Yea, it's weird that I caught an otter my first year in a week, but it took me 3 weeks to get an ermine.

Congrats! They are a blast. Catch some more.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

So much fun to trap!


Wife: That's the 4th time you've gone back for dessert, doesn't that embarrass you? Me: No, I keep telling them it's for you.

Fun to catch but watch for fleas on them.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Downside is they're not worth a whole lot unless you can sell them to a taxidermist.

Nice! Can you come show my buddy how it’s done? Out of hundreds of sets, he has one ermine in 2 seasons…lol. I even bought him a weasel trapping video. All he gets is mice or empty traps. Triple Nickle (RIP) had them running all over his truck while he was baiting for yotes.
