I wonder how much "meat is left on the bone" for the buyer the next step up with that average...?

Apparently enough he thought he could make money. Generally they have a number in their head of what they need, or they don't stay in business long.

Yep, Doug’s been buy Fur for over 20 years that I know of. I’m guessing he knows to the once “how much meat is left”.

Pulled about 80% of my sets today, will pull the rest tomorrow and sit back when the storm rolls in on Thursday and get set up for the cat season if I can get around after the 45 MPH winds settle down. LOL Might haul bait on Christmas day and set up the cubbies for when I can get back in there and start trapping my areas. Have a roadkill I will drag into another place and see what remains of the 1st one I put there, seen cat tracks there already just need a few nice days and access with the snow we might get.

Finished pulling everything I had out today ended up with 2 coon and a badger today, 1 badger was smaller and looked like he had a "money cut" on his back leg from his heal to the rump. Another big badger and big coon another coon with no tail but it looked huge, will try to get it weighed tomorrow but very busy getting ready for cat season heading down to bait cubbies in the AM before the storm hits at least I might keep them around until I can get in there.

Santa was good to me today. Been a long dry spell, but with only running 3 sets I don't expect much, LOL. 2 nice Coyotes that I am lucky were still there when I got there. First one I had by a toe and the second one I pulled up on the trap chain to try and pull the stake enough to cut it. I no more than started to pull and I felt it pop and it let loose from the ground. The ferrule let go and left the Pogo washer in the ground. Im going to pull the last set in the morning and ride out the storm with the rest of yah. It has been a sour season for me as the doc put me on strict "light duty" until they can narrow down some breathing/lung issues I am having.

Spent the day baiting cubbies/flagging and putting out a draw station for cats, put some carcasses in the burn pit it was a good day called on the way home and had Christmas dinner when I got back home. Seen a few badger holes so I will keep an eye on them when checking cat sets when I get them set up and the snow will help see what holes are active.

Stumper- Sorry to hear of the health problems. Glad your sets held those 2 yotes until you could have them in hand. Get well in the new year!!

if theyve got these amounts correct our lives are gonna get a little less fun here lawdog. 16" of snow behind a 45mph wind is no good. but, the weather folks sure seem to suck at their job lately so well see i suppose

Yep that last inch of snowfall with the wind made some foot deep drifts along the line so 10-16 inches will be a nightmare. But from what I see no snow predicted in the next week to 10 days after this mess goes through if a guy can just get around for cats.

Good luck to you guys fighting that deep snow! When I was up this fall, everything went south but the rain, got plenty of that! I felt very fortunate that it didn't dump up there while I was there. Good luck on the cats, Jerry!

Tried to get into cat country today but the drifts were bad with more snow/wind coming on Monday maybe, think I will wait and try next Tuesday the one place I have access to a payloader to open up that trail. If it crusts over I could get the 4 wheeler in there.

That's a bummer Law Dog!! But the weather, at least for temps, seems to keep zig-zagging. Cold over New Years Day, back into the 30s later next week. You might not get your crusted drifts...

My little load of coons went on the NAFA pick-up truck this morning. Nice to see some other trappers still dropping off their stuff off in my metro. I sent my first couple of legit 5x today, average length for the whole lot was 34.7 inches. Hope spring enteral for a final price at auction...

Thanks! With our Jan thaw, I've put some dps back into action so maybe have a few more to send up north before they start going down hill. I'm a bit concerned that I've caught almost no dink coons this season, the smallest have been 1 xl (which aren't going to auction). Not a lot of road kills either this fall and winter. Law Dog mentioned not catching very many dinks either so I wonder if a round of distemper has gone through the southeast part of the state. May have to mrat trap next fall instead of going after coons. With our wet year, the rats are back!!
