Set trigger all the way to one side.

Your still going to kill some otter. And most of them will be Hip caught.

As soon as the 14" of snow and the 10" of ice is gone I have a plan.

Won’t be long rivers are open lakes will be right behind time to hit it hard

Our traps are now under 2' of water. It's going to take some time for that water to go down.

They are way prettier snared under ice



Until there isn't any ice!

But you need to beat the shrews to them

Slush Puppies.
Tom

Yup. Been there, maybe.

Something like that. Had to run the wheeler to pull yesterday, then we got 4" of new snow last night! LOL

Those are sum big paddles!!

Geeze, pushing that ice (or lack there of) to the final day, eh?

Nope! Somebody put water where there is suppose to be ice for another month!

You're ballsy anyhow. Cant take that off you. Be safe ya ice dancin beaver slayer.

I'm surprised that you did not do a little swimming there....or did you?

Nope, no swimming, but the bottom fell out a couple times!

Just keep er pinned and dont look behind you.

I cannot believe how fast our ice went from 6-8 inches to getting soft to ice-out. Only a few days.

You got that right. I came up on that hump and saw the narrow cave in in the old track, turned hard left and the rear gave way. I had four beaver in the sled and it hit hard but the skis were up. Love the throttle response of the 550 F. Look where the left ski landed when she set back down, came out of it on the left side nose up and me leaning over the windshield. It's an old dead pond between two live ones. The dead house is just to the right of the picture, and that cave in is the main run coming out of the house. Parked the machine on the old dam and walked back to take the picture.
The second picture is just a cave in from the last trip through. There were several on that flowage I'd been running at least three times. You can see the fresh track out and around.



Don't feel like the lone ranger. Took 5 days to set this line up. Cross country 15.4 miles on snomo back to the truck. Line lasted 12 days for the full line, then pulled everything except five houses I could get to with the wheeler. The poles had all fallen over and the beaver had their way with them, but I still got three for my troubles. I should have had another month, maybe only three weeks, with normal break-up, but Mom Nature had other ideas.

I seen those marks in the snow in that one pic,Rally, And was trying to figure it out,lol.

Boco and other beaver guys,
Take a good look at the beaver pictured here and tell me what you see. Wasn't obvious to me until I started boarding them.
