Check #4 produced 1 coon in a dirt hole set and 1 possum in a PDS. Hoping one of the catches I get canine or feline. Got 30 footholds and 12 DP’s out as of today.

Nice

Nice catches.

Check #5 turned out much better! And, my next door neighbors son-in-law rode with me. He knows I trap and asked if he could ride along and observe. May see if he can ride every day now, lol.
First catch was a coon in a DP along the creek.


Next catch was a fox in a PDS along a field edge that has been sitting since last Tuesday.


Next was a coyote where I missed a fox yesterday and just took up the tore up grass and piled it over the pipe.


Then no check is complete with a possum along a wood line in a small dirt hole set.


Then the last set I put in yesterday and the last on the line had another coyote. He DESTROYED the dirt hole set so bad it wasn’t even possible to reset it. I placed another dirt hole outside the West side of circle and a blind set on the East side.

Nice catches.That gray fox is pretty.

Well done Wanna Be. Now the work starts, right?

Check #6, well after a good day yesterday only ended up with one fox where I caught one of the coyotes yesterday. I just pulled the pipe and moved it outside the catch circle and the fox liked it. Just remade the set where it was today and covered the pipe up with grass like I did before I caught the coyote. Hoping for a little better day tomorrow.

Nice gray fox

Well check #7 yielded 1 more Grey and a couple of possums. Only issue is one possum doesn’t get counted. He was caught and accidentally released, lol. I drove up and he was just lying there. I didn’t want blood everywhere seeing how he didn’t tear the set up too bad and I was pressed for time, so I thought I’d just release him and as he waddled off I’d shoot him. He was only caught by the tail, and the minute that trap released pressure, he took off! I didn’t know they could move that fast. Plus I learned I wouldn’t have made it as a cowboy, really need practice on my quick draw!!
Not too bad of a week. Hoping the coyotes they had on camera come back through soon.

Nice going. It's a lot of fun trapping behind a gate knowing you wont have any conflicts.

Yes sir it is.
I could also say it would be nice to have public land to trap, but we don’t have any. So, private lands it is.

Nice post .... keep on enjoying it out there

Good week
Congratulations
