I am waiting on my partners and took a walk around here this morning. I see the 4 Government dogs are back too.


I have nothing clever to put here.

I put out 17 of my 220 cubbies and 10 footholds today. I set one property real heavy. I have released 7 cats the last two years and caught one during season last year on that property.

We got about 25 sets out today but we sure didn't see much for sign. We will try for another 30 tomorrow in a different area and check the couple of footholds we put in today. The rest will wait until Monday to check. Good luck everyone.

One of the extra upsides for bear baiting, they draw cats if there are any around. Fisher are frequent visitors as well. Good places to look for sign if you know where people had them.

We went to a new area "in the blind" yesterday and I was amazed at the cat sign. I wish it were closer so we could run cages, snares and footholds but hopefully SOMETHING connects for these guys.

For guys who have caught both, why is marten fur so much better than wild mink...? Just a lot silkier, denser, silkier & denser?? Why is sable 4-5x more valuable than wild mink on average...?

Good luck Rob,it would be nice for you guys to score on a bobcat in the new area,as for marten fur value ???Marten fur is silker and loner fur than mink think the ranch raising part has merits also,their fur is really nice plus a marten is usually bigger than a wild mink,good luck everyone.

Because we won't supply them for $10. Barely get us to do it for $50.
