Thanks for the many kind comments from you guys. Most of you are probably way better land trappers than I, but I have figured out how to make a few bucks extra from my carcasses. Beaver will always be my main gig and having access to lots of carcasses means I can make mistakes placing them and lose carcasses to my folly, but oh well, no biggie, plenty more available.

The key to being good at anything is learn from doing it right and wrong None of us are born knowing all we need or want to know So it seems that you are learning what works and what is mayb not the best way to go In the end you catch more fur making less effort And that sounds like a good way to go Greatjob on showing where you are at in the learning curve right now Good luck

Back to the coast range for check #2....This view on my way up.

[Linked Image]

One more civet and at another spot a small striped skunk. My two remaining cat sets didn't produce and were not molested. Probably caught them elsewhere. On the positive side, the spot where I caught cat #1 day before yesterday had another cat hit so now I have it set up. Also set three more civet sets today on carcasses that look like they're starting to get worked. Tomorrow I pull all my hardware and get back to my water trapping.

Great thread peeler! I broke down and bought the book that you recommended. It was harder to find than I thought it would be. Thanks for the heads up.

Mnjag, you made a good purchase. Covers your part of the world too and has lots of good info about cat habits.

There aren't many carnivores that will pass up a fresh beaver carcass. A friend of mine who ran coyotes wanted all the beaver carcasses I could get him for his Walkers. He claimed it gave the dogs more stamina than any dog food he gave them.

One day you'll find someone who is obsessed with you. It's probably going to be a dog. But, it is what it is.

Well, today was pick up the line day. As I mentioned earlier I had another bobcat hit on my first bobcat carcass so I set it up again. Today it had a nice little female. Haven't weighed her yet but probably 15-16 lbs.

Decent belly on her.

Also picked up two more civets which makes me happy!

Makes 4 civets for this carcass run, and 5 cats.

But wait.....

....it never fails. Just when I'm picking up all my traps and ready to move on with life and get back to a water line. One more carcass gets covered tempting me to set it up.
What do you think I did?
