Good Luck to all my fellow NYS trappers who strung steel today.

May there be tight chains and full pickup beds tomorrow morning
for all my brother trappers !!!

Trap a couple for walleyed tomorrow
as we are still beached from any
turkey, deer, or fur chasing activity.

Holding off some for MAYBE a little better quality.

Not stringing any steel until 1st or 2nd week of Nov.. Beaver & Fisher. But thanks and good luck to all.

Hunting / trapping, don't know what to do first.

Put three sets behind the house last night
Had mange on all four legs

Thanks walleyed but too busy to even think about catching worthless fur, maybe when water season opens.

Bob, sorry to hear you can’t get out there, we all know how much you love to catch those rats. Doesn’t look like I’m going to do much if any trapping. Have a bunch of work lined up. Hope your health issues improve Bob.

Grab your walker walleyed and go get em.

Hunt first, have fun. WAIT for the fur to prime up more, yes, you'll catch less, but get more money with less skinning and fleshing.

Spikes on the bottom of your boots, knee pads and walking sticks with really sharp points, that will keep you steady on the ice. Wallowing around in waders may be a bigger more dangerous effort. Hope you get to have a ball! Those upstate New York rats are gorgeous!!
