I caught 2 in the Daks nearly 50 years ago, and a bobkitty and a couple yotes. Did a ton of fox and coon trapping throughout the early to late 80s. Have done a lot of water trapping, my favorite animal to trap specifically is mink. Refuse to kill any to sell with prices as low as they have been. All that said, and at age 68, I am having an itch I am gonna try to scratch. I may just give Fisher and 'cats ago this fall (2026) because I see the DEC has both extended the season to 14 days from 5 AND moved it to a later timeframe to ensure better fur quality. Now my itch has found a target! Reality is I have no traps for them. I will be purchasing 2 dozen 160s definitely, not sure if brand matters much, I have experience using Duke 160s for mink. If there is a better brand go ahead and comment. The real advice I need is for traps to use on the ground in cubbies, and maybe a few hole sets. I just ordered today, 3 single traps just to evaluate with primary factors being jaw spread, quality, strength, and to a lesser extent value. the reason I say that is I only really need probably 2 dozen and a difference between $12 and $20 will not be the main deciding factor in that purchase. All the fisher, if any, I catch will be going to a tanner, if I luck into a 'kitty, same for it. Non target possibilities likely are yotes, red and gray fox, and probably coon as well, but fisher is the primary target along with a kitty so those are the primarys I am looking for advice on. The 3 traps I purchased were an MB 550 with OS Jaws, a Duke 550 Pro also OS Jaws, and a Duke 1 3/4 with OS jaws, which was the cheapest of the 3 traps. I don't believe a jaw spread over 5" is necessary for Fisher but with a cat also in the picture I believe 5 1/4 to 5 1/2" is probably the better option given that a coyote might also happen along, and if it was black/phase I'd be tickled pink and it would also go to the Tanner. So there it is, I need 2 dozen of 1 size based on those factors. Price is not an issue, I want the BEST trap, or at least a very capable one with few drawbacks for this situation. Please go ahead and comment.

Guys,, is it just me or do you guys see the same things going on today as when the Kansas/Nebraska act started.
I know we aren’t at the point of people riding over states borders and terrorizing individuals. , murder and burning down homesteads,Yet.

But we have parties, intentionally using minorities as chess pawns ( not the normal way either) . National sovereignty was the term used,,, and whatever the majority wanted Kansas is how things were going to be,,, if the majority voted for slavering it would become a slave state, and vice versa..
Democrats had people sneak into Kansas to vote in favor of… which caused residents of Kansas to cry foul.. things started to get worse,,, and then Missouri got involved because of their allies who snuck into Kansas.
This is a just a short summary,,, lots of other things happened,,,
But this is the powder and the keg that was built and when it was lit, became the civil war.
