Got full compression, but at idle speeds it sounds different...a little tinny hollow sound. When the marine shop opens on the second I'm going to get their opinion.

Pretty high % of supers with nice size castors on the big river. I think I’m running about 70% blanket and super blanket right now.
On the check before last 6 out of 8 were supers.

Scored another on the apple-on-a-stick set this early morning check. You can see it floating. Well kinda dark picture

Way to “stick it” to ‘em!

Just putting up and skinning today.

The big ones are more work BP,but a better pay day.

We’re filling boards here

Couple of beaver today and in these parts these critters like hanging around beaver ponds too.

Nice cat J. Always nice when you can get them too. What are your section of cats doing for prices?

Some nice big beaver being put up!
It's that time, the auction I'll be selling some at is around month away

Probably get somewhere between $50 and $100 for a cat. Definitely no where near western cat prices.

Picked up a 48# one on the new property I mentioned before. Not a lot of sign but some on the creek running behind it. They have a few runs coming into this place and he was caught in one of those.

48 lbs should stretch blanket. Good job.

Thanks BP.

I have never trapped beaver much before this year and don’t have boards made up, so probably selling what I have green. I normally finish all fur so it pains me to do this, but just not set up at the moment to finish the beaver.

Nice beaver Tony, what is on the boards behind the beaver, fur out.??

Got 15 sets in on some beaver we hammered on 2 weeks ago. Hope to get twice that many in tomorrow. Trapping Mo River and it’s very low. Saw a bunch of slides and working’s that we couldn’t get the boat in close enough to set. They nailed it when they called it The Big Muddy. Step out of the boat and sink 2 foot in silt and muck.

Red and grey fox. Bellies showing so tough to see. Have a fan blowing on them so had the bellies facing out.

Gerry set this colony today, probably be skinning again soon.



We’ve got 12 on the boards. Just a couple more in my freezer, then we’ll start on Gerrys.

Those are some nice fox stretches Tony

Newfox. I love the board for two smalls on one side. I'm going to have to make me one. What a room saver. Very nice
