Hope the yotes come through the area for him, early morning check and catch circles in the snow will be exciting for him. keep us posted. It would be exciting for me too!

Good to see the two of you out and about. So is that the gun he is holding from last years trapping adventure? Yes, that old Steven's 22 single shot. He bought that rifle with his first years trapping profits. It is a really clean old rifle. $60 and he got about a brick of assorted ammo with it. Grandpa made him a heck of a deal on it.

Our water season does not open until the 31st here and by looking at the extended forecast I determined that all of the small water will be frozen over by then if not sooner and a lot of the bigger lakes too. There is also a LOT more snow in the forecast. These factors made me decide to pull my trapping boat out of the lake and turn it over and pull the small boat lift it sat upon before it all froze in. Dang, I had wanted to get after some beaver that had colonies on the waterway here too. I think spring will now be a better option. It is snowing again now and the temp is right at 30 on my front steps.
Good luck to you and Logan, Rob, I hope you can get one of those coyotes without mange.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Good luck to you and Logan, Rob, I hope you can get one of those coyotes without mange. The ponds here are already frozen and it is still 5 more days until opener. We too but the little trapping boat back in the pole barn. We will run a FEW sets on moving water but I am not going to work very hard at it given the prices. I started fattening up the coon a month or more ago and had them coming every night but even that has stopped now.

I will be watching as well. Hope he gets one. Did he ever get a boathouse for the pontoon?
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Loved checking traps with my son before he went to school. Just adds a little excitement to the morning.

So how long is it till this becomes a LONGLINING with Logan ? The way the weather is shaping up, probably 12 months minimum.
