we get 12" of snow like they say the only thing sticking out would have been the top of the loop and would have had to revisit everything. I wish it would only be a couple of inches. I like a fresh dusting after I hang cables.

Me too pulled all of the footholds today,left 1 blind set foothold in the woods,pulled a few snares thinking I wouldn't be able to get back to them with the snow and wind coming.Had a yote walk up to a snare and turn around,he'll end up in another one pretty soon i'm guessing,i have 20 snares in about 5 acres in that gravel pit.Neither cat came back last night,maybe they'll move during the early part of the storm.

I hope we do get a big dump of snow, and I understand why taking precautions is wise. I dont have much faith in accumulation predictions , especially as far out as they started.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas with their families. Here are a few pictures from the weekend. The pair of coyotes was my Christmas presents. Pulled the line yesterday because of the snow storm and hope ill get to reset this weekend again. Ended up with about 8" of snow lastnight!

4.5" of snow so far,then the big cool down and 40 mph winds are coming.Going out in awhile to check the shorter line before the winds,be safe and have a great day everyone.

5 inches here so far and another 8-10 forecast. I am going to run mine before the big blow starts.

Finally connected on a small female. Twenty pounds I'm guessing. I thought I had a fisher at first glance but it turned out to be a cat. Beaver baited cubby guarded with a couple MB 550s. I checked the set yesterday and could see something was hitting the bait. Seemed like a clever animal as it was pulling the bait behind the tree to feed on it. My thinking was fisher. Crusted snow so the only thing showing for tracks anywhere is moose. I wired the bait hard to the tree and blocked it down with more brush.

Not a particularly pretty cat but it broke the ice. I remade the set. Thanks for all of the help you folks have offered up. Now on to that big male I know is running around.

Hey ANY cat is a good one. Congratulations!

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Congrats she's a little fur ball,it's winter here 5" of fresh snow and 30 to 35 mph winds now,with below zero temps right around the corner.

Thanks, Rick. We had a daytime high of around ten degrees with a pretty nasty wind chill. Been cold.

We have 9 inches so far and another 6+ hours of snow yet. Winter found us!

Nice!

Great work Bridger congratulations !

Good job Bridger! Just got done moving about 10" of snow and it is still snowing and the wind is starting now. Hopefully don't need to move that much tomorrow. Keep warm everybody!

Congrats Bridger it's always nice getting your cats.I've been waiting for two cats to make there loop,i'm only waiting till sunday,if they come great if not they'll be around next winter.Just finished putting up some muskrats and mink for our tanned fur program plus they'll get bobcat also.Congrats again.

Enjoy. I'm out here past Huron SD helping on a special pheasant hunt for veterans. Hunted in this blowing blizzard most of the day. These folks are tough, I'm beat, and you have a heck of a blow coming. Still howling here as I type.

We got around 15 inches here and winds 30-40. I doubt the critters moved but with the -20 temps coming they will. Time to dig things out and get them operational again.

Did you get up and running again?

Remade 4 cat sets today and relured,saw two yote tracks today.I taught one to sit and stay.
