Late opener but the season goes to mid Feb put a cubby out for a couple of my past 4H students and one for me in my annual cat spot a few miles from there. We can only get 1 cat East River no limit West River.

A big draw that forks to the right of this cubby for the kids there's a big chunk of beaver for bait in the barrel. Lots of turkeys in the draw (25-30 today) that should attract some cats.



My every year location on a narrow drainage in the river breaks. The waters not running now I'm hoping the melt off and new moisture will get it flowing or the cats will have the option to run it if it's not wet. If the creek freezes over Ill add a set on the creek bank picked up a few there over the years. My cubby is on a upper bank shelf that a natural crossing for cats because of a high wall that brings them to the shelf between the wall and the creek it's a sweet spot. Tossed some leaves around for eye appeal added cameras to both cubbies to see what's working them.




Found some tracks on this piece of wood they were pretty washed out from melting snow.



A great snag in the middle of the creek with trails coming around both sides snared a cat last year there the first night I narrowed down the spots so they get accustomed to the changes.

Looking good! Need to get ready for the season myself! Do you hang snares in front of your cubbies?
