9 Rats.

One Of Our Castor Mounds Sets at Upper Black Pond Produced A 55Lb Beaver Nicely Clamped In the Blake & Lamb #44 Long Spring And Waiting At The End Of The Drownding Wire.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

Mark ???

DID YOU HIT YOUR HEAD ???

Take It Easy For A Couple Of Days. I'm Not Fleshing Any More Beaver !!!

w

just cant sit around heart attack or not .hopeing to go back to work week from Monday only lost 10% of the heart. may come up to visit you next week. dont need to see the doctor till thrusday

wife just said no more trapping this year. so I guess the beaver on fisher rd will live to next fall

well now many today

WE Finished Skinning This Morning and Headed Out To Check Traps. Pulled 5 Beaver Sets On Colwell Pond Along with 7 Rat Sets......Skunked.

The South End Of North Sandy Pond Produced 20 Rats And A Two Year Old Beaver.

The Rampaging Rats At Greene Point Marina Must have Taken A Holiday Last Night As walleyed Captured Only One Lowly Muskrat Out Of Four Sets, And The Beaver Was A No-Show.

walleyed Upped The Ante By Conibearing Off The Other Den Hole On The Opposite Side Of The Canal So If It Returns Or Leaves Either Location It Will Earn Itself A 330 Neck-Tie.

Upon Returning Home, walleyed Discovered A Gifted Jet Black Beaver On His Porch, Presumably Left By The Beaver Fairy.

Just What walleyed Wanted This Afternoon, Another High Dollar Beaver To Skin.

Being As Black As It Is, It May Bring A Little Bit Of Extra Cash.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.

great catch keep it up

Walleyed you should be careful about posting your trap placement on a open forum.

Skinning Took Until 11:00AM And Then We Started Out With A 45Lb Beaver At The Upper Black Pond Culvert.

Picked Up Two Muskrat At Greene Point Marina And Then A Dozen Rats At The South End Of North Sandy Pond Along With Another Two Year Old Beaver In The Cattail Feeding Channel.

Tomorrow Is Forecast To Be Cold With Very High Winds So We May Spend The Entire Day Skinning And Putting Up Fur.

If Not, We Might Try To Sneak Out Some Traps In Some New Areas Protected From The Wind.

Thanks For Looking.

Stay Tuned.
