With today's fur prices are you going trap and if so what species? I will not trap mink or rats.

I am gonna trap whatever is dumb enough to step on my pan. Gonna target K9s, bobcat, fisher, coon and probably throw out a couple mink sets. Not doing it for the money, doing it because I enjoy doing it.

I can't be picky. In previous seasons I have caught a lot of coon. I hope to get other species this season in addition to the coon. There is no money in east coast pelts. I do keep the hides for crafts and projects. Nothing goes to waste.

Just nuisance beavers..and get paid

Whatever steps on pan

Some of this and some of that....

A little bit of anything and everything.

Not a whole lot but enough to scratch the itch

Enough coyote sets to run a short loop with the boy on our way to daycare. Dozen sets probably.

Bout all I ever trap is beaver and coyotes. This year I'm gonna catch some mink...or try. Never targeted mink in 50 years but I've seen more mink this summer than you can shake a stick at! Quite a few colors as well. I'm told it's because of all the mink farms that were around here in South wi. Might make me a set of luxurious mink overalls.....just for clubbin' and stuff. Lol

Where I live we don't have any beaver, I don't have a cat tag, I have a fisher tag and we can catch 2 otter. We also don't have any good cats here so the species we have here
are rats, coon, coyote, red fox, mink, which I will run lines for those species roughly in the order I listed them as to time and effort spent. Been real dry here so many rat areas have no rats. Plenty of coon but need to wait about 3 weeks on those. We have low grade coyotes here and decent reds.

I will start out with rats then go to a few mink and later try to fill my Fisher and Otter tags. Maybe a few coyotes mixed in. Damage control Beaver are also on the agenda. Will try to trap only Prime mink and they will probably go in the freezer waiting for price increases.

Just nuisance beaver on my own land.

Coyotes,cats,beaver maybe a ringtail and fox. Gonna be a late start, have some new ideas to play with plus i bought a foot snare to try.(Select-a-catch)

I've got a small "niche market" for taxidermy-skinned critters. I'll do same as normal, with a few red fox, coyotes, marten, and striped skunks. Also a few muskrats mainly for carcasses for marten bait. Can't imagine not trapping!

Big thanks to you, AL for leaving all your rats for me !!!!

I will trap what makes me happy and that is fox and mink. You won’t see me after raccoon, beaver or coyote much as the fun stops the second they hit the truck box.

I have a need for a handful of Rats and Mink, but will not trap for market at these prices yet.

I will trap coyotes for two landowners. Fox on a couple game lands. And always run a mink & beaver line. All my furs will be tanned this tear, which i tan myself

Everything and as many as possible.

Coyotes 365 LOL!

I'm going to trap raccoons, opossums, skunks and mink on my farm, just to keep their numbers low, so they leave my birds and fruit alone. I don't plan on selling any of them. They are to close to worthless to waste time putting up. I'll probably donate them to Wilmington College again.
