laugh we still have plenty of traps in the truck that need to be set. Only added 1 new set today and didn't remake 2 coon catches due to the mud. Kinda ran out of ambition fighting the conditions, decided to head in for lunch with some friends. Stopped by Atwoods and picked up a gallon of some kind of boar attractant, might try to make a few dirt holes for pigs. I wonder what the set back should be 12 back and 4 to the right lol. Still snowing as of 5:00

Looks like 5 inches here and still snowing a bit, this is going to be a sloppy mess in a day or two.

You would do better tot try and snare a pig than to try and hold one by the foot

I have had a bunch set my MB550s off by stepping on/in them. Same result as a deer, empty, sprung trap at end of tight chain
Not saying it is impossible but definitely low odds

Hope y'all start stacking the fur and stay warm wink

Looks like the only thing that moved last night was feral dogs and deer. We did find 3 coyote tracks and one worked a set from the side. Most of the side roads were garbage and probably a dozen or so vehicles in the ditches. Poured a half gallon of pig goop out and hung a cell camera to see if they are still in the area. I'm sure we will be reworking some sets tomorrow as we couldn't even find most of the DPs, we'll dump and rebait. High hopes for the rest of the trip as it appears the weather will be stable with highs in the 40s and lows in the 20s for the duration of our stay. Results should just keep getting better.

Welp, it froze hard enough that the coyotes could stay on top last night. Had enough misses that we ran into town and bought a rake. Only managed a pair of ferals and a possum. No pics today. Only deer on my pig bait site. Tomorrow's another day

The best laid plans, we got the sets decided and raked the snow away from pretty much all sets today. Dropped in a few more and should have a good chance at connecting. 48 degrees today dropping to 20 tonight, everything is pretty soupy and most of the snow is going fast. Freeze - thaw cycles for the rest of our trip. The wind has been tolerable and the sun is shining so we're pretty happy. A little luck today was welcomed. [Linked Image]

Looks like your getting a good variety of fur, and hope the trapping conditions are improving.

Good luck!
