We went a while without seeing any, then a couple weeks ago we had a warm night and every creek was covered in coon tracks. They moved only one night, then holed up tight again. I pulled yesterday, but should have left them in one more night. It stayed warmer a lot longer last night than the forecast said it would. It was still 28 degrees at ten o'clock last night.

Never had a beaver bigger than 67 pounds until today-81 pounds.

Good one Mad should get more than couple brats from that one. Them beaver starting to get any castor in their bags.
. Hey post couple pictures of your ride.. what kinda boat you running.

Nice beaver

Caught my very first coyote today. Armchair hay set. Still has pretty decent fur, no rubbing on the neck or shoulders. Just a little bare spot on the inside of a hind leg.

Castors look about like mid December.I run a 14ft classic with a 300 hp 350 chevy.I’ll post a pic next check.

Congratulations K
Looking like another year without a yote for me.Dang smart around my playground.

How'd you weigh it?

I had to take one into a feedmill to weigh one time in 1987

Mad scientist either you catch a tremendous amount of beaver or you are a very lucky man. I don’t believe I’ve sever seen so many poor catches that hold the animal. No offense, just making an observation. Is it your gear?

I was hoping someone could tell me the issue but I’ll just keep raking in the cash in the meantime.2 out of 10 good neck catches and the rest got me scratching my head.

Ensure you are stabilzing the trap properly.

I would remove that stick from the top of the conibear.

Won’t need to spend a lot of time skinning anyway.52 pounder caught in a run.

Nice boat!

Hey Mad nice ride..
My son and I actually saw you Thursday afternoon. We had the dog out of the truck for run at goose. We were on north end by shelter 5 when you came by. I actually was wondering if might be you. Didn't think there was any trapping or fishing gear in the boat. So looked like someone just taking a joy ride. We even talked about where that guy may put the boat off trailer at? Didn't see any trailers at landing. Your boats is actually pretty quiet but then you kind just went by. Wasn't like you were really standing on it.

Both 1022s connected after being snapped two days in a row.Middle pic is a 72 pounder after ice removal.

To nasty yesterday for pictures on the line but caught 2 kits and a38 pd.Rat in a 1022 looks like a mouse in a 110.

Good to see your still after them. That wind was brutal hope you were out early before the worst of it.
Clean them little ones up and slow roast them makes some good eats.

Trapping some bank houses with cattail caches.Why is it when your rat trapping the beaver mess with you and when your beaver trapping the rats mess with you?

March. So far some “Good clean trappin.....not a lot of skinnin!” Lowell Benedict

Without water how can there be this much ice??

Teamed up with a buddy and caught 15 today.
