I heard there was a guy who was a legend on catching some a few years back. He was on TV quite a bit with his catches. Guarded it fiercely too. A Mr. Whipple guy I think was his name. He has passed on now , wish he had him now , he knew a lot.

Had this one mounted

That's a trophy!!!!! Did you get it scored ?

1,000 squares. Only one ply though.

Ah Ha, I was waiting for this post from a experienced trapper. I did this on purpose, come what may. If I hadn't got there when I did all would've been lost. That stake is a 24" 3/8ths stake. Always I double stake but did this one for educational learning. Never underestimate the Charmin critter.

A big shout out to Hawker and Madco, they are my inspiration and I provided for my family.

Yes, he was a legend indeed. He had his own method of dispatch which consisted of squeezing the air out of them. He was politely advised not to do so but it seemed like he was obsessed to continue.

You may want to forgo the bodygrippers and snares. You could be fined heavily or maybe your privy privileges revoked. Depending on your state laws you might be able to snare or bodygrip other brands but never get caught squeezing the Charmin. Be extra careful not catch those pregnant females, the sanity of the U.S. is dependent on a new generous population !

Dad was awesome, got nothing else to say. Did you see that pumped stake?

I was trying to be polite by not criticizing your staking system but now that it has been brought to light I will make a few observations. First, there was no telling just how much of your stake remained in the ground since your stake could have been 42 inches or more like some that I use and ground could have been frozen . Also, you used a snare support and the wire would not be my choice for holding such a feisty critter even though it appears to be #9. I do not see enough swivels either since that critter you have there has been known to roll around and clog swivels with grass and debris. You were lucky to have held that beast since it appears to be a big one and double ply at that.

Exactly, all you newbies, pay attention. Well analyzed my friend. That is what I want to show to the youngins, trapping Charmin is no joke!

Please don't squeeze it!

Isn’t that on the endangered species list

Ok if you really want to draw in the Charmin you have to use the Blue bucket set, make sure the handle is down and add about 5inches of water, The Delco 15/40 buckets work best for me.

Wife bagged 4 of them today she’s a killer.

No, for the love. They respond best to half moon decoy sets, good grief.
