I got 4 sets out today for coon and rat, goin to set more tommrow and I will let yall know if I catch anything. I did catch this mouse at my grandmas though

Well nothing the sets today, will keep you posted

Right on! Looks like that mouse really got hammered lol

yeah, my one dog proof was knoked over and the bait was spilled evrywhere so i will see if i can get this sucker tonight.

i caught a few coons tongiht, will send pics later

In the photo where the coon is in a foothold there is another in a dp farther back in the culvert

Nice job trapper E

Thanks, yall got coons in Australia?

No,but I wish we did!
That looks like a nice pelt on that first one and I reckon the other one will look pretty good too once it’s dry.

i sold em all to a taxidermist for 45 bucks, making way more then if id skin em out an sell em

but yeah i ike dealing with dry non muddy coons but the ones in the culvert where mud balls for sure

Wow! Thats a really good price.

45 each or for both?
Either way its a good wad o cash to make from 2 animals!

45 for all 3, there is another coon in a dp farther back in the culvert

Here’s what I caught Friday

I got some coyote sets out, I have been deer hunting alot but I got a few coon sets out also. Will keep you posted

Got 2 rabbits with the 22mag while going around the line this morning

nice, nothing in my coon sets but i will check my coyote sets after school

Good job… keep after them E … good luck on the k-9’s

I actually did make a catch today! Caught this little house mouse at my grandparents

Thanks savel! Nothing in my coyote sets but a deer sprung one there is a front coming so I am planning on resetting my traps tommrow for freezing temps

I have been seeing a nice fox at one of our dams at around 4:30 in the morning when I go to check traps.
I got a shot at him with the 22mag yesterday but I missed.
He was there again this morning so I put a couple of dirt holes in.
Also a lot of pigs around this dam so I might nab one of them.

This is a before and after of one of them


It was absolutely delicious

I’ll have some more pics to post tomorrow

Got a small fox in a skull set with a bridger 1.65

Another one this morning in the same set

Dang nice, caught this coon today and the pic is bad but I had to dispatch quick so he didn’t put his head back in the hole

Nice job trapper E
I got another 2 foxes this morning
Here is one

Sweet man! It seems like foxes are like coons in Australia

In what way?

Well I target coons a lot cause they are around in numbers and it seems like foxes are around in numbers and you target them and catch them regularly

Also Ethan, that rabbit looks amazing!

Well yall cauught a coon and a mouse a few days ago, can’t post the pics though, sorry guys

Got another fox today

Sweet!

Caught a squirrel today but something ate it before i got to it.

Do you sell squirrel pelts?

Yea, i have a guy who buys them off me.

You guys have red squirrels in Alaska?

Thats all we have, we don't have any other kinds of squirrels up here. Just reds.

TrapperE im glad to see your having some luck this season. Great price on your coons.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks, the one was in the trap you sent me! Also I set some muskrat traps today guys
All the little ditches I trap are like this one, full of rat sign!

Also coal creek kid, do you eat the red squirrels? A lot of people around here call them trash and say they don’t taste good but have tried em and they tasted good

Ive never eaten them, they dont have much meat so i just use the carcasses for bait. Maybe if you get like 30 of them you can make some chimpy chili

Ya lol, caught some rats today, will post pics in a few hours

Shot a handful of squirrels today. Fried, with a dash of salt and BBQ sauce.

Tasty lookin, here’s the rats I caught

This one was the only sizable one I caught, it’s in a 160 for reference but I wish I woulda caught some bigger ones but I will try again

How did you catch that one alive? Those are good sized rats, keep on catching them and keep an eye out for mink or weasel sign around where you're trapping them and maybe you can catch some bonus fur.

i caught the one alive because the water dropped a little bit

Nice looking rats, good job. I eat the red squirrels we have up here, they're pretty good just not much meat to be had.

You're doing good TrapperE ! Congrats !

Thanks guys

caught some more coons, will try and get a pic on here soon, got some muskrat traps out so i will let ya know how those go

Well got my muskrats stolen out of my trap but atleast the people left my colony traps up by the road, here’s a pic of some
coon

The last one is good sized I think!
