Set up my northern line last Thursday. Got around to checking today. Set 18 traps, and ended the day with 14 beaver, an otter and a rat. Pretty decent day. Had four traps at a house and got five Beaver and an otter. Never had that before. Gotta love those snare poles! Now the fun part. Processing a shop full of 30 critters. Lol anyone wants a help?

No doubt, excellent day.
I've been averaging about 18-20 traps on my line these days. About half the number I used to set in my younger years. Just don't feel like skinning that many critters!
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Nice work! And I was complaining about catching 8 beaver in two days. I'm a big baby when it comes to putting up beaver but for some reason I keep doing it. I am a bit of a baby also haha. I'd be panicking a little if it wasn't twenty below at night consistently!

Great catch, just think of all the castor you will collect.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Thing I was most happy about was getting 18 decent traps in in one day. Ice here is between three and four feet on the lakes and bays, and a bit less on the floods. About half the houses had a small spot you could find with your ice chisel. The rest were all too deep. The chainsaw has an 18" bar, and it wasnt enough. Helped a lot though. Chiseling sucks. That's definitely a good day. Lots of work. Congrats
