I'll check BE sets tomorrow. Put in a few baited under-ice sets today with my younger daughter. We had fun!!! We hope to put a few dozen more out tomorrow. As always great to be out!






Nice Rats Walt!

Finally got other pic thru from yesterday's check. Mink caught on bottom trap with one of my top and bottom edge stands at a bridge on a small creek. The top trap was iced in.

Didn't check any sets today. I was able to punch in 36 more baited sets on a different area from yesterday this morning. Cut a Christmas Tree with the family after that. Checked 2 sets on my walk off the Marsh, 1 snapped and 1 held a nice fresh rat! I'll check all sets tomorrow. Amazing being on the ice! Flurries at times made it feel like a trapping dream.....maybe only I have them? As always I look forward to the next time out!

Nice pics Deerfly. How much ice?

About 2-3". Less in some areas. Overall good ice

Nice pics guys.

Have not had traps out for two weeks. Rat trapping partner marked about 80 spots today. Good ice marginal sign. Tomorrow we will set. Got our two deer skinned and cut up. Did that last Tuesday, glad it was still warmer. Spent 3 hours grouse hunting on Thanksgiving Day and flushed no birds, or non that I could hear.

Way to go.

Checked sets today. More misses than normal on my wood stakes, changed up the trap a little. We'll see if it helps the next go round. Time to put out a few fisher boxes too. 2 different sets of cat tracks today, seems to be no shortage of them around. A few pics

Bottom edge set got this buck mink today. I like to set up against a weed edge as they are easily found for mink and rats. Tight chains!

Nice thanks for sharing. Shows you. Life under the ice is amazing!!!

37 sets, 19 rats today. We had 5 sprung traps so we need to get centered better on the runs. Set another 25-30 today. Will not be fun in the wind tomorrow. I need to stop after tomorrow as I have a medical procedure that will lay me up 7-10 days.

Today we checked 65 sets and got 33 rats. More smaller ones today and 28 of those were 2nd day check. Glad to out as temps are dropping, wind is increasing and we have over an inch already which was advertised as a "dusting". We pulled about 25 sets ad my partner will be running the line for the next week or more.

Checked sets today. Little windy and a few snow showers. Much the same as last check. Few more misses than previous years, still making adjustments. Moved a few sets. Placed 2 fisher boxes yesterday on fresh tracks and known locations for travel. No fisher today

Nice pic Nimzy! Are you full throttle for therapy, or just checking things out! Good luck

Nice catch Bryce! Wish you well in the procedure and a good recovery!

Checked otter sets today, all bottom edge 220 and 280s. 1 muskrat was the total. Hoping this front gets the otter moving.

I’m just getting started. Jinxed myself by posting a pic of clear ice. It was a white out this afternoon and the roads going home were terrible.

Mink were on the go, saw one cross a ditch before the snow and 2 or three different tracks in the snow.

Rats are a bit hard to come by so far, around here.

Checked some sets yesterday and some today with my youngest. Nice day to be out! We had alot of fun on the ice
A few pics

Did some work on the new cabin yesterday and picked up these guys as a bonus
