just my 2 cent worth, should get back your tools then

What tools? I gave him one to try to duplicate.

Year ago the shops teacher got a plasma cutter and taught his students some cutting. Lined up 2 leaf springs and a wack of front drive shaft to weld to. then plumbing pipe. 15 cutters later, those went for hot-cakes at the Thompson fur tables
bottom heavy and great cutting, out preformed the diamond drill they were selling

Yes, Canadian girls are the best!

Bobcats are registered ,will turn in all the pelts for the tanned fur project at our spring meeting in Blackduck April or May.Taking in the Roseau Warroad hockey game tomorrow evening in Roseau,should be a good game,both teams have talent.Calling it a night.

Scott,any picture's of your put up cat?It will be a nice tanned fur piece you'll remember forever.Hope all the cat trapper's can score on a cat before Sunday.Thank's to everyone that has posted to this thread and shared picture's.

Just looked at the number's,look's like the thread will be 40 pages,might get to 800 replies and 40 thousand views....WOW!

Guess I jinx this thread,no cat trapper's have checked in today.If you still have sets out,good luck,heading to the hockey game's in awhile.

I pulled the couple of cat sets I had out today. I have a couple of coyote snares behind the house but that is all I have left out. I may get after the Beaver again in a couple of weeks after the cold snap breaks.

Rob,hopefully you can snare a cat in your coyote snares,are they on a bait pile?I moved a couple weasel boxes today,a couple more check's.

Rick,
No they are just trail sets but I guess snagging that big Tom on one of them wouldn't be out of the question. I hate snaring bait piles this time of year for fear of getting Fisher. In all honesty, I hope I don't get a Cat this week. I have too many other things going on with shows the next 4 or 5 weekends all over the state. I need to get rid of some of my junk so I can have room to move in the garage.

Empty traps for me again today. No cat sets out but do have some foothold and snares out for coyote so a cat is a possibility. 2" of snow last night, hope to see some movement other than deer. Rob, I can understand the issue of possibly catching a fisher. Seems like there's been an over abundance of them around here this year.

Yes, but I sure couldn't get any to commit during season! I surrendered a Marten and a Fisher after season.

Released 3 before season, caught my two and released another two after season. Neighbor managed to fill his tags but was after raccoon.

Nothing today here either. Anything that wants to get caught needs to do it tonight. I am pulling the line tomorrow afternoon. I had a wonderful season and enjoyed all the time in forest. I hope you guys connect. This has sure been a crazy winter!
Jim

Back home from the hockey games,the girl's won 5 to 3.The boy's game was one of the sloppiest game I've watched in a long time.Too good of talent on both teams to see that much slop,went to overtime Roseau won 3 to 2.We'll see if I can catch another couple weasels in the next two days,hopefully some males.Good night everyone,was -6 going to the hockey game,it's warmed up to 6 above now.

Hope the cats come back through for you Jim,it's been an odd winter for sure.Tim,hope those coyotes come back and you can snag a couple more,Scott do you still have your cat set out?It's been watching this thread take off.I have a few things to take care of today and start packing for my work get away.Have a good day everyone.

Morning all! Sitting here with the dog on my lap and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee. Will probably pull everything tomorrow or Friday morning. Will be taking all my furs along to the winter meeting this weekend in Baxter. Hate to see bare wall where once my hard earned furs hung but that's all part of the game. Some will get tanned, some will get sold while a fair portion will get donated to the tanned fur project. Hope everyone has a good day today!

Good morning

No spots 0ne beav. in a 14

I has one scrawny coyote in my 3 snares behind the house.
