Can everyone tell what they have caught this season? I would like to keep track bet that will be hard

Nothing yet

4 mice 3 moles

What's this thing you call a season? I trap all year long and have for nearly twenty years now.

I caught the rona twice so far , will follow and post when I start, if I start.

What can you catch year-round? Here trapping for coyotes is Nov. 15 to Feb. 28 and coons is shorter.

Season doesn't start here for most things until November 15th. A better time to ask the question for us fur trappers would be around the end of March.

I was meaning a live post of animals caught

I'm a NWCO or Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator. Basically pest control for wildlife.

You got squirrels, bats, rats, snakes in your attic call a NWCO.
Same for beaver, coyote, raccoon, etc.

It's a legitimate industry and regulated in almost every state.

A coon, a skunk, and 2 possum, lol.

Oh I see! I am not that hard up

Why do you want to keep track of what others catch?

J ust to see how many a "good" trapper gets. (I am not a good trapper)

Don't do that. There is a very diverse crowd here and what may be alot for some is few for others.

That and the days of the high price fur long liner are pretty much over for now. There are still a few punching in sets and moving down the line but by and large folks are nuisance trapping, adc or targeting very select top dollar stuff. And quite often are doing value added stuff like glands, skulls, tanned on top of that.

My point being thats it's not always about numbers. It can be profitability, targeting a specific problem animal or just pleasure.

Don't set yourself up for disappointment by comparing to others.

BTW, I actually catch very few compared to others as my task is solving the problem and that doesn't always mean catching.

Three coyotes in a week out of twenty traps. Pulled today and had two set where the coyote stepped on the pan but the clover hulls prevented it from firing. That's it for clover hulls for me. Farmer ran over six set yesterday and three more today so pulled all the traps. One trap went missing and no catch circle, it was there yesterday as I put the hammer lure on the set.

28 traps set. Checked two mornings. Caught 14 coyotes, 2 coons an a possum. That was all I needed to scratch the itch and fill cages to collect urine. Shoulda had a few more that I ran off while checking early.

4 beaver. 57, 45, 40 lbs & a lil one. Kinda wished I waited a few more weeks, but couldn’t. Gonna start up 2nd week of November again. It’s a target rich environment around here. Just beavers for now, I’ll start the other critters towards end of November.

Nice!

Your Killin it girl!!
