The season is almost upon us. Good luck, have fun, and be safe! Post pictures to this thread so we have a running idea of how the season is going.

I'll try to remember to take pictures. I will be mentoring for a Learn to Trap this weekend at Collins Marsh.

Tight chains to everyone who goes out.

Good luck everyone, I'll just be after coon & skunk for now. Gonna wait a little longer for yote and fox

Starting my ADC rat line on mon. When that's done, I'll start my coon and skunk line.

And looks like we have a beaver job on some DNR land.

Anybody set steel in the 73 degree heat?

Tight chains to all

Only because it was a learn to trap mentor day. It was warm for sure.

Heading out now. Only going to put in a couple sets

Good luck to you cowboy

What are you going to set for Cowboy? I want to see some pictures of what you catch.

Thanks!

Coon and skunk for now. Probably going to catch a possum before anything else though

Those possums are good skinning practice.

Yeah!

Well, I made a few sets... One is kind of a dirthole, with a tree as a backing. Double jaw 1.5 coilspring (courtesy of Savell ) I put a marshmallow and some Caven's predator bait down in the hole. Not sure how the marshmallow thing will turn out but they work good in my cage traps so we'll see. Then I made kind of a flat set with another double jaw 1.5 at a different location baited with more Caven's predator bait. Then I set a couple cage traps for possum. Going to try for skunk tomorrow or sometime later in the week

How are you at putting up fur Cowboy? If we can find a way to do it legally, I might be interested in buying a couple possums off of you.

Hoping for the best for you! I remember my first seasons and the sleepless nights thinking about my sets! Keep us posted!!

Not too good, but I'm working on it! My fox didn't turn out too bad even though I accidentally pulled part of the tail off lol. Still need to find a way to sew that back on I'll send you a PM

Thanks! Yeah, it's super fun to think about it all night and then finally go check 'em when the sun comes up!! I'll keep ya posted
