Leaving early Friday morning and working 12 hours shifts through Thursday, today is the day to load the gear in the truck. I was planning on both kids joining me for 14 days but the youngest doesn't want to miss her basketball games and the oldest has events that only allow us to be gone for a weekish. Plan on setting for 6 days and pull on the 7th. This will be our 3rd trip down with more property every year. Looking forward to warmer temps and time with my oldest. Always super friendly people and we might try to sneak in a barrel race for my kid on a friends horse. Hope to find some cats and odd colored skunks again.

Forecast is calling for temps in the 50s. I had buckets of waxed sand brought down over the summer. Regardless of weather, we will give it a good effort, eat well, and enjoy another adventure.

Well, 10 degrees this morning and the red clay is about the most miserable stuff I have ever tried to chip a trap bed out of. We stayed at it from daylight until dark. Pretty sure we will have some success tomorrow. Supposedly going to have a ice storm roll through, then a few days of rain. This will definitely be our most challenging trip but we didn't drive over a thousand miles to sit in the hotel. Will definitely be making memories

2nd day, 9 coons and 3 skunks. Still battling frozen clay and a ice storm for tonight. We managed to get more sets in and had a all time best, 40 cc of essence from one skunk. 👌

Ice storm was no joke, spent the whole day in 4 wheel drive. Every set was iced over. We managed to get a few coon and 1 coyote. Slammed in some more sets until we ran out of waxed sand. Ran back to town and picked up some sand and a new weapon to fight the frozen clay. Rain forecasted for the next few days. Well be after it daylight until dark until we're out of traps.

Alright now. That'll certainly help chip through and make a bed. Way to stick to it. That one skunk sure was nice and what a load of essence. Good luck the next couple days

42 degrees and rain today, a lot of sets under water with the frost still a few inches thick. Managed 4 coon and 2 coyotes and missed a few I assume because the trap beds are no longer solid as the clay chips thaw under them. More sets going in daily and found a pond with some beaver sign so we sunk a few 330s in the runs we could find. Never thought we would be under ice trapping down here. 3 inches of clear ice.
