You better keep us posted and pictures are appreciated.
I want to know if you will make your 6 cents an hour... grin


After repairs on the truck I know we won’t! Creeks are out of their banks so it was a pretty rough day. Low expectations for tomorrow.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Well the creeks came up 8 inches overnight but we managed to scratch out 43 rats and 5 beaver. I just got in and will finish skinning at 4 am. Logan was POOPED but 7 so we must have had fun!

Caught 2 beaver and 8 rats. Unfortunatly a mink made short work on 3 of them so use them for coyote bait. Tough finding sign with last nights rain but watch I did find was very fresh. Got out half dozen coyote sets but the fields are still very wet making it tough to bed my traps. May hold off a few more days before set more.

Got my first yote this morning. Got 5 sets out and was setting kind of blind. Got him on a baited dirt hole set on a crossover.

Picked up 10 beaver yesterday and this morning. Don't plan on trapping many more...maybe chase some otter later.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Good job 160. I wish you would spend less time trapping and more time finding me some paper grin


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I wanted to, but I was mixed up in one of the staff assaults and my hip is all buggered up. Only an idiot would even consider getting into the water like this.

I have a roll of it in the bathroom that I can send you. I assume you want new and not used.


Well we added 4 more beaver and another 24 rats today. One rat was caught by the tail in one #2 coil and around the ears in another. He didn’t move far! I will try to get caught up on pictures later this week.


I have nothing clever to put here.

Last nights catches.

First is a coyote in a mafia set and the second is a coon wrecking my perfect otter trail!

I am not doing this much this year. I am helping out a few people with beaver problems. Caught 4 out of six traps set Sat. and 6 more Monday after setting 4 more traps Sunday evening. I am pulling them in about an hour and could have another one or two but think I have fulfilled my obligations.





I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
