I’m not a fan of this ice and snow crap… really threw a monkey wrench into trying to stack numbers of coon.
I use pockets and pvc sets to whack and stack.

But, might as well change gears and just have fun… made some bottom edge sets did produce this morning.
Sometimes I forget that it’s not always about numbers and remember when I was a snot nosed kid decades ago who didn’t catch a whole lot.

Otter, mink and 2 rats… slow morning, but absolutely better than nothing

I'd take those 4 over a pile of coon any day.

Nice work.

WTG the cold and snow has really hampered me but I usually don’t hit it until mid December due to the deer obsession lol

If possible gravitate toward the faster stretches of water it might be tougher to run slide wires for drowning cuz fast water usually means a bit shallower but will at least remain unfrozen for you
great catch today welldone
