I always thought the Grand Slam of trapping was to catch each species of furbearer in our state.

What is a furbearer Grand Slam?
Maybe four different water species or four different Canines, all in one season?
Is a Grand Slam a quad catch at one location?
Your thoughts...

Grand Slam is every trap you have set has fur in it hahaha no I don’t have clue on what a grand slam is.

A big check with lots of zeros in it.

Hammer I like your version...except when you are walking the line then things could get HEAVY....LOL

Well back in the NAFA days one year when I was still combo trapping, my shipment consisted of rats, mink, coon, grey fox, red fox and coyote. I received at least one Top Lot in each furbearer category. To my own thinking it was my personal furbearer grand slam.

That's cool Seldom.
And I think I was asking or beating around the bush what you mentioned. Personal grand slam.
For years, I caught each species of furbearer in my state. Back then, I tried for that each season. So I considered that, a personal Grand Slam.

My Grand Slam of PA is to catch one of all 16 furbearers in the state
I broke it down to a predator slam and a water slam also
Predator slam
Coyote
Red Fox
Gray Fox
Bobcat
Fisher
Water slam
Mink
Muskrat
Coon
Beaver
Otter
I would also like to catch both the predator and water slams using just ONE #3 rubber jaw DLS
Just my thoughts

In Minnesota it would be;
Coyote
Red fox
Grey fox
Bobcat
Badger
Racoon
Fisher
Martin
Mink
Muskrat
Otter
Beaver
Weasel
Possum
I think that is it, just need a Martin and a Possum to have them all. These I would have to travel for. Never have seen either in this area.

Two buttermilk pancakes, 2 slices of bacon, 2 sausage links, 2 eggs. (Coffee is extra.) Duh?!

Every season that is safe, fun, an some critters is a Grand Slam to me.
Fresh Air, an beautiful sights is a bonus.

A Grand Slam Fur Harvesting here was to catch 1 individual animal that is COMMON to your area/county IN ONE DAY of the open season. That meant a muskrat, mink, beaver, opossum, skunk, coon, red fox, badger, and coyote catch all in one day. So many guys now tout that they are a Specialist Trapper, like "I am a coyote Trapper" or "I'm after a million coon" or "Mink is the ONLY One I'm after" or (heaven forbid) "I am a Beaver Trapper". Most have gotten a pretty good exposure to trapping the animal they seek from the Net but to put it all together with the gear and efficiency to pull a 9 species SLAM off in 1 day is SPECIAL and goes beyond anything I have seen on the NET.... When you started harvesting in the 60's you tried to capture everything on the ground you trapped. The money was in the mink and rats but many areas had bounties on the long hair and beaver were in concentrated spots, if any, and had a restricted season. In 1985 I hit the SLAM here with each1 of the above species taken in ONE Day and did it again in 1994. Got close several times with 8 species. Takes a decent sized water line and land line mixed with a daylight to dark mentality to take 9 different species in farm country in ONE 24 hour check requirement (Water Sets get an every other day check if on a one way slide drowner). Badgers are always the tough one to nab as they are getting ready to sleep and are very erratic this time of year. And you had to wait for beaver season to start on Dec. 1 for them to be in the mix...........So that's it for me - 9 different species in this farm country in one day to be called a GRAND SLAM here. Try it sometime as "THE QUEST" way out distances the money....................... the mike

Heaven forbid....lol

There are many days I wish we didn't have possum

Where the skunk and timber wolf????

I have a friend that has caught every furbearer in North America and it’s quite a list.

Grand Slam for me would probably have to be, Wolf, Black Bear, Mountain Lion, Wolverine.

As to fur bearers the only one I haven't caught Is a wolverine.

I’ve caught up to seven species in a single day.

I caught a martin and lynx and a wolf In one day.

Hey beav have you gotten the arctic fox, hognose skunk, hooded skunk, and spotted skunk?
