We need to pull tomorrow so his first marten may need to wait until next year. The cat trapping will only get better as we get more cold and snow.
I have nothing clever to put here.

great pics and happy young trapper. I think your getting too old to carry that heavy orange ice chisel. Pretty soon the young trapper will be carrying both you and chisel on trap line....LOL.

That chisel is going in the box with me. I love that thing! The “original “ one I got around 1988 or so and have cut 1,000’s of holes with it for trapping and spear holes when we had the resort. I lost it once, found it and then had duplicates made. I saved one for each of my nephews even.

I have my orange beast here in house in corner. Alot of comments on it and once some one uses it they cant believe how the ice melts before its thrusts.

If I ever lost this chisel I would quit trapping through the ice and ice fishing. I can pop open rat house in seconds or lift the end of an 8x12 fish house. I love it!

I noticed something kind of strange to me today, all of my bait stations that are typically covered with ravens and other scavenger birds, nothing.. Can't recall in years past where these bait sites have not been covered with birds. Maybe lots of gut piles yet from deer season? Idk. Another dry run. Things should pick up with these cooler temps we are having. Same thing here. When it was warm out there were eagles and ravens, and now nothing. Bait stations are just being left alone, nothing moving. I could see the full moon causing this for the animals on the ground but not the birds.

I have been lucky enough to catch one at 41lb and another big tom at 42lbs. They are the biggest cats I have been lucky enough to catch. Those are very large. Osky

Nice job on letting that kitten go! That’s why I love my cages and 3N’s.
