We had about a foot of snow last week and it really put the skids to furbearer movement where I'm at. Fisher, coyote, fox and cat sign was quite abundant prior to the storm but the deep snow has them holed up. We had a heavy rain last night that really knocked down the snow and it's supposed to drop into the mid teens tonight and only reach twenty tomorrow. I'm anticipating some movement tonight. Sign will be hard to come by when everything ices over.

Wet fall prevented farmers from getting all their corn out so predators are in the fields where all the game is at. Very little movement as they have no need to go far. This year sucks. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Wanna Be trapper W Joined: May 2018 Posts: 10,928 SW Georgia	78 today...gonna be COLD tomorrow with a high of 53!! Critters should be moving and I don’t have any sets out. First farm comes open the 19th and I took off from then until the 29th. Then move all traps on the 1st until they get tired of paying!! Always wanted a little snow to see tracks, but nothing like what y’all get.
