Last week I caught 3 really dinky possums. Some of the smallest I've seen this time of year.

My possum catch was down to 1 today. I've caught over 40 incidentals so hopefully I've thinned them out. I did get 4 coon today to put me over 100 which was my goal for the season.

Way to go on them coon Lance! I've been dealing with some health issues and didn't set a trap till last week. Just been trapping a few rats. My goal this year is to just be able to trap. Good luck to all.

Thanks Walt. Wishing you the best of health and quick healing. Keep knocking those rats down. I have a couple farm ponds that I have to check for rats next week so I'll be catching a few soon. Take care.

Atta! boy Walt nice rats.

Hope you are feeling better!

keep after them guys, nice rats walt,

Good for you Walt, nice rats. Get well! I battled pneumonia all fall last year and never got to set a trap. Happy for you to get out there.

Have you coon trappers noticed a lot of scratch backs on your boar coon. My last 4 boar coon have some serious bite marks on their backs.

I just put up a 24# sow, and she had a few bite marks on her back.

I got 10 beaver this week, a bunch of possum, some big rats and had to use one of my otter tags

Nice work JSell.

Jordy, looks like you got the right guy to handle the fur , but i would question the guy in the chair. Lol

A moment in time. This pic needs to be printed, framed and hung on the wall.

Another thought . . . get a puzzle made out of this pic and give it to him for Christmas. Done that with the grandkids and it really blows 'em away.

Finally got a couple days to get in some water. I am hoping to get about 5 more days. First couple days were 13 rats and a few coons. Small female coons and YOY that were about 10 lbs. Did not bring any home to finish. Rat sign is a bit below the normal for these small rivers and the water is very low. Dragged my otter sled over several areas with 1-2 inches of water.

Thanks guys. He's been very involved this year and looks forward to getting his hands dirty every night. A puzzle would be a great idea. Walt, you might know who that guy in the chair is. You used to work with his dad, Frank.

Jordy, the world gets smaller as we get older! I hope Frank is doing alright and can still ride his horses.
