I've had four sets out for a little over a week. Only one set has been worked, it has caught four coyotes so far. Its starting to rain now, but the dry dirt has been a nice change for me.

Y’all must have been getting our rain, lol. I haven’t seen it this dry this late in many many years.

Set a trap on my way in to my deer stand Saturday afternoon and had this nice kitty waiting when I came out this evening. Pulled my trap and haven’t had time to set anymore. Eric

I have caught 32 muskrats, 2 mink, and 1 raccoon so far. Setting more traps out tomorrow to hopefully get the rat numbers up. I hope to have 300 caught by the end of April.

15 fox, 7 jumbo coon, 8 rats and a fisher for me. Just ram a short line around home. Surprisingly, no coyotes at all in the areas I normally catch them. Course, the night hunters are out every night around here…

I just started about a week ago. I've caught a raccoon, a grey fox, a red fox and a coyote. My dad has been snaring for the last 3-1/2 weeks and has caught 11 coyotes. Good times.

After a 2-3 year break due to health problems:
5 woodchucks 5 possums 3 skunks
I target nuisance woodchucks in my backyard on my ¼ acre property. I use Duke 160’s. Of course when targeting chucks you end up catching possums and skunks as well. I bury them all. I've been trapping since 2015. 43 chucks so far, 10-12 possums and about 8-10 skunks.

Nice variety of catches. Did you specifically set for the weasels or were they incidentals?

Ramping up here lately...in last 3 checks I've caught 2 possums, 1 skunk, and 1 coon. Not hitting it too hard, but figured I'd do better than i have...seems as though I struggle every year about this time for some reason.

Love the pics guys and gals. Not doing a big line this year. Right now I have 8 coyote sets out, 7 water sets. So far I have caught 2 coyotes, 2 beaver, 1 mink, 10 muskrat, 1 coon and 1 pine squirrel. Been a tough coyote year for me this season normally have 5 or so by this time. About to start targeting Beaver and otter hard.
