Of course not.

But that was the JTI Chairman's lame excuse for cutting
a week's worth of good weather trapping off our fall season.

No more blue muskrat now to clog up the rat market !!! LMAO

Same as always. Coyote, kit fox, gray fox, red fox, and if I’m lucky a couple bobcat. More than likely get some striped skunk and civet cats in the mix, probably badgers, and I might make a weasel box to toss in along the way for fun. Prices have never dictated how/if I trap.

We'll set for cats again and probably pick up a dozen coyotes in the process. Thing is, our coyotes are always worth $50 plus whatever you can get for heavy and semi heavy pelts. Still hoping to cover expenses plus a little this year. We'll see what western cats bring.

I will set for everything just like always. Beaver is supposed to be the best bang for the buck in my area besides cats but we only get one cat tag. Parvo has been present in the area so coyote may be harder to find this year.

Every fox in the county.

Setting an October fisher season in New York's southern tier is one of the dumbest things DEC ever did. Total disregard for harvesting this resource when it is not prime.They have a record of dumb things: when are they going to reopen the closed otter season in the Mohawk Valley and Catskill areas they closed over 20 years ago? When will they open the otter season in the southern tier; secret deals? When will they give Adirondack trappers a decent fisher season? They shortened it, but on the wrong end! Brilliant. They ask trappers for skulls, carcasses, log books, and beaver meat, but refuse to meet them half way on seasons!

nuisance beaver & mice. nothing else. no money, no trappy, not worth it.

I'll do some of these

Always like seeing pics of animals i never trapped so i can see what terrain they prefer.

Mid winter beavers, and a few marten.

Fisherman, It bite's my arse that NYSDEC could not open a December Fisher season in the Adirondacks, November 1-30 is still to early. I to have helped with information about skulls, logs, stomach contents & carcesses witch only lead to a changed season because of DEC said lower Fisher numbers, not because the Fisher numbers are down, It's trapper are not trapping Fisher that are not primed up & sickening low prices. DEC only looks at county & town Fisher numbers. I am the only one in the last twenty years that's traps Fisher in the town I'm in & three other towns around me. Because of early season & prices, My town & the other three that I trap have had zero as far as catches on DEC records. It's not just me, Other Fisher trappers have also not trapped for the same reasons.

Coyotes. And only coyotes. Have 3 game cameras on my driveway. I have 2 pictures of coyotes with a fawn in there mouth. Haven't trapped in four years. I own 155 acres and cought 31 coyotes off of this farm alone 4 years ago. Haven't trapped since.
Time to boil a few 550's and and put the population back in check.
The coyotes will go in a ditch. Not fighting ticks and fleas for 5 dollars a pelt.

Trapdye, I spoke to the DEC biologist from Warrensburgh at the NYSTA convention, asking when they would give us a better Adirondack fisher season. He seems like a decent guy. His reply was that they were going to meet soon to discuss season changes, but don't expect changes for a couple of years. How long has the Catskill/Mohawk Valley otter season been closed? When, if ever, will they open otter season in western New York?
I'm just pointing out how DEC operates.I think a lot of it stems from the arrogance of the Region 5 wildlife manager, whom I have lost all respect for. They ask for input, but will not listen

Having a total knee replacement on November 15 so maybe just some squirrels from around the bird feeders
