Figured I'd keep this updated on my small line this season for anyone interested in following. October I made 6 fox sets and pulled after a couple days and a catch once deer rifle opened. Then a few days ago caught 5 muskrats in blind or baited sets. Next day had 2 porcupines and Another couple muskrats. Yesterday, missed a coyote and today had a coyote and another red fox.

Good stuff! I used to fly out of Great falls to all the little hospitals on the Hi-Line, truly God's country up there!

Very nice!

keep the updates coming. good stuff

It is until it's 40 below!

Very cool Eric. Quite a change in country from north Idaho!!!

Very true Mike there isn't anywhere quite like the hi line of Montana ! Eric keep up the good work up there !

Absolutely Mike, pretty much the opposite in terms of country. This was a ranch I set up yesterday afternoon.

Couldn't get to one of my areas due to gumbo roads. Will go in the morning, should freeze tonight. On another ranch I set up on Thursday, caught another quill pig on a trail set with a small dab of lure.

Ran my short line this morning before work. Caught a beautiful female yote in a blind set, remade as a dirt hole with chaff backing. Also caught a muskrat in a Johnny Thorpe puzzle set for coon/mink.

This morning ran half my line. Empty until the last trap I had to check, a Johnny Thorpe puzzle set along a slough. Had this nicely furred but very wet coon in a Victor #2 long spring. 4th catch and 2nd species on that same remake.

Some days on the line just make you want to pull your hair out. Had 4 of 10 foot holds tripped by deer on one of the ranches I'm trapping. The other area I'm trapping a fox or coyote pulled my t-bone out of the ground without getting caught, then walked over to a remake from a fox, set the t-bone down there and worked the remake flat set without getting caught. I'll wait that one out. Then to top it off, pinched myself pretty good on the palm of my hand between the jaws and lever of a 550.

If it was easy we wouldn't enjoy it so much
