Pulling traps is on par with the last day at geese camp for me. Couple of my least favorite days of the year for sure.

Glad you survived what looked like a challenging season. Good luck at the Rondy, and have fun at the Fling!


Just doing what I want now.

Well it has been a bit. Summer and fall went by pretty quick, no bears or moose this year. Fishing with a few buddies for silvers, hunting ducks with my friend Cory, and chasing moose with Ted and Mike where the highlights smile

Last Monday was our opener, not much snow but things were locked up good on the flats, the creeks and river are still pretty much wide open. I went last Sunday and dropped off 8 bags of bait at my start point. Next morning rolled up dropped my gear and ran bait out to 3 locations. The last location I dropped the bait and since it was at the end of my loop I decided I would snare it up on my way out. That was about 8am. About 4pm I rolled up to it and dang if the yotes and fox weren't already hitting it!

In the past week I have not seen any marten or lynx track. Looks like it is going to be a k9 year.

I didnt realize how much I missed seeing the sunrise on those crisp frosty mornings! Felt good being back in the office smile

Picked up one of those high dollar mink that FHA says is gonna bring big money this year smile

Picked up the first yote of the year in a hay set smile Used some pig scrap and a dab of Dobbins Dig'R lure.

Be safe out there guys!
