Nice job on the cats bridger. You must be running a pretty decent size line? Keep up the good work. I've managed a couple cats earlier, and a few coon as of late, otherwise my small line has been a bit slow the last week in a half.

Another one bites the dust.

Nice job les. Did you get all that rain up there? Had to fix up most of my footholds today after last nights rain.

We had a misty rain last night and it turned into that dusting of snow you see on my coyote. Some of the rain was more evident on the snares I was checking to make sure they would still work. I carried a plumbers torch with me to quick dry things up after clearing the cable itself. That's a nice way to go.

I fixed up a few footholds, all of them are bagged and now covered with a bare minimum of undisturbed snow. I expect some snow in the next day or so.

Looks like your lucky enough to have enough snow to set snares. Been so nice that what little we had is gone making it difficult to set snares. Looks like a brown Xmas this year...

Some cooler weather would make the snaring a lot easier. I managed to snare a coyote out on the ice last night. Had 2 but one chewed out on me.

Nice work on the yotes Todd!

I have caught nearly every coyote with 5/64, 1 x 19 cable, and a cam loc with a dispatch spring. I have had one chew out with the 1/16, 1x19 cable.

Ya cam locks and dispatch springs would definitely help or some entanglement.

My bear is still out cruising. Something must be wrong with him.

I had another fun check this morning of the few traps and snares I have out close to home. This is my fourth and final otter for this season.

Nice work!

Nice is right! I had a frustrating day today. Caught my 3rd otter today but as I approached it, it slipped out of the trap and dove into the river before I could do anything. It was a toilet set but too much ice to use a drowning rod or cable. Really tore up the place and not sure if I should remake it or not. Oh-well, that's trapping for you?

Good job everybody on your recent catches! 20scout its hard to watch something slip out of a trap when your walking up to it isn't it. Had a cat do that a couple of years ago. Just sat there in disbelief. The end of the week here has uneventful. We really need some snow. Cannot pick up any new sign in the crust we have. Going to go check out a new farm this weekend, they have a couple of bone piles out. We will see if anything is going on there.

Way to go MnMan !

I limited out on otter today too.

That's a long stake at the top of the spillway of a beaver dam, holding a CDR 7.5, my choice in footholds for otter.

Good job, Les and all who have posted! Always fun to see the pictures of the catches.

A trail set connected today,still no sign of the two bobcats I've been waiting for,waiting for 1 otter to return also.

Very had to watch especially with Things being as slow as they have been. Even the crust is gone. Looks like a brown Christmas this year! Keep up the good work everybody!

Getting a little snow today,guessing Monday will be a fur day,those two cats better make their loop pretty quick other wise they'll have to make it through another winter.

yep got some snow last night, Hopefully new tracks start showing up tomorrow. Did a quick spin on the trails today nothing moving here yet. Nice looking yote Rick!
