Caught a 64# female this morning on the same dam cross over that I caught the male on yesterday in the road side ditch. Set one 330 on that dammed section of creek that was down river from where I was trapping.

That's a pig bowhunt. TYT don't be scared of those coon, once you get the hang of them they're not that hard. Been mentioned alot, but Coon Creek Outdoors has the best fur handling vids around.

Son's (Tyler) 1st fox...was hard to not turn her loose, but it's his 1st and quite possibly only one he will catch. If there's a next one, if female, she will most likely be turned back.

2 today, I believe the big one is my biggest yet (will get a weight later). The small one had a bad day, tail all chewed up from another beav. Wow. I've trapped a lot of beaver and never saw a tail that chewed. Bet it's swimming would really suffer....but you fixed that lol

Set one 330 on this creek on sunday, monday had a tripped trap reset it and had nothing yesterday, today had a 54# beaver. It's been two day's since I caught anything in the road side ditch thought there would be at least one more, probably leave them couple more day's then pull them. It's been 3 or 4 days since I caught anything on the other creek, going to let them set maybe until the weekend i think there's still maybe one beaver left. It's suppose to warm up for a few day's hopefully the ice melts off the creek's, its starting to break up now I need to get in and set some more traps where I caught this one today.

Nice fox! First one have to have it tanned for him, with the feet on they look alot nicer that way. Yeah, that's my plan. Keep after those beavs, I never know when to pull my sets seems like I always have to come back later no matter what I do!

Third check third beaver, looks to be a kit. Pulled two body grips off the road side ditch and left the foot holds on the dam cross overs. Checked the other creek I'm trapping I thought there was at least one left, he been going around the side of my trap he had chew sticks pulled up in the hole so I readjusted the trap.

Set up a road side ditch yesterday that has 2 dams and a hut, set a ts85 on the cross over of one dam and had a 46#er this morning. That TS 85 is a nice piece of equipment, I currently run Bridger #5's, but I am interested in picking a few of these up.
