I have a couple friends in the Waukesha area {they don't trap} and when I travel down south I'm just amazed at the habitat...I was also down to Madison for new years and WOW much better stuff than up north . saw some orange flags in marshes between Portage and Madison, I'm telling my wife.. "look" theres gotta be a hundred traps there!!

You must being doing something right, the light color new stakes produce way better than my old red dogwood stakes for under ice trapping, at least from what I see by the pictures. Other than that I do not see you setting them any different, or you have 200 sets out to my 10, LOL

Are the snow owls not down there yet? Otherwise, wouldn't they steal all your breadcrumbs? https://www.facebook.com/pg/furandwoolmarket/videos/?ref=page_internalI see GFW is doing a Facebook live today at 10AM on Under Ice muskrat trapping on Spirit Lake IA. Any one going to check it out?

Now that you mention it I haven't seen any. Plenty of eagles tho. GFW trying to promote/ recruit prime rats?? Lot of ice melting up our way last night and today.
Bryce Yesterday it rained and rained. I got plenty wet:) I like trapping in the rain. Bays are hard yet but getting to them is a problem, many of the narrows are opening up. driving out last night over the swiss spots the water was shooting up out of the sucker holes...that ice just rolls ahead of ya. Didn't freeze last night, Im gonna let her stiffen up today. Man, I was really getting into it!

They had a couple other FB live video yesterday on fur put up. One even had Dave taking about how he puts up coon. Probably does help promote and get some more folks out there.
Rain can be a trappers best friend... When it is working for you and not against you.

If it did, we would all be waiting.
