What a long day! #8683297 11/03/26 08:12 PM 11/03/26 08:12 PM

The water was deeper and faster than I thought so I got to take a ride down one creek a ways but managed to get ahold of some brush and get out before I got to the culvert under the road. I had one set I couldn't get to and another that just wasn't there. I got my hook out and started fishing and finally fond the cable. It was a dryland (yesterday) mink set with a Bridger 155. I was pretty shocked when a beaver came up with the trap and was DOA. Past of the "To DO List" for today was to check deer cameras. We have had a serious drought all Spring, summer and Fall. I guess that is over now. Many of my mowed trails are under water. On the bright side, I got some decent pictures. I may need a boat to get them out this weekend but at least they are still around. They are forecasting another 1-2 inches for tomorrow but hopefully it will be a better day. I have nothing clever to put here.
