Nice catches all.
Picked up 120 new acres to trap, looks very promising. Got a pile of coon sets out today, lots of corn damage.
Looking forward to tomorrow.

wtg guys, thanks for taking us along,

They gave me a tetanus shot. I was due to get one next year anyway so now that's done. Brenda is going on the line with me today to help out and possibly pull some of the line.

2 coon and a grinner today. One of those coons weighted in at 28 lbs. the other hit the 25 lb. size.
Expecting abut 2" of rain some time on Thursday, will have to have the line pulled by wed. I'm getting tired of skinning coon. I think the number is around 40 and we have at least 30 grinners. But only 5 skunks.

Rough day on the river line. Got a few rats and a male mink. Wanted to set out a bigger line but only set 1`0 sets. The wind has toppled about a dozen trees along one section and they have blocked the river in several places. I got hung up in a bunch of branches trying to get through and had a sizable limb swing back at me and hit my glasses, cut my nose and the glasses flew somewhere. Spent a lot of time looking but could not find them. Got my backup pair on now. Sign is normal which is not too high on these waters. Did see a decent 8 pointer. He must have been watching me for quite a while before he spooked.

I set 13 traps along 100 yds. Of shoreline yesterday on a small lake that had some good rat sign. Had 14 rats today, with 5 of them packed into one colony trap. The rest were in footholds and bodygrips. The 5 in colony trap were all small. Would've traded those 5 for a couple xl.

Way to git after 'em Walt!

Good work Walt. I love using the colony traps.

Are the puzzle people OK with kids with guns and dead critters?

I show off my fur and dry all my critters on my tail gate of the truck. The middle school is about 2 blocks from my house and lots of kids pass by my house every day. There are least 5 kids that always stop in when my shop door is open to check on what I caught that day. They don't seem to have any problems with seeing dead or skinned critters. And they are all girls.

My mom got some photos printed of some of my deer from Shutterfly. They were ok with a dead deer and me and a gun

It's amazing how the coon move or don't move. Friday I caught 13 coon but on Saturday I was skunked. Today I had 4 from a depleated line. I'm going to pull before our deer gun season. Good luck to all of you on the hunt.

Y’all stay after them …. Good thread

Got 4 more coons today, that's 8 for the weekend. Farmer is happy, he had lots of corn damage. Also had a friend come along as a mentored trapper. Head a good weekend.

Are you guys gonna set after gun season, or is it over?

I'll be resetting, as long as the weather doesn't get too nasty.

Mine are all on our own property and private near it so I will leave them out for Bobcat,Coyote and Fisher. Pull water with rifle season and family.

Nice catches to all!
Set my first traps of the year today! A few with my wife as she wanted to take a walk in the woods/marsh. Got a little excited after that and grabbed my youngest 2 and the neighbor kid and headed back out and placed a handful of bottom edge sets. Was good to be out, I've been busy this fall with work trying to get things completed before cold and snow. Im excited to chop some holes in the ice for rats when it arrives! Hopefully be able to contribute to the thread if I make a catch or two.
As always, enjoy your time in the Marsh,Woods and Field!

Got out a couple dozen sets today. Will do a few more tomorrow. Will cut it short and pull Wednesday as it looks to get wet here Thursday-Saturday. Rivers are low but an inch or two will really bring them up quickly.
