Hey lets use this one to talk about whats goin on in our season and post pics and all the talk n stuff.
Ill start
I had one heck of a first say. Ran 99 traps and got 15 coons. Atleast a dozen pullouts. We had some snow sleet stuff last night so it shut em down a little. But 120 sets out now and tonight should be good

I wish everyone the best of luck this season!! I’m jealous of you all, I’ve been outta the season for the past couple years and I was really looking forward to participating this year but the military pulled me to the Middle East!! So good luck and catch some for me!!

Kinda the same thing happend to me, my season started out well the first week. Three coyotes in four days plus some nice fox and some coon. The past week as been really rainy and not many critters are moving, but by the end of this weekend I should be into some more fur. Rats and mink come in a few weeks, and I have some good area to trap them so I am hoping to pick up 25-50 rats and a few mink.

Man this is fun but im really feelin the workout. All our creekbanks are near vertical and youd be better off throwin a rope down and climbin up. I am sore. But i had a good day. 17 coons and 2 rats. Lota of pullouts but i think it is because these traps are really old.




Also found out that my drowners i made out of swivels work. I had a 30lb boar try it out.

I experience the same thing every time there’s a full moon. Why does this slow their movements? Any opinions?

I haven't been having much luck either, it's been raining again for the past couple days. The forecast is saying that it's not going to stop anytime soon. Funny how it doesn't rain all summer, then when season hits it rains almost every day.

Season opens today! No, I didn’t get any sleep last night lol. Woke up this morning and the thermometer says 23 degrees and says it feels like 11 with the wind. The last few years it has been around 50s or low 60s. A little cold, but I still plan on getting a few dozen sets out. Good luck everyone
