Good deal,like seeing trapper's have success,next catch will have spots,,,,,,

What an interesting week! We started very slow with day after day of no cat movement. Yesterday morning the transmission went out in the young men's truck. Even though the day started out on a sour note, they came onto a bull moose in the forest which made their day! Today was their last day, so we pulled all the marten sets and the farther cat sets. Today was a great day to end with. They landed their 3rd marten and got two cats! They were a couple happy trappers. I left a couple closer cat sets that still haven't had a fresh track since Opener.

Here they are with their father and the two cats.

Congrats Friar!! It is funny how things change so fast.

Maybe somebody else caught it.

That's possible,but I know the other trapper's in the area and they have not caught a cat either.Plenty of wolves around so they could have killed the cat,I've seen that once before.Good news for the young men and their Dad,not the truck problems.Enjoy the rest of the evening.

Rooting for you, as well as the other trappers trying.
Hope everyone has a successful season..

WTG! What a store for those young men to tell around the campfire for years to come!

The bobcat returned turned out to be a female no kittens guessing 21-22lbs last night low temps were in the high twenty’s this morning it was 34 perfect night to catch her I was able to release her added more bait and pulled the traps.So I was able to break in a Jake had her by three toes so no foot damage,hope she can find a mate and make some kittens in the future.

A couple more

That's pretty cool!

Normally it's too cold frozen feet to release female's,so it was the purrfect night for her return -5 for a low tonight.

Merry Christmas to all the trapper's out there,two more nights to see if another marten will show up.

Merry Christmas! My martin tags have been filled and working on catching a cat but nothing yet. Empty traps this morning gives me more time to spend with family today. Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Merry Christmas to you all!
I have pulled everything but 3 cat sets that were red hot but not a single track in a week now.

One more night to try to get that 2nd marten,I will keep and eye on the other bobcat bait a week from now and see if a cat finds it.If one shows up if we don't get too much snow I will set that up after the 1st of the year as of now the forecast is -20 with highs of 10 wed to sun.Have a great Christmas afternoon,heading over to a friends place to start making some pepper sticks.

Santa was good to me this morning, #2 Fisher, boxes are all pulled.

Nice I hope you can get one of your cats to come back through,never cut a fisher track this year,but the line was really short this year.

Way to go, every day is like a kid's Christmas, you never know what you are going to get until you look under the tree!

Way to go backroad, nothing like holding out to the last minute!
Well said Friar!

Had a cat check out one of the other fisher boxes. Stepped all over in front of the box but never stuck his head in for the bait.
