This weather is freaking unreal, -10 yesterday, +27 today!

Picked up this pretty little girl back behind the house, that makes 5 from back there



Headed out tomorrow, hoping this chinook made the critters move!

You must be feeding them good HFT.

Boco, with the amount of bunny's running around this year it has been hard to get the jokers to commit to bait stations. Out on my main line I have one that has always been a top producer for yotes and fox, on average 10 fox and 5 yotes. This year nothing has even come close to it. My numbers are way off. But on the bright side there will be plenty of seed out there for next year

Might wanna try some blind sets where they hunt the rabbits if they are leaving any sort of pattern.That usually works good with the cats for me when there is lots of rabbits.The cats will stay in a rabbit pocket and hunt for a few days then move on.Cat snares on the rabbit runs have added pelts for me.
True,the bait piles arnt nearly as effective if the animals arnt hungry.

Boco I got the bunny trails covered just waiting for them to cycle back through.

Didn't expect to catch a rat outta that hole! I see now why Mr Mink was done there



Be safe out there

Sounds like the sets behind the house are productive. Did you rest the 110?

bfisch they are Hoping for a few more before they start to rub. Nope didn't reset it, our season on mink closes tomorrow.

Oh well, seed for next year. At least you got a fluffy rat out of the deal.

Indeed Seed for next year.

Picked this boy up behind the house, #6



Be safe out there!

I'd say you are having a heck of a good year on the line. Especially for trapping locally. I don't know anybody that does as good as you that traps close to town. I knew a guy once that came close. But as far as I know he no longer traps or lives in the area.

Thanks for the compliment but actually my numbers are way off this year. With the no freeze up till late and high bunny numbers, it put a damper on things. There are people that do far better then me, Kusko's boy puts a hurtin on them big time

Well the wife decided that we needed a vacation, so off to Vegas we went for a dew days It hit 72 one day and I was able to take my shirt off and I gotta tell you that sun freaking felt awesome!

I enjoy slots but am old enough to know you only gamble with a budget and when your outta money you step away. This trip I hit triple 7's three times That is a first for me Still waiting to win that jack pot



It got down to the last $20. I had been playing this game silver strike, every time you hit it you get a $10 coin. Well that morning as we walked downstairs I saw a promo that was the same set up but with a 40 dollar coin. I told the wife last 20 I want to hit that game....... sure enough I got it plus an additional 2 $10 ones for a total of $60
I had thought about keeping it and giving it to AKHowler when I see him next, cause you know it has a wolf on it But that was a fleeting thought with the wife



So got in last night and hit the line running this morning getting K9 gear reset and relureing everything. We got about 4 inches of fresh snow out on my line on Wed. The birds are all over the bait stations but no track. Ran the creek and came to the first kitty set Not the prettiest of cats, but I will take it! Had her full pad back leg and two toes on the rear, she wasn't going any where



Now what makes this kitty special is that TED (Aktrpr) had stopped in a few weeks ago and gave me a bottle of his mojo and we talked a spell, That man is a wealth of knowledge!.



I kinda felt like I was back in Vegas as I watched a kitty go down my line and hit this snare, knocked it out of the way, on a bunny trail he hopped right over 2, and just when you think it couldn't get any worse.... he walked to within 10 yards of a cubby, looked at it, layed own and rolled in the snow a little, then got up and went the opposite direction!



Looks like another chinook is blowing in with temps in the 40's and rain,

You guys be safe out there!

Welcome back, dude! You are an example for all that face adversity!

Do you set two traps at all your cubbies and is that how you leave/cover them? I know some cover them and some don't. I add a little bit more snow than you have pictured but have been adding less than when I started.

Thanks for the kind words AV.

bfisch- I try to put out 2 traps, I got enough of the dang things I prefer walk throughs but we just haven't had the snow for those this year. Yeah I hear what your saying but it was 36 out there today and they are calling for rain, rather have a exposed trap vs one that is froze down.

Makes sense. Way to play the weather.

I read these posts every Sunday morning.
Thank you.
Great news on the prognosis.

Been pretty dang slow out on my line the past few days, Between the weather and the crappy conditions started to shut segments of my line down today. Missed a few yotes at pee posts, one all but danced on top of the pan But it had warmed up enough and then froze hard enough to lock that trap down.

This mornings adventure started at 18 degrees and snowing. By the time I got out on my line we already had close to a foot, Coming home this evening it was 39. Got everything dug out hopefully the critters will move. Picked up this little red at a bait station, not what I wanted, Got all my snares high for the yotes and kitties, this little thing was beyond rubbed and if it was in a trap I would have let it go.



Things have been going alright with me medically, the infusions still jack me up but don't me from rolling My eyeball is wide open, now I just need for the muscles to rebound so I can see straight

39 degrees! Wow! That is not helpful for land trapping. Especially if it keeps snowing. We are supposed to get up to 20 tomorrow and that is too warm I think. Hope you can get those coyotes next go round.

Good luck on the coyotes and nice catch on the cat. I understand your pain on the coyotes dancing all around the set and not getting caught. Thanks for taking us along on the line.
