I put out about 16 mink/rat sets over the weekend 8 mink boxes and 8 footholds on feed beds and pockets. Caught 1 mink and 3 rats today, danged mink et two of the three rats. I'll be using them for bait when I reset after Christmas. Infected foot and crutches be darned I am a Mountain Man and that's all I'll ever be! (though these banks seem much steeper than i remember!



Love making pocket sets where the wall and the bank meet at these types of bridges!



Two rats in feed bed sets, one partially eaten by a mink, after Christmas I will use the carcass as bait for said mink

Good for you Mike! Getting down those steep banks is easy................

Yeah but they trick you and get steep on the way back up, the bad wheel makes it extra fun, I mean I only have 40% use of that leg and foot anyway but with the infection on top of it I cant wear my brace so its grueling, and I wish I were kidding,

Best to ya sir!

Fells good to knock off the rust, haven't trapper water animals since 2013, not counting beaver NWCO work

Good that you're getting out there Mike. I hope you get healed up. Trapping with busted up arms and legs is never as fun as a guy would like.

Good to hear you could get out. Hope you catch quite a few to make it worth it.

Hopefully one of those muskrat eaters will be waiting for you tomorrow

Good work, Mike!
