Awesome !

Really enjoy threads like this. Really appreciate you taking the time

Every day is dumber than the last. Sloppy wet red dirt is miserable to do anything in. We walked in to alot of the sets and pulled a handful definitely not going to be drivable anytime soon. Caught 3 beaver, 12 coon, 2 possum, and a skunk. Humbled by the number of misses we had. I know it's from sloppy bedding, did the best we could with the clay chips we had at the time. We for sure missed 2 bobcats and 4 coyotes. I remade as best as I could, the local dirt seeps through the sifter which is difficult to try to get a set to look decent. Amazing how many places that clay ends up, truck is trashed inside and out. It's like neversieze

Enjoying this thread.

Pretty miserable conditions. You guys take care .

Long day remaking sets, only a handful left under water. 48 degrees with no rain or wind. First comfortable day of this trip. 6 coyotes, 6 coon, and 3 possum. Was hoping for more skunks and a few cats for this trip but happy with today's catch given the weather we have had. Pretty sure we cleaned out the beaver from the small pond but we will leave the traps in place to make sure. If it doesn't rain anymore we should finish our last few days with decent numbers.

weather makes or breaks a trapline. keep after it I'm sure some cats will visit your truck. nice job on the k9s

Thanks for the journey!!!

Not much to show for our efforts today. 1 coyote and 3 coon. Rained last night and they are calling for rain all day today and tonight. Majority of sets look like puddles.

I spent a couple years southwest of you in Lawton. The weather is no joke in OK and the red dirt has it's own challenges. Sure wish snares were legal there!

Keep at it, sounds like you're having a great time with your daughter.

We are having fun. It's all the little things unique to this part of the country. One ranch had a bull bust a 6 wire fence to go fight with the neighbors bull this morning and we were first on scene, used the Tacoma like a cutting horse and got him back across the road before the owner showed up. Spent the next hour mending fence and pushing cows to another pasture. Pain in the neck for the owner but fun for us. Yesterday we put the sneak on a armadillo, kid got it on video. Another land owner also has exotics so we learned some of the ins and outs of breeding and auctions. Seen and dealt with a lot of feral dogs. Found a couple boar skulls and some shed antlers. Our eyes are peeled as we're driving around because we never know what is next.

That sounds like a dang blast!

Sure does!

We have been in a years long drought. Doesn't rain for months..... until trapping season. Go figure .

Supposed to be 60s and sunny next week. Hope you all hammer them.

Little better production today. 5 coyotes, 6 coon, and 5 possum. Windy and 36 degrees, no rain for the first time in a while. Pull day tomorrow.

Got lazy and only put 1 set here. Wish I would have had a couple more, looks like at least 3 others paid this one a visit. I would have blamed wolves if I was home and couldn't see tracks.

Your getting it done when the weather cooperates

Pull day today. 26 degrees this morning and all wet sets were frozen solid. We had a 20 year old guy that wants to trap ride with us for the day, he had a ton of questions. We will shower up and go to dinner with one of the landowners then catch a few hours of sleep and head north. 1057 miles and we should be home by 7 or 8 tomorrow night. We gave it a good go and learned a lot. Kid is already excited for next year. First time we seen the sun since we got here was today, go figure.

Nice thread. Thanks for taking us along. Drive safe
