We are getting pretty close to season here, so use this thread to put up your catches, sets, tips, or whatever else is happening on your line like we did last year!

I'll probably be starting around Thanksgiving down here in TX!

Starting on November 1st this year, will probably make my own thread entirely in the trapping only forum so I don't clog up this thread.

I doubt anyone will--clog up this thread. So clog away.

I'll probably run a coon/mink line around the first of December, and will start getting after the coyotes once deer season is winding up.

Awesome TN trapper. I'm hoping to start soon. What traps are you running for yotes?

I'm mainly running MB-550s and Bridger #2s.

Awesome, I like the 550s I have some mbs and some dukes, I caught a few in the mb 450 last year in some fox sets

Y'all are both way better than I am, I have almost 4 dozen footholds for yotes and I still haven't caught one.

Cool, I'm gonna run 450s, 550s, bridger and duke 1.75s

It's not how many traps you have or how fancy your equipment is (yes, a large number of traps and good high-end equipment is very nice, don't get me wrong) but rather it depends on location, work ethic, perseverance, and the ability to learn, adapt, and keep trying. You'll do well, just keep at it, keep your eyes and ears open, and before long you'll be famous!

I'll try again this year but mainly go for water trapping since I enjoy it way more. Also, that's a pretty funny joke you said there.

I am new. All I catch is coons and possoms Season starts November 15.

And keep your mouth shut!!!

After 2 checks I'm up to 3 coon in dps and a red fox

Nice catch rattrapper!

Well Tom hope trapping is going well. For me I am done. This has been the worst year for coyote trapping. I only caught two coyotes. Had traps driven over by the farmer, nine total out of twenty, one stolen and then I ruined one hide pulling it off. So any beaver trapping or otherwise. Take care my friend.

You take care also. Good to hear from you.

Good start to the season rattrapper!

I was planning to set traps on Thanksgiving, but the forecast was calling for tons of rain, so I had to post-pone to next week. Normally rain isn't a factor in my part of Texas, but it was this year!
