[quote=20scout]Decided to call it for the year gopher trapping. Cleaned traps and gear and put them away. Cubed gophers for coyote bait, will age some and freeze the rest. Counted and tallied my total for the year, 447 Pocket gophers and 73 striped gophers. Not bad for this summer.  That is one nice trapping rig!

The neighbor kid calls it my "GAV" or "Gopher Assault Vehicle". Looking forward to trying on coyotes this fall!

Knocked on doors yesterday. Got some huge tracts of land. 1 farm had 2 300 acre parcels we can trap on. I'm thinking I'm going to have to get help or for sure buy more traps.

That's not the whole story. I missed a large landowner yesterday. I hate doing business over the phone but I called him today. Guess what I got as much If not more ground from this guy.
I just called Duke and more traps are on the way. LOL

I just tallied up the ground on 2 of the farms I have permission on.
2,450 acres and the 2 farms over lap.
One land owner called me today to say He wasn't to keen on having me kill all the coyotes so he wasn't going to allow me to trap. But when I told him I was catching them and letting them go I was In like Flynn.

Filled some plastic bottles with dry DP bait so those are ready. Easy to haul and pour from.
scraping wax from trigger next.
Also wiring up 110s to stabilizers then wrapping each up to set fast for rats and mink.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Looks pretty well furred for Oct.
