Gonna have it tanned?

Better up your pan tension

I’ve wondered if you could skin them round and make coasters

Another example of knowing your target species well and choosing to use offsets of not. Way to go, Nessie! Might be a nice frizzen cover!

Moosetrot

I'm liking that pan mod.

Piece of paper towel squeezed in the trigger....peanut butter...

Canadian Humane Standard compliant?

I did file an off set ..in the striker bar....BMP approved

I think I'm ready to go up against the ermine again. Thanks.

Well played, sir.

Nice catch.What was your foot tension set at?

It’s night latched.....very light !

Was it hooked to a drag?

Looks prime, ought to bring big money



B

Nope...living dangerously !

Probably bring as much as one of our 2x coon

Nice job Nessy!!!!!, you had you trap bedded good to get a high foot catch like that.

Must have been taught the reach in by a coon.

I can remember when Ol’ PSkinny skinned and put one up. Think he used a tongue depressor for his stretcher. He sure did catch a bunch of them

Yep. We just talked fondly of Ed last month.
His tailgate shot had something like 182 mice.

Sell it to a taxidermist
Congratulations

Did you save that turd to use at the next set? That's a super fresh one, it's still hasn't fully made it entrance yet.

+1, big bucks on the taxidermy market!

This reminded me of when i bought my first house. I worked nights-woke up around noon one day layin flat on my back. Dead center of my chest was what appeared to be a mouse turd. I flicked it and went back to sleep. Day or two later i was watchin tv and a mouse ran across the living room. I went and bought a 4 pack of victors and set them all and left. I came back and 3 were snapped while 1 was gone. I found it under the couch with a leg. Must not have had enough swivels! From that day fwd for almost a month, i found turds in every room. Id hear it at night. I saw it run across rooms. I set 3 different kinds of traps with every bait i could imagine. I shot at it with a bb gun a couple times. This thing was driving me nuts-i couldnt kill it. Finally i was gone one weekend and came back. A victor in the basement connected with a 3 legged mouse and i never saw one again.

Post the video when you bring it to Gronys rat wagon !! I want to see how he grades it.

Paint stirring sticks are probably the best material for making a wood stretcher. You can make do with ice cream sticks but expect to get docked for a narrow stretch.

I wonder.......do you have to open the ears like you do on a coyote or fox when you skin them? Do you dry them fur in or out????

Don't forget to enter this little guy in your season-end harvest report !!!

Fur in! Flesh them on a big "kindergarten" pencil.

Is that mange on it's face? Might take a hit on price for that.

Don't forget about the glands, urine and skull!

Remember, we had a thread about ethics a couple weeks ago and I learned that some trappers NEVER waste a natural resource!

Make sure to borax around the ears and front legs. This is where they tend to taint

Canadian Humane Standard compliant? Boys you have this all wrong, if it is a foot hold set, daily check is required, We set larger traps... mices up here can take cold weather...just saying !!!
