oct. 25th is almost here.

Just 2 more weeks for many of us.

Nov. 5th for me.

like 19 days for nebraska!well.not for bobcat.

i was thinking if i should wait till they prime to trap i cant realy tell if they prime ive never trapped before and our opener is oct. 25

COYOTES BEWARE! [In 10 days].

noobtrapper, I'd trap cause if you've never trapped before then you've nevere skined or fleshed so it would be good practice to do that stuff on animals that aren't worht much.

Grousehunter, nothing's worth much this year when prime anyway LOL!

i got 10 days till season

Since you all are so sure the fur is not going to have any value, why then are you going to set traps, flesh and stretch fur? We all know you can make more money fiipping burgers then trapping. Just wondering out loud. Tom

because we love being outside and would rather "waste" our money trapping than make money inside

Well Tom, if I have to tell you the truth... I'm addicted to trapping!!!

"More than a feeling..."

Our dry land coon season started yesterday. Only got to set out 2 sets because my cousin was getting confirmed. Nothing on this mornings check. Set out 4 more sets today after we checked the 2 that I put out last night. 3 out of the 4 sets we made today we caught 5 coon last year at each one so im feeling pretty lucky I might get something tommorow after noon when I check them.

Nov. 15 here!

I got a small coon today so I will try to get a pic on here.

Might as well get as much money for your fur as you can.

This is my first year trapping, so this is the highest price I've ever been paid for my fur.

LOL that's a good one this is my 4th year I think.

Heres the one I got yesterday. My firend shot one and gave it to me so thows are the only 2 I have so far. a big one pulled out of the box today. That thing ripped the side right off of my box! Caught this on my homemade bait.

Nice coon coon buster! Keep postin pics everyone (Seasons only 3-4 days away for many of us)

thats a nice coon! i cant trap for a little more than 2 weeks. I cant wait! i might not survive that long

I had nothing on todays check. Been raining all day and is sposed to carry on through the night so the coon should be running tonight.

CoonBuster, very nice coon. Your season is off to a good start. Tom

Yep nice coon

Heres the one I got today.

congrats, thats a big coon! in your box?

thats another nice coon

Another nice coon! Nice job!

Ya that was in a box. I followed your guys advice to move the trap closer to the mouth of the box and caught him the first night.

great coon

Nice coons guys!

I surprisingly havent caught a possum or a skunk yet this year!

Your just lucky lol

Great catches, everyone!

I like how its supposed to be picture thread and theres only 2 pics out of 42 posts.

Come on guys put up some pics! I have some pics but I dont have a cord for the camera (I dont think I do, or dont know were it is) and only 1 pic turned out (wasnt blurry).

Get anything today?

Nope not today. Woke up this morining and with all the rain weve been getting we had to pull almost all of our box sets because they were completly under water. I dont think the coon are running that much because of this rain.

Posted this pic on the main fourm but I will post it here also. This is a 13 pound boar, Caught on first check of the year this morning.

cool catch!

Nice coon.

Could of the moderators stickie this to the top to? Thanks

Got another one. This one was huge. At least in the thirties. Couldnt find the scale to weigh it.

Nice looking coon coonbuster! You have 3 coons so far correct? How many sets?

This one is posted on the main fourm too.

Interesting looking skunk!

His lines were about 6 inches long and not an inch wide.

Trapping4life, we actually have 4 coon with only 4 sets out. We are doing horrible compared to last year but this weekend water trapping opens so our numbers should go way up. Also canines open.

Cool!

We finally got our first skunk of the season today. Sorry didnt take any pics.

Heres some pics of some of the animals we have caught this year. I dident get a pic of the opossum, a few pics are kinda blurry and we had 2 coyotes break traps and get out.

All pics are of different animals. Enjoy!

Nice job! The rain messed with everything here. No animals today in around 12 traps and probably wont be able to set out many more traps to Sunday (unless it drys out a lot tonight).

who all traps with you??

I trap with my dad.

Had a pretty good run today, better than I thought we would have with all this rain. Here are a few pics of the catch today. (I know I look funny in the one pics, I was pretty tired). [img:center]

This last one and the next one are the same fox.
I thought we had a pretty good day for 13 traps. Hopefully we will have more out later today and tommorow.

Anyone have anymore pics?

2nd coon of the year

Nice coon komodo!

lol...look at the little rascal.

Cool pics.

This was what we got on our run today. 4 rats, 1 mink, and 1 coon

Heres a pic of the mink and the rats. This was our first time ever setting for rats so 4 rats on the first check was pretty good.

thats awesome coonbuster! got some skinning to do now!

save your mrat meat!!! either eat it or make bait. and glands from mink.

I will post the animals I got today tommorow.

Heres the catch from today. My dad let me take off from school today to help run the line. 3 Rats, 1 mink and a huge coon was all we caught.

Heres a pic from today. The fox is our first fox ever! We caught it accidentaly in a pocket set for coon and mink by the river! We plan on getting it tanned or a rug made out of it since it was our first one. We also did pretty well on the coon and rats today.

You did better than me today (I only got 1 Red today).

I got one skunk. He has nice stripes and both split off in to 2 more stripes 3/4 down his body. I will try to get a better picture tomorrow.

Nice jobs!

caught 2 coons and a small beaver. also had a coon caught by a toe but pulled out and the toe and claw was left in the trap. pics will be here in a little while. cool story about one of those coons.

November 9th catch (2nd check)
That big coon pulled my stake and trap, ran thru the culvert to the other side of the road, ran up the trail into my 220 and was waiting for me with some "bling-bling" on his foot and neck. Re-set the foothold and got the stake in better and angled better.

Nice job! Thats a pretty little beaver!

Really nice skunk....fur looks really nice. Tom

Only 1 coon today in a snare. Big one tho! Re made a few sets with more bait and trap placement. hope it helps!

Nice pics guys keep them coming. My seasons about over except for the few coyot and fox sets. There are also a few coon and mink sets that we have out as well.

nice job!! that a beaver or mrat? ...jk...lol

yea i know it is small but we have a $40 bounty on them in my county so i dont care about the sizes

Here are some pics of his stripes, do they commonly split off?

Cool pics. Nice badger.

Nov 11. check #4. 2 coons and a muskrat. muskrat was cut up and not worth keeping
