I haven't started yet but just thought id put up this thread for when I do and for all of us just to share what we catch and for daily updates on the trapline

same, it opens the 1st but I'm waiting a little for stuff to prime up

mine doesn't open till the 20th

Yay. Trapping 2026-27 first miss. Just kidding, I think this was a deer or more likely a bear. Fun stuff tho.
I only got 3 sets out right now, waiting a few days to set out my line.

lucky

Made a couple more sets today. This one I used a bridger 1.75 laminated. The straw and the fox droppings were already there, just bedded my trap. Should pick up a fox here!

Good luck!

I will be prestaking the 7th and setting the 10th. Most of our fur here (except probably the beaver) is already prime. We had a major cold snap for about two weeks late October. That's a month earlier than usual. I caught a crop damage coon and could've skinned it probably. (Still a little early, and I had snared it. Didn't want to mess with it.) I'd say the fur will be almost fully prime here by the time season opens the 10th.

Well I'm still scouting and though I would share something I found

oh nice!

Prestaking done for me, got about 130 traps out and staked. I have a few left that I'll have to get out on Tuesday, our opener, when I set everything. Pretty happy with the sign I'm seeing. Water is at the perfect levels right now. How ya'lls water and sign looking like?

dry BUT the little holes that have some have animals all over. we got some rain the other day though

water is low but we got em critters just bout erwhere lol

Bet boys,
I got on a mink and a coon there last week.

nice

Got 134 traps set today, have a few more to set tomorrow and another dozen DPs in the mail. I'll be around 150 even when I'm done setting. We'll see what tomorrow holds as the first check day. Weather seems to be good, fingers crossed. A little bit of rain Thursday and a little cold after that, but nothing crazy.

Nice work. Ready to what you catch

Got 11 coons, 3 possums, and a field rat (weird) today. Pretty good day, considering that I caught nothing on the first half of my line. Sidenote: Anybody ever seen this? (Two coons in the same DP)

Wow! Great job! I haven't even gotten my traps ready yet

Also i've often caught multiple coons in one cage trap before but never in a dp
