See any boot tracks .....Tire tracks ? ....I hate when that happens...people suck

just say the word and i'll have my people rub him out les.

Go get em, batman!

I think Les is changing a tire on the bat...er beavermobile for another round at er.

Not much going on here, I picked up one tonight. I have another trap set tonight too. I am not too ambitious anymore, lol.

So what's the number? I would have run out of ambition after the first day, bud! We are all living vicariously through you!

You had a good run old timer!

Chris

121 is the number and climbing. I am going out when it warms up and setting a few more ...mid day. Farm creek pond.

can i go,rainin as usual here.

There is another fella up here hammering them too...I don't know if he'll chime in..he's 3% more reserved than I am. lol.

Big county up here and only a couple guys from here putting up any large numbers.

"THERE GOES OLD LESTER, THE BEAVER MOLESTER" !!

w

lol. Yep. I don't fondle them too hard.

I think I have that stolen trap thing figured out. Last year I had a guy, trap right in the middle of everything, and there were 2 other trappers around, but this guy, using wire and a bag of rocks for his system, loses a beaver, and then claims somebody stole it from him. He has problems with the wire system all the time because he don't know how to trap, and uses undersized traps to boot. So he pulls up and leaves but not before blameing someone else for his failures.

This year, I think it s the same guy, different area, in my line, repeat performance except I gave him the whole ditch and only went there to dump carcasses. I imagine a scenario where he lost a trap, or a beaver pulled out at the top, and before he leaves and pulls traps, he has to check me out and lift a trap from me a couple miles away. Old guy too, cant upgrade and it's always someone elses fault.

He's got to get even with someone.

I always laugh when some says to me real loud "I'm trapping Here"....

Yeah right, right along with everyone else.

Way to go Les Dumping all your skinned carcasses where he is trapping,lol.
Sounds exactly like something I would do,lol.

Yes, I do that to intimidate the weaker minded trappers. The strugglers, and the downtrodden underachievers that aren't going to amount to anything anyways.

I just took my 14'er out of storage, behind the barn, lol, and am about to mount the SVS longtail mud motor upon it. I might have a water trapping gig to attend to.

This beaver trapping is all about catching the big numbers, making the big money and getting all the good lookin' women.

Trapper Les
Great post. Thanks for sharing all the great pictures. Don't get easier each year does it.
Wicked nice job. Lots and lots of hard work and good trapping methods.
mac

Last fella that told me that I looked at straight faced and responded “I don’t mind!”

I got the pile whittled down to 13 beaver left to skin. I have drained the oil sacs and froze up the drained sacs too. I got a couple nice jars of sac oil.

i love the way you think sir.
