Nice catches Rick! Glad to see someone finally connect! Got about 3" of fluff this morning and not much sign of anything moving. Did find fisher tracks along the river but it never came close to my fisher box. I wasn't entirely skunked today as the last snare I checked held this nice red.

Great pictures,went to the hockey game the boys looked sloppy they won 3-0 they beat some really good teams this year,but theyll have to play better than last night to keep their winning streak going 8-0 for now.Hope that bobcat came back last night he's been MIA since season opened he's due back soon.Have a great day everyone and good luck on your traplines.

Happy Birthday Jacob! What a great way to spend a birthday! Great catch pictures MOTR! Bet it'll take a month of Sundays to get that grin of your daughters face! Caught another coyote in a snare today and seen the tracks of another close by. Might have been a sibling and hope it's waiting got me tomorrow in another snare I have close by. Found fresh fisher tacks by the river thus morning so set up a fisher box under a bridge. Would be nice to close out my season with two, then I can work my at cat.

K9man, I spent most of the evening picking burrs out of that butt sniffer and it payed off as he looks good on the boards! Sad to think he may only be worth $15-$20 so will probably send him in to get tanned or donate him to MTA's tanned fur program along with some other furs I have for them. I scored my second and final fisher today and of coarse started seeing all sorts of fisher sign while pulling up all my fisher traps.
Rick, I'm surprised as you for not connecting with that cat yet! As much action you've had earlier I as sure you would have connected by now but then that's trapping for you!
Think I may have found some cat tracks but could never find a clear track to make a positive ID. Was going to make a few cat sets on another piece of property but when I stopped in to touch base with the LO discovered the place had been sold! Nice people but they declined me permission this year since they had just moved in. Had a nice chat with them, gave the dog and their kids a treat (not the same treats mind you) and left them my card. I trap pocket gophers on that farm and offered to continue to do so in hopes of granting permission next year.

As regular as he was before season I thought within 3 days I'd have him,but like you said that's trapping and cats are cats.You cant catch them when they don't come back,he knows there food there he'll be back when he's ready,maybe he wants to be a Christmas cat????????????It's close to home so he will get a ride in the Chevy this year or next year lol.The other location where you got your cat last year,still nothing,but I'm keeping bait there it's a matter of time there too.No traps there yet,that might be a next year cat I'm thinking.
