Just came off the pond from putting in beaver sets. Not guilty.

Working, will probably set a few traps in the after noon as we are working half a day today. Look for caribou tomorrow and maybe set some traps if I have time.

What makes you think we're not trapping just because we are on here?
I got a few traps and snares out working right now,and a couple pelts ready to turn tonight.
As long as I got traps out I'm trapping 24-7.

But I think I get your point.Many are not going hard because of the uncertainty in the market.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I plunk myself down on a log with my phone to see what's going on here quite often. Pretty neat when you can stay up to date with T-Man while you're scoping out a beaver flowage.

Ive been playing ice breàker with my kayak the last few days checking beaver traps. Might actually catch a few tomorrow. Getting tired of the 1-3 beaver days when I hoped to have what ivr caugh so far on two days. Dropped 20 new sets today and started to pull parts of the line where I've had luck so far

My son and I just put traps out today. Every ice covered puddle was jumped in and any tree that could be climbed was climbed.
