Was planning to set out the small line again today but `ow looking at the weather just going to hold off till the first week of buck is past. How everyone else doing out there in this cold.

waiting to see how much rain we get tomorrow but i'll be takin off like a fat underpowered airplane in the next few days.the Oswayo was skim ice all the way across this morning and some thick edge ice that should all be goin away.

We’re supposed to have a wintry mix tomorrow and rain Monday I think I’m going to wait until deer season is over

i don't think i have the ability to wait that much longer but will hunt some everyday probably till my meat wants and needs are met.

Take a look at the size of this fox. Rather unusual coloring too.

There are a few muskrats left in PA.

he looks like he swallowed a coon whole-any fur farms around?

I haven't been seeing any muskrat sign.

got a call from a guy that wanted some muskrats gone asap. seems he went down to his ponds to do some maintenance on them. hit a rat run and rolled his 2 year old kabota into the pond.he had it out before I got there.so far I've got 5 .

paskinner he looks like a old one. Nice catch his rabbit killing days are over looks like he May of had a few before meeting that dbl long spring.

Must post as i do every year that the wife and i have lotsa room if anyone is in the area or would like to be.i'll share my huntin,fishin or trappin anytime.

I bet he's been munching pheasants. They are everywhere, and dumb as rocks. He was fat as a coon, and too big for my fox stretcher.

That fox looks like he might be a mix with some runaway ranch fox.

I suspect he was a runaway ranch fox. Oh well.

Nice catch PAskinner. That Red is a bruiser.

Wild Fox and Ranch Fox

Got a 50 gallon drum of wax dirt done up so far and 2 dozen Bridger num2 fully moddifed and 2 dozen double long springs ready to go soon as this first week of buck is over. Going to run a line till seasons end. Best of luck everyone and stay safe.

Those ranch fox are huge. I would not mind having those mixed in with local reds

i got my mushrat coni back in my pipe for a night till it all floods again.

I did a ride along with Nittany Lion & Dave Dressler today, on their Mink Line.
Had a great time with two good friends and top notch trappers.

They are certainly dealing with high water conditions as everyone in Pa. But they don't have time to whine about it, they just keep going. Line maintance is paying off this past week for them with some impressive catches under rough conditions.

Today, Jim & Dave had 3 Coon, 2 Muskrat & 6 Mink.
