Couldn't tell you haven't put up a grinner in 10 years use to have a friend who took everyone I'd catch but he no longer wants them don't blame him.

Saw a buck chasing a doe this am.
Full moon, hunters moon, peeks at quarter to 1 this pm.

this moon goes away,the deer and i will play.

You’re hammering them!

Hammering possums lol I think I'm going to 5lb pan tension.

if you build it,they will come.

That's for sure.

That third one looks so clean and light colored against that dark dirt catch circle. How did you keep it from being a mud ball?
Jim

all rock underneath him i bet,shocked how dry it is here for as wet as it has been.still starting with peat though i think.

Pcr2 is right nothing but rock. Most of my locations are old strip jobs or gas well roads very rocky stuff, so i have to predrive most my earth anchor holes with a 8lb sledge and harden spike I made. Was very blonde after a good bath. I also started with peat this year and if not in old strip job ground some wax dirt as well. Ground isn't as bad as I thought it would be with all the rain top layer doesn't sift for crap. I just walk off 20 ft or so and dig down to some what decent dirt to sift over top my set.

Well nothing today in the sets.

Possum fur can be really pretty. I kept some of the nicest ones last year and got em tanned.

Possum, Possum and more possum! They are driving me up the wall!!! I swear the devil created them just for trappers!

Always gotta thin them out every year for the first week then the good fur starts getting caught.

I'm going back to 5 to 6lb pan tension since I'm only targeting coyotes but I swear they know there's a trap there and jump up and down on it just so they get the chance to see a trapper cry lol.

I think a fellow could do good on coon , just by getting roadkills, seems there's one ever 100 yrds...

I like the looks of the one in your last pic Hammer. Is he that blonde or just the way the pic came out?
