I assume from the back foot catch I was either a little far from the dirt hole or the cat circled the set. 2024-25: Beaver 11, Bobcat 4, Coyote 11, raccoon 6, opossum 3, muskrat 7, badger 1

No, most of the put-up fur is from the past couple of seasons. This years cats have been skinned and put in the freezer. Been running pretty hard the past month though, and on track for my best year on cats yet as of now. I shut down the last of my line yesterday with a 4 cat day, one released. I'm on a 3 week hiatus now. I usually shut down for a week from Christmas to New Years as my lines are too far from home to keep running through the holidays. This year my break is two weeks longer as I go in for my next series of lumbar injections early January to keep me going for the remainder of the season. I'll start putting up fur during my shut down though, so never completely out of the game. Lifelong NY trapper, now in the high desert of Nevada since '07.
