Thanks guys

Little on the warm side today getting gear out. Accomplished what I wanted to and should have it pretty much done and set come tomorrow.

There is a perch that the eagles always sit in. Love seeing them when I cruise by, it means they are hitting the bait station nearby



Always exciting to find sign like this



I finished the last segment of my line that I wanted to get done today and was heading back to the truck when I cut fresh kitty track cutting across my trail heading straight for snare line I had just put in yesterday............ sure enough



Not the prettiest but I will take it

Way to be productive! Do the eagles hang around all winter?

Yeah we have a butt load of them hanging around. They wipe a bait station out pretty quick in this mild weather but they help spread the smell and bringing in the yote and fox. Part of my trail runs along the RR, when a moose gets smacked it isn't nothing to see 10 or 15 on it.

Nice cat HFT.

Nice start to your season.

Nice kitty. We don’t get many down this way.
Hopefully you have your sno-go issues figured out and your snares will be straightened out.

Pretty day out on the line today, chilly and clear Not seeing much sign this year except for at one bait station, 2 beavers and 6 chicken carcasses, poof gone! Lots of fox track but only in that area.

Just told the wife last night that I wasn't seeing much yote sign and sure enough caught this one running a bunny trail

Nice! I love seeing your pics of fox and coyotes wrapped tight to a tree!

Good start HFT,,,alway's like your pictures!

Great to see you out there getting after it John. Bummer about the machine issues, I hope those are an easy fix for you! Keep those pics coming!

Thanks guys

waterrat, I hope to see some of the wolves you hang up this year

Pretty good run today a lot of variety Ran the creek for the first time this year and it is froze solid, which means I can get further back Put in a bunch more gear.

Started the day off hitting the first bait station and had this pretty guy waiting for me



Last time out I had alot of ermine track at a jack pot so I dropped a box for it.



I follow a trail from my sled down to a little stream, every year right after a fresh snow a dang yote would walk it, This year there was a snare waiting for him



And to finish the day off, picked up marten number 2



Got everything relured, the temps are coming back up to the mid 20's during the day so hopefully critters will move more

Be safe out there!

Nice! And that marten looks like a dandy dark!
Glad you are back at it.

That is a nice variety!

Way to go John!

Thanks guys!

The weather is crazy! Went from in the low single digits to freaking 34 today. Did manage to make it all the way out to the lakes today, that I am happy about, Dropped a bunch more gear and cut a little sign, we will see how it all pans out,

Picked up the first mink of the year



Also picked up a yote in a MB 750, not picture worthy.

Be safe out there!

Looks like a great mink!

Warm ups are no fun. Looking forward to hearing how it pans out!

Well the Bravo is going into retirement, will keep it for the back up sled, I splurged a little and picked me up a Artic Cat Panther It has all the bells and whistles I took it out today and ran the line, pretty happy with it, the only down fail is it sucks up some gas. But I feel great didn't get beat up like I do on the Bravo



Rolled up on the first bait station and had this guy, Got lucky he was working the cable pretty good. I think if it had bee 7x7 he wouldn't have been there.





Picked up a little ermine in a flower pot set. The blood is from the beaver thawing out and dripping on it.



There is this one point that out of my whole line I enjoy the most. It always produces for me, kinda like a catch all, mink marten yote fox and kitty, Don't know what it is but everything seems to go through there. Picked this little girl up coming off of the river.



One got lucky at this snow hole, just stepped to the right of the pan, he will be back



Some years I will not cut any marten sign, other years I will see a ton, last year I seen 1 track al season. The most I have caught in one year was 7, maybe this year I will beat that The first one is a toad! The second pretty nice





Last year Ted gave me some of this lure to try, I connected with 2 kitties towards the end of the season last year and we are off to a good start with it this year



It is pretty amazing to me how this one set just seems to always produce kitty's, it is along a creek and I have take probably 10 kitty's at the same tree.



Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe out there!

Nice run HFT,Looks like you'll be busy skinning.

I'd take a check like that any day! Well done!
