ttt

now! i want u guys to go hardcore and be at each others throat ok?

Sweet. Maybe we should start a bragging/derogatory comment war via PM to really build up the competition?

What ever happen to the "Personal attacks, disguised curse words, soliciting, and bad character are things that won't be tolerated on these forums."

YOU GUYS ARE GOING DOWN!

Hey, if it's in jest and it's in a PM I'm pretty sure it's not a problem.
Surprised you mentioned bad character. Last person I expected that from

SMART... oh, dang, can't disguised curse words....Lucky you

Things are getting intense, better move it to a PM!

Now, now... Only doing what Iwantayote told us to do. Only aiming for the throat.

When's the last time you hit what you were aiming for anyway? LOL

Skunk wrestler

And the raccoons are next .

thats some bad shooting....all those shoots should be in the forhead between the eyes lol

I was gonna say the same thing. Still, if I were shooting at that target there would be tomahawk marks, not bullet holes.

Never take bladed objects to gun fights!

Don't bring guns to a bladed object fight!

Quite right, bullets fly faster than knives but that doesn't make knives and axes any less dangerous... plus it's way more bad bleep to use a knife or ax than just a gun... anyone can shoot a gun.

Anyone can pull a trigger, just like anyone can throw a knife. Doesn't matter as long as you hit your target!

True enough, but I've never seen a sign that said, "This establishment bans tomahawks on these premises."

my sister inlaw can disprove that LOL

Seriously? I thought it was instinctive, you see something that moves, and you pull it, and it makes noise. Humans love that kind of thing. Think of pop fountains, gas pedals, volume dial on the radio...

Can she atleast shoot a side of a barn?

um nope...

is she missing her fingures?

she missing her brain lol

lol boys

then i guess everything is safe unless you are standing near what she is shooting at. lol

No, it sounds like you can stand in front of the target, and everywhere else is dangerous. haha

so can we post a pic of our end of the day traping pic with em all together like the other contest or not?

yup all is fine

1 beaver, 1 raccoon (my first), 1 mink (also my first). Also had a coon pull out... couldn't figure out which way the drowner was supposed to work I guess, LOL

nice! November 8th is coming

I'll tell the weather man to send a nice blizzard that way for your opener...

very nice counted

u dont wanna know what i told the weather man to send your way lol

This weeks catch: 227 Rats, 1 Coon, and 2 beaver.

Two muskrats. Nice catch Luke!

all counted and HOLY CRAP!!!

COUNTED

#%$@!!!! I lost!

Never been to South Dakota, but I was about five miles from the NoDak boarded! Will you be trapping spring rats for the contest? How many traps do you plan on running? Start whacking'em!

Two more beavers today.

Sweet catch!

Another coon, another muskrat, and my first otter. (I have wanted to catch an otter more than anything for the last 3-4 years!)

Brings my total to 29 points unless I am mistaken.

Is that a #14 victor jump? I have a few but can't use em here in Illinois cause of the teeth

Yep, has the PIT pan on it though because the original pan wobbles so much. Caught my otter in one of them also.


Two more coons, believe that makes 35 points.

hey banditbuster was that all in one check???

20 rats 1 coon

7 rats

I skinned yesterday's catch before I thought to take a picture, can I get it counted still? Will you need a picture of the pelt or something? It's a raccoon.

another 6 rats

18 rats

19 rats shops a mess and the rats in the back are from days before.

Another coon today, again I forgot to take a picture.

Keep forgetting to take pictures and I just might beat ya Skunky. Just got back from laying my coon line. Hoping to get 3 this weekend.

First of many...

10 rats and 1 coon

19 rats

counted

those are all the same pictures and same 7 rats...No Joke

x2 on greenwing's post. Those are definitely the same rats and you're trying to repost them to cheat. There is no way you have arranged them with their legs and tails in the same spots each day. EVEN THE LEAVES are in the same spots!

10 mink 13 rats 10 coon pic a little small last check of open water trapping every thing is frozen

It does mean you cheat. You posted the same picture about 4 times in under 5 minutes and you honestly expected us to believe you?

It looks like someone should be kicked out. I didn't know someone would be low enough to cheat on a youth trapping conest.. guess you learn something new everyday.

I haven't been adding latetly due to trying to maintain my line.. But I did check in to see how you guys were holding up and I also noticed the rats being the same.

The shouldn't be any tolerance for cheating

ok you all are giveing me a head ach....
i want u all to deleted all the bickering on this post and
if u must fight about something do on a pm PLEASE!

Almost forgot to take the pic!

ill get a few on here.





more to come if all goes well...

oh the bottom small pic is 2 coons and 1 possum that i swear is part coon lol he was a dark color one

Not as big/ugly as Nathan's, but still...

Sorry for the pic, I rotated it but didn't show up right.

Feed that possum to Brennan!

I was thinking about that... Should I send this to Brennan or the taxidermy?

Answer- $2 more dollars in the truck fund... Breenan will have to catch his own for today, sorry.

Skin it, then gut it out, butcher it all nice and purdy, then sell it to Brennan.

Na....

Couple more catches. Believe this makes 48 points total for me.

need to update score..........


i got more to add just gotta get pics off.

got me my first mink today

Coon #4

i catch mink in most my 'rat sets, but hey im not complainin

are those teeth on the jump trap attached to the beaver?

Sure they are, I thought all toothed traps were outlawed across Canada and the United States regardless of if they drown the catch or not.

I believe some states have not banned them.

Just my opinion but I think they should be banned everywhere... they aren't still be manufactured though are they?

Muskrat #3

FurTrapper--the trap you are complaining about is a #14 jump.The teeth are on there--not to impale the animal, but to keep its foot from sliding.The teeth are offset and do not meet each other.
A little bit of interesting history--when Minnesota trapped timber wolves to ship reintroduce in other states--Dr. Mech used #14 jumps. Now if these traps had harmed the animals, they wouldn't have used them.And as you can see--the states of Wisconsin and Michigan, have thriving wolf populations--in part,do to this trap.
Do not seek the banning of something you have no Knowledge of!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
