Merry Christmas everyone, really happy to see the fur pics! Dad pulled traps yesterday morning after we headed home (another skunked check) had another refusal that didn’t want to climb the tree so we left 4 tags unpunched which is fine. We also ran less traps this year than we ever have, mostly due to my knee.

Next year is another year to get after them again.

Now I can try to thin out a few yotes around the farm

Been a real slow and weird year. We are three short of a limit. We’ve only not filled out two other times since the 80s. Ran less traps as well trying not to go over the limit. I actually put out 4 new sets in a area as a last hurrah. Did notice another trapper must’ve thought the same thing and set up on a road we already had set up.

Hoping to get the last 3 tomorrow it’s been done before.

Big one was 12.4 lb. So not bad but the small one was tiny at 6.1lb

Added to all my baits this weekend and we are suppose to get some measurable snow in the next two days and colder weather. That should kick start the baits.

Tim and other's hope a cat finds your baits,pulling for you and other;s that have some cat sets out.I'm probably done for this season it all depends if a cat finds the one bait I still have going.It's been a good year for my little little line I had out this year 5 coyotes,2 bobcats released the one and 1 marten thats what the MTA Tanned Fur Project will get so far this year.

Thanks Rick. Checking traps today will be difficult as we have whiteout conditions this morning. 8" of new snow last night and 30 mph winds makes seeing the road somewhat difficult. Buried my truck in the ditch once this morning. Fortunately my neighbor came along with his tractor and pulled me out. Home now and will wait til the plows are out. Be safe everyone.

I drove the 4 cat sets that I left out and not a single track.
However, I did get some good shots from the trail cam at my hunting land. I built that cubby when I opened up a shooting land and it has been good to me. I hope to get it set tomorrow.

Well got the two marten skinned and on the boards, both healthy males. Will post a pic after they are turned. The one is the lightest colored one we have ever caught.
