Thanks for all the kind words guys! This weather has been crazy!!!! Yesterday it was +42, today +30 and snowing! Nothing seems to want to move right now except for the otters. Picked this one up in a Bronce set. Had it right beside a choke point with a 330. He wasn't going anywhere Be safe out there guys!

Nice. I had one that was going around a 280, (after seeing a buddy get caught there, earlier), so I put a V-14 in the go-around, a foot to the left of the 280. Next check, it hit the V-14, then dove into the 280.
Just doing what I want now.

Always pays to gangset even if two traps are on one critter-like insurance policy,lol.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Next check, it hit the V-14, then dove into the 280. Anybody ever had a wolverine do this? A wolverine in a foot trap is a gamble, one in a 330 not so much!
you can vote your way into socialism, but you will have to shoot your way out.

Nope but I did get one in 2 footholds. One by a front foot, and one by the tail!. To make matters worse, I didn't see that happening, and had 10' of chain on both traps. What a mess!!!

Well the weather isn't cooperating to much for trapping! Last run it was snowing pretty good they said 1-3 inches. Today it was snowing all freaking day and we got maybe a foot. In between the storms the critters ran hard! But of course my gear was buried And now they are calling for 5 days of ......RAIN! Did manage to pick up a little red. I had placed a 220 over a crack in the ice on a creek knowing something was gonna come out of it. Sure enough walked up and saw it was fired got all excited thinking it was a otter only to pull up a muskrat Going to wait for this chinook to bow to dig gear out again. Besafe out there guys!

Boco I am getting plenty of that especially after today! I run a little swamp back behind my house. Normally I catch anywhere between 8 to 20 fox a year back there. This year has been totally off. Picked these two up today. The light one decided to hop through a snare so hip caught. The pretty one the voles decided they were hungry and went in right behind the left shoulder blade! The chinook arrived and it is warming up pretty good here +39! Be safe out there guys!
