Nice video Waldo! Or did I used to call you Vern? I don't remember. That's Waldo to you. Vern is now your neighbor.

In all fairness, it was MRS Dead Coyote that showed me the move. She grabbed DC by the scruff of his neck and whipped him across the room. I just applied the tactic to cats. Now DC Junior, he just goes hand to hand with anything! An easy way to release a cat is to grab it by the tail. Give it a bit of a snap and it will stun the cat long enough to release it. Note. Kids don’t try this Old fools have at it and let us know how it worked out for you.

Afternoon all. I just got in from checking my short line. 2" of new snow over a 1/4" of ice. No spots or otter but picked up one ermine. Had a large buck mink steal my otter bait and then torment me from across the pond. Remained everything and then set out a few mink boxes. It's becoming personal between this otter and me!

Picked up a roadkilled mink on the way home, in good shape too. Not enough to cover gas but will get donated to the Tanned Fur Project.

You guys can't get a break this season,too warm,too much rain,now too much snow for the ice to get safer.The cats should be out hunting with these cooler temps coming,hope some snare's or foothold's start producing for you guy's.1 shrew in the weasel boxes today,the weasel's should be out tonight,have 5 boxes still out.Have a good night everyone. Yes, this weather is "challenging" to say the least. No snow or cold and now snow over poor ice. The swamps still aren't froze enough back here to be able to travel on. I may run the Tundra around in a couple of days and make a critter highway. Everything is lazy and will follow a path if there is one. The loggers were trying to get into the Ash just South of me today with an ATV and a drag to try to freeze down a road. The BURIED that machine.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Coyotes where on the move last night as a neighbor had some on his camera and forwarded pics to me. Guess I'll be checking that out sometime today. We have about 2" of snow in as many days, should make for some good tracking. Hope to catch my problem otter soon. Still a bit early to check and the past few checks have been seeing critters on the move so decided today to head out a little later in hopes of making a few more catches. Have a good day everyone!
