Yes got some buckets in but haven't seen em come back through yet. Got some wolf snare pens we're going to open up soon. The wolves don't usually come through till late February/ March. Days are getting longer, good to see the sun again even if it's for just a little bit.

The kids still have smiles on their faces so they must be happy with their catches. Stay warm!

They're getting $10 to $12 for stretched and dried squirrels which adds up pretty quick. It's been a lot of fun watching them run the line this year.

That's a big hole. Had any come up out of the hole? Kinda didn't like above freezing temps about as much as below zero when I was beaver trapping!
Got some big uns there!

When we started getting the sets in it was 50 above and in the 20's at night so we didn't get the layer of ice so we had one out of the hole. Temps dropped after and we now have an inch or so of ice over the hole and no more beaver out of the hole. [Linked Image]
