Hey guys it’s been a long while since I’ve scouted the pages of Trapperman. Been busy chasing ducks .

Any how what’s the most animals you’ve caught within the same night on the same gang set. Basically who has a picture of multiple animals trapped. I’m betting raccoons are the most common... anyone have anything else...yotes or fox?

About 13,14 years ago I hung 6 snares on 6 trails within 40 yards of each other,the next day I had 5 red fox out of the 6 snares.My nephew and myself set 7 beaver traps at a colony the next morning we had 6 beavers,3 years ago and last year I had put in 4 coyote sets the following day I had a triple,doubles are always nice but triples are nicer,i'm not sure what 5 fox are other than a great stop.

I hear that! Five fox is great!

Over 100 on a single night set in an area of less than 20'x20'. It was roof rats in a feed store storage building. Dropped a gross of snaps and was catching as we set. Quit counting at 100 with many of those being hard to count due to cannibalism. Worst rat job I've ever seen. Run traps for a week and did the final cleanup with liquitox.
My sinuses burned from the stench.

On bigger stuff five beaver with six 330s. Four reds with six sets.

8 lynx out of 3 traps and 11 snares in one corner of a narrow river.

Not really gang sets,but a good check of traps overnight.32 beaver and 1 rat out of 34 330's.

8 for 8 in 20 yards. Pic isn’t good but I was happy

Set 12 traps at a beaver colony, 10 beaver the next morning and a rat. All 12 traps were set off, 50 pounder caught in a foothold on a crossover and only pinched his toe. He pulled out and continued over the crossover and got caught in the 330 on the lower side of the dam.

8 for 8 on 330d beaver in less than 100 feet.Most of the sets were castor mound sets.

4 traps 4 coyotes the next day ,six beaver set an 5 beaver the next day

Doubles are common on my line, triples not so much. Still waiting for a quadruple. Thirty-six hour check by law, twenty-four in reality.

24 hour check here, I get a few doubles a year, never had a triple on coyotes, waiting patiently for the day

My back hurts just thinking about all that put up.

My best is seven coyotes with a 100 yard radius circle. Could see them all standing in the gate. Had a friend with me. Ron Parker, president of the KS houndsman association. First time he had ever checked traps in his life and that was our first stop. I didnt say anything just acted like it was that way all the time. He figured it out after a couple days though and I admitted it was a first.

Two coons and a possum, in a little finger of water leading a lake. All within 10 yards.

In 1964, I spent 2 days with the state trapper for Ohio, Sheldon Colvin. After setting and catch, I bought supplies and equipment from him that I needed. He only had 4 #2 Coils in stock, (he mailed me 2 more later) The first day I set all 4 traps in a 25 acre field. Next morning, I had 4 red fox. I didn't have a camera so couldn't get a shot. I remade the sets and the next I had 4 more red fox. the third day I got 3 more reds this time a friend of mine went along that had a camera and took photo of me with the 3. After third day I pulled them from that field. I later reset that field with 4 sets. and in 3 days caught 6 more reds and 3 grays. I thought fox trapping was easy... when I had caught all of the dumb ones, things got harder.

Garry-

I had 5 coyotes all within sight. And 12 rats In one colony trap and 39 rats but of 40 traps all In a line that wasn't more then 40 yards long.

when i first started doing bait stations for Raccoon i set 6 dp's out the first night in a ten-12 foot circle around the bait bucket and a trail camera. Next day i had six coon and when i checked the camera card i think i should have had a dozen traps out as there were well over six coon foraging around after the six were caught right away. Later on i would deduce that i would put a dozen dp's at every site. Lol never had another site like the first and had a lot of traps sitting empty thinking the big convoy was there for every one. Goes to show the first site was just a premo site where the sign was right on the money and the numbers were just there.

Set 4 live traps in one yard and got the big three, skunk, opossum and raccoon.
