Caught a fisher, a big boar coon and four muskrats today. Fisher was released, but they are becoming plentiful here.

Feels good to FINALLY get the line off and running. Can't trap the property until after rifle season so just got traps out this week.

Good luck to everyone this year. Appreciate everyone sharing their insight and expertise over the years.

good luck on the cats and fisher

Good day pcr2. I rode with Nittany Lion yesterday. He caught 3 mink 3 rats and 2 coon. It was a good day.

This is the only pic I got. Me+water+phone=need a new phone.lol
I really needed a day like this, I haven't set a trap in 3 weeks.
And being with a goodoldboy like Nittany made it even better.

all 3 of those are males,the one may be the biggest male i ever saw.hatchery mink.i'm just getting started but anyone is welcome to ride along.i cheat to and slowly move to ny state when our early ending season closes.not really farther than trapping pa.their beaver is open and i am gonna try and get a couple over the next couple days for bait.good luck folks,headed to the shop.

I trap the same swamp you talk about in pburg behind rjs there most the sign is on the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) creek tho the rats move to the creek once those swamps freeze up

Awesome catch! My current line is 7 miles round trip. So I was happy with today's catch. The big coon and the mink were on the same trail, but not close enough together for a picture. By the way, one of those muskrats is number 100 for the season.

I don't have a pic right now, but it's just an extension chain about 6 feet long and coyote sized grapple. I rig a lot of traps that way. I like to hook them in the brush rather than just tossing the grapple to the side. Sometimes I stake down the grapple end. The trap is a Bridger 1.75, nice all around trap.

Went north for fisher for a few days with no luck. Did get one grey fox though so I am happy. I am going to get out and set my local line this week. Nice catches everyone.

Ugly

What kind of set for grey fox? going to Cameron county next week to do a little fox/coyote/beaver trapping myself. can't wait.

Well I'm hoping to be adding to this thread soon. I haven't had much luck this season. Between my lack of experience, time issues, my 2 week frozen sets, etc... I'm out of work today at noon and won't be back until the 2nd. I plan on trapping and hunting hard. I can't wait to get into the mountains.

Tight chains to all!

That grey was caught on a powerline with the trap bedded 8 inches away from a stone i placed in the trail and I think it was only gland lure at the set

anyone else's creeks go up yesterday??anybody else have snow on the ground already??told wifey i swear it seems like its been raining since i was a kid.

Creeks going up means more rats, lol. Got some today in sets that have been empty for awhile. I put in a fox set two days ago along a small swamp connected to a large stream. The next day, my set was under half a foot of water. Lucky I didn't catch a beaver. We have a skim of snow over mud now.

Yesterday and today was a first for me. I was boarding a fox and noticed something was sticking out of its nose. I took a closer look and yanked them with the pliers and pulled out some porcupine quills. This morning I pull up to a set and see a fox laying there dead and coyote tracks circling the set. I ended up catching a coyote on the same property but I’ll never know if it was that coyote that killed the fox

Got us a Christmas cat.

Jerry that looks like a big cat to me.
PCR backyard sets are the best!

Nice cat Jerry . How much did it weigh ?
