I need more than luck, lol. Total wipeout, every stream we are on was extremely high, fast and muddy.

didn't get as much rain up here i don't think,but i got some muddy fur to work on.

High water always means more muskrats for me. Got half a dozen within a couple miles of the house.

Juniata River very high (11ft. Will crest at 18 tomorrow!!)and local creeks bank full. Traps on land are under water dirthole sets!!

no cat or fisher but can't complain.

That was worth gettin wet for. Nice haul PCR2

GOOD JOB PC2 !

Great check pcr!

fisher set,4 coiled bridger 2 by both front feet and fiesty.2 yrs in a row in a 4 coiled 2.

Nice catches pcr2 glad to see you finally got so steel out. I'm hoping to get another k9 line out this Saturday been putting it off week after week. Got everything ready to go so if the shop is slow Saturday going to try and get 36 sets out to end the season with.

That is crazy but I know better now. I was using like a pipe dream set, found it laying along a longing road, thought it would be a good lure holder, stuffed it into a tuft of grass and slammed a bridger 2 in front of it. Guess I’ll get me some conduit.

Nice catches pcr2, all I had Was a few water filled dirt holes and empty flat sets today. It was nice just to check in the daylight though.

Nice's catches. No Fisher today but the big coons filled up all the K9 sets I had out.had 4 doubles on coons today, all nice ones finished with 9 coon today.probably about $6 worth.and all a muddy mess.tomorrow's another day.good luck to all.looking forward to seeing some Fisher pics.

Good haul PCR2.

Putting out a cat and fisher line tomorrow. First time I've set in around...5-6 years.


Scouted last week and found several locations with tracks of both. Worked this weekend and with the rain, figured I'd just wait till tomorrow to set. I'm off and looks dry for a few days. I don't have time to maintain sets before work so everything will go in waxed dirt so I don't have to worry. I work the entire season so will be checking before work...not really going to have time to remake wet frozen sets.

Never got a chance to trap cats or fishers seriously except the year I started I kinda sorta did but was clueless lol.


I'm excited. Have a long day ahead of me tomorrow. I won't stop till I'm out of traps or it's dark...if I run out of daylight I will finish Tuesday. I'd like to get a good number of sets in all the locations so if I nab one of the other I still have a good chance at nabbing the other. There was good overlap of both critters in the same areas so that's good too. I think I have 22 traps...figure I will end up with 18 sets or so. I have a few places I wanna make walk through cubbies with traps on each end.

Went to set today, every tree root I went to was a pond, water everywhere .

Ended up only getting 7 or 8 sets out lol. (Can't remember if I put 3 or 4 sets in the one area..).


I set 2 of the areas I wanted to. I will probably get a couple more sets in the one area tomorrow and then set another area or 2.


Ended up sleeping in a little longer than I wanted...and didn't get the gear packed last night like I wanted....after spending about an hour to build a cubby I knew I had to speed that up....but dang it's a nice looking cubby!

Thought chicken wire would help speed up cubby construction but after using it on 2 it just didn't work as planned.


I am excited to check tomorrow!!! I forgot how much anticipation there is! I don't know that I expect anything....but my sets are in exact locations I had tracks last week. Just a matter of time till they work back through hopefully.

can't believe i was lucky enough to not even have to move my footholds up.1/3 of my line actually still has a pretty good snowpack.amazed at how little coyote sign i'm seeing.not complaining just saying it's odd.

5 pages back,where did ya'll go??

any fisher or cats yet???

regrouping a little today and movin to some new spots.

good luck

I don't have any fisher sign on the 2 locations I trap. The shop has been so busy I haven't had a moment to get my steel back out started out on the coyotes hard. This Saturday I'm getting steel back out there can't wait any longer. Here's a nice photo of of a catch an release before cat season for ya pcr2. Inspiration photos I guess lol.

red fox in the backyard again,pic later and hopefully the start of a good day.have a nice little line out just need to move some stuff and pick up and add some stuff.normal stuff.
