Here is a pic of my latest catch. I also caught a Badger using Reuwsaat's "Ornery Badger" lure & "Deep Creek" Bait, a skunk, and a rat in a Victor #1 ls but I could not post the pics sorry


I caught this coon by both hands using dry dog food pellets and Reuwsaat's Fish Oil.

As a side note--coon do not have hands,people have hands.Coon have front and back feet.
I mention this because so many anti trappers try to humanize animals.

A possum a day!!! No emoji can describe what I'm feeling right now.

I caught a ton of possums too. I think I am like at 13 of them, finally quit catching them now because of the cold.

I see your point, BogMaster. I say hands because...well that is what they look like!

We have a front coming in tonight, the next couple hours may be good. (I hope school is canceled so I can go check in daylight!) I caught a red tonight and saw a big one I think was with it. My plan is to pull K-9 sets friday and set water traps saturday, as deer season and bear season are fast approaching. Who else from PA is setting for rats and mink Saturday?

I wish we had water critters nearby or else I would be setting saturday. For some reason we don't have any rats on the stream that I have the ability to trap. Only 1 more year till I can go wherever the wind takes me. Counting down the seconds until I can drive. Once I can drive I will try water trapping.

I have almost all my traps out. I will still be trapping through deer season on most of the properties I am currently trapping. All of them are somewhat near roads and\or are on properties that no one hunts.

Still haven't caught much other than possums the past week. Some odd stuff that got released but mostly possum.

Finnaly got a small coon today. Got him in a DP that I was going to move since 3 weeks ago cause it wasn't catching anything. I just didn't take the time to and miraculously got him.

Also saw tons of fox tracks. One ran about 5 ft. From my trap. My goal this season is to trap one and kill one with a gun predator hunting. Neither of which I've done yet.

Mom came home this afternoon. And saw a fox tail going in our field. I grabbed the gun and call and went out. She said she thought it was a grey so that's how I called. After a bit of calling we stopped and started tracking it in the snow. To beer understand where it ran and to hopefully jump it. We ran in to it after tracking for about 150-200 yards. It popped up about 75 yards away and ran. Oh yea, there were three of us, all brothers. So when it ran and stopped to look at us awhile I was surprised. I turned the call on and we all knelt in the middle of the field. It sat down and watched me at about 100-125 yards. If I had it sighted in past 100 I would have shot it. It finnaly trotted toward us and I saw its head at 50 yards. I pulled up and was ready to shoot when it started trotting toward us some more then the wind shifted and the last I saw of him was his rear end in my scope.

I had to share one of the more exciting predator hunts this year. Thanks for reading!

Got me my 5th bobcat this week but this computer won't let me post pics! Caught her at a blackened stump set using coon urine & MarkJune's "Canine Candy." Caught her in a B&L #2 cs.

Trapre, them fox can be tricky, keep trying for them and eventually you'll connect on one. Author, congrats on your fifth cat, can you keep all of them in Texas?

Yes, sir!

Caught my 2nd coyote yesterday, thought it was a pretty good lookin dog

Nice yote, what kind of set did you get it in?

Who's got some sets out? I pulled the rest of my rat traps today for deer season. Here's a couple pictures from the line.

I Pulled all my sets today for gun season. Hopefully I can reset them before too long. I caught a few coon today and a couple of possums.

I caught it in a dirthole set on the edge of a hay field. Using Andy Weiser’s range boss as bait.

Finnaly!!! Four years of trapping, three years of hoping and targeting fox, and $300+ later it's Gonna my paying off! The red I caught yesterday in a crappy(I thought) dirthole. And the gray I caught today!!!

Persistence pays off.Way to go!
Tom

Awesome, congratulations on your first fox!
