Landowner owns both sides of RxR ROW. Luckily beaver dam on landowners property. I can't get these railroad companies around here to get back with me to issue me written access. At a couple of last years jobs..the beaver dams are on RxR property....they still have their beavers...lol
Odd company's runnng RR. Got so bad above the house the NTSB told them if something wasn't done they were shutting that line down, all the way across Ms! They hired us begrudgingly and i worked my butt off through 3 county's getting their crap back on high ground. Once they had NTSB off their back they said stop work unless they called, which they never will! So now it's all back flooded from one end to the other. First derailment they will point the finger at us claiming we hired them to keep this from happening.
Not my circus, not my clowns.

I miss killin' coyotes and bcats. Keep gettin'em Savell! Maybe my knees will moderate b4 next December and I can get back to catching predators.
I barely made it today. Had to quit about 2pm. Set 3 new nuisance locations in a couple more counties. Only 3 or 4 traps at each location. Needed to get to 2 more locations, but knees said..NO!!!
Will start fresh and get those set tommorrow.
Gonna have to pull traps a few at a time.....not sure I can pull em all in one day...lol
9 beavers in three days off this one job....6 males/3 females.

Not sure how your beaver trapping in that mess on rotten knee's. More power to you, my spot in my back lets me know every time i step wrong, figure that will only worsen with age. It's killin' me J, but I can't sit at the house. I've made some commitments to a few landowners to trap. I've put it off to long already. I'm hoping after I complete these clients that the calls will slow or stop for a while. I'm looking at beaver'in thru end of March now.

From looks of weather you'll have a few days off, flooding in your neck of the woods tomorrow. Saw that.....maybe we won't get a lot. I like rainy stretches when I got beaver traps out at several locations. Extra water gets em moving.

Love seeing green and flowing water....nothing but cold, frozen ground and wind here at the moment and supposed to get colder. Nice work Swamp! Coyote season is done here so traps are pulled up. Just beaver/otter left. Gotta a pile of equipment to go through get cleaned up and sorted. Swamp you said something Jackie and I talked about....I can't sit around the house....agreed. I need to be somewhere in the woods for part of the day scouting, hunting or trapping. Wife thinks I am nuts but.... we trappers gotta trap....lol For sure Mike!
