40 pound Tom this morning. Had an opossum in one trap and him in the other at a walk through cubby.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Awesome! Wish I could trap them here. Not many around, but a few.


When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Wow Greg, that's a whopper! If you are still driving around the county with your tailgate down, I'd love to see the beast.

State land?

Good job Strike2x, thats a beauty.

I got a medium-sized tom and released what looked like a smallish female (she was kinda grumpy and not in the mood to let me confirm gender).

Self-timed pics at the catch site, I dont know why they came out so dark. I've taken several prettier ones but its still a nicely colored tom, for my area....

Wow North country, that thing is huge. I thought mine was a Whopper. By the way John, all Lenon lures again. Bobcat nature call, Beaver super all call for a rub and super range coyote. Also. Piece of Beaver that was caught on Lenon Beaver all call.


Wish I had more time to trap....

Wish I had more time to trap....

Great looking cats, Ambush and Marshall.

Look at those conditions, no snow to speak of, couldnt ask for better. Usually we get a nightly dump of snow and high winds to make things tough during cat season. I still have 6" of crusty snow on my line...but not an issue since I pulled a long time ago.

Marshall sold his cat to the taxidermist at Jay's in Clare today. Was going to have it tanned with feet and claws on for $175 but the guy offered him $100 for the cat as it was. He took the money. Guy skinned the head and took skull out and sent Marshall to the DNR to get a cites tag. Took skull through mouth. I am going to buyers tommorow with my furs, cat included and I hope I get at least 100 since I put it up but not holding my breath.

I was told the DNR needs to attach the ciites tag to the pelt?

They did, just still had carcass in it. All they want is the skull and because there is a deadline you almost have to do it that way if taxidermist is taking it whether it be for them or you. Just make sure the DNR guy doesn't try to poke new holes....
