Nothing like fresh Grouse

Nice bonus

Thursday is expected to be a Seattle Clipper with 12 inches of snow dumped along the boarder...good luck

were the grouse evening budding in the birch trees; those ones we call "pot grouse"

Male adult marten 22" the bobcat adult female 2,3 year old judging from the teeth 40" another poor belly.We use to get a lot more with decent bellies lately they have been 2,3 or 3 bellies,been a few year's since we've had a good 1,2 belly.This bobcat will end up at the MTA tanned fur project along with some other furs,coyote,fox,mink and muskrats for now.I talked with the other trapper about an hour ago,very little critter movement for them as well 26 boxes 1 marten.Before all this wet heavy snow there was quite a few marten tracks,hope they start hunting again other wise we might not get our 4.Going to be below zero for the next few nights so that might kick start them a little,have a good evening everyone.

As 330 would say dark in the swamp,-7 here in the northern swamp.We might see the sun today,that would be nice for a change,then more snow for tomorrow,hopefully the heavier snow amounts will be further south this time around.12" in the last 10 days,it's getting harder getting around out in the big woods,some roads they don't plow and I'm on 3 of them.Good luck everyone,heading out to recover a marten or two and maybe another bobcat and possibly a fox.Have a great day....

8 below warmed up to -3 now,not a marten track to be found,they'll have to get out hunting pretty soon,when they do the 7 boxes should get a couple.Caught a yearling bobcat today,frozen foot in the Jake,I wont release a cat with a frozen foot and for sure a smaller cat wouldn't have a chance with the snow we already have.Saw two coyote tracks today,first tracks in about a week it started down one trail towards a snare,but veered off 20 some feet from the snare.I hung another snare further back on one of his tracks.We'll see if he comes back not much left there for bait I need to bring another rib cage over there.

Another bobcat for the MTA Tanned fur project,guessing 34" put up 15 lbs.

Mary and I went out this morning. We caught a fisher haven't caught one for eight to ten years. So far one marten and one fisher. Supposed snow tomorrow 5 to 9 inches. See what happens.

Quite a few miles on the pickup today, more than a few on foot, seen two partridge.

Final score partridge 2, Steve zero.

It's about time to put the weasel line out

I put out 5 sets on Sunday and managed to get my limit today! Of course it was on the last trap so I had to go back through the line and pull everything. Awesome day!

Very nice congrats

Nice,I have arch opening doors on my marten boxes to avoid catching fishers.I'm hoping this snow slides further south this time,they need a white Christmas we've had 12" of snow over the last 10 days so we are good up here for awhile.Good luck tomorrow,we need the marten to be out hunting for food soon other wise I don't know if we will get our 4 marten still 4 nights for them to get out and about.

It has been tough going here with hardly any animal movement. We set on sign Sunday but haven't had a snapped trap since. Hopefully this snow and cold gets them moving.

Very nice.Congrats.

MnJag!! Awesome action on the double. I take the darker, larger one is a male?

Morning,looks like the snow is mostly missing us this time,just a dusting so far.Went to the lake last night to visit with some of the guides,they started to fish on Monday,fishing has been pretty good.Warmed up during the night,last evening it had dropped to -14 it's zero now.Getting ready to head out and see if any martens were out making tracks,we'll find out in the next couple of hours and maybe a coyote came back?

Daylight in the Swamp!!!

Snowed Here a cpl inches with snow coming down till midnight

Lucky night, picked up my 1st for the season last night. One of the biggest males I have ever caught.

Congrats,we might get an inch up here,no tracks anywhere today.All that means is we are in front of their return,hopefully the return will be before Sunday,the two cats I'm waiting for should be back within a week.

Congratulations on the catches every one! I'm kidding out on this year's fisher season in exchange for a trappingvtrip to Kansas. No fishers here but the cat sign looks promising. Only been here a few days but having a great time. No snow with the weather being low 60's during the day and down to mid 20's at night. Fur looks good right and hope to pile more up. Meanwhile I'll just have to live vicariously through T-man! Good luck everyone!
