The season is closed here in Kansas. It’s been a rough one for sure with all the moisture. I’ll be counting the days until the next season.

Great pics! I pulled my set this morning and the season ends on the 28th here. Already dreaming about next year as well.

I went down to SW Ks the last two weeks to finish the season. Had a minor surgery back the first part of Dec, and between being hard to heal it up and the weather, I didn't get to trap much. So I escaped the great white NE of Ks, (I'm about thirty miles fro Ne) and went to the sandy, dry (by comparison) and sunny end of Ks. Skinned the last yote on Valentines day in sixty five degree weather, was home four and a half hours later with twenty four degree temps at six thirty! Just about turned around and went back! Lee, I was down in the back for the first two weeks of December and couldn’t trap. It just so happens that was the only two dry weeks of the winter. When I finally got going one of my employees had the sun in his eyes and turned short while I was at a stop sign and nailed me. Back finally better, now no trapping truck. Trapped in my work truck that gets about 7 miles per gallon for a few days then a big rain. I pulled my traps and set a few snares after that.

I have no idea where he found that. I sure didn’t see it when I made the set. It took me about 30 minutes to get that out of the chain!

Looks like a great season, minus the blown airbags. LOL. It was a good season. I hindsight maybe all the moisture was a blessing. I haven’t snared in years and the weather forced me to do it. I forgot how relaxing and rewarding it was building snares, and how effective they are!
