Thanks guys I hope it heels up enough so I can try and keep 12 sets goings for the end. Setting I can do some what just takes way more time then I like spending at a set. Skinning on the other hand and fleshing is next to impossible being that its my right hand.

I’m getting the itch to go after some beaver. Might as well take advantage of the open water

Nittany Lion had a mild heart attack late last week.

Sunday, I visited Nittany Lion.
He's having a heart catherization today. Monday.

Jim was in good spirits and seem like himself.
He did say he shoulda went to the doctor two days earlier. He was having chest pains for several days.
After the doctor's exam, Doc told Jim he had a mild heart attack. And went on... I'm getting you to the nearest hospital, NOW.

Jim said, if things go right, he'll be home for New Years Day & Penn State football game.

On a side note, I talked with Dave Dressler, Jim's partner before my visit.
Dave said he pulled 139 traps Saturday with the help of his brother. Leaving a few dozen set so Dave can check until the Lion lands back on his feet.

Dave stated Jim hit his goal on Mink Saturday.
I told Jim, Dave said he hit his goal. Did you ever see a Lion smile? He was purring like a kitty.

*I'll try to keep updates.

Best wishes Nittany lion... GO PENN STATE !!!!

routing for ya Nittany.inch of rain and 60 mile an hour winds have brought me to the conclusion its time to pull for a while.

Get better Ninny.
Big Thanks to the helper, we're sure it makes the Lion rest easier.

No wind here YET, news says 50 mph coming soon.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery Jim. You know the doctors will have you not doing much, & with the heart catheterization, I know you will not be doing much all week.

Here is my first Pa. Fisher, big male weighed 12 lb. 13 ozs.. Did have another post on the form.

Hey Nittany, I wish you a speedy recovery.

And to all of the people on trapperman, hope you all have a safe and healthy New Year.

Coytclr,
Nice fisher. What county did u catch it in, and what kind of set?

Well, got my kitty. We will not talk about how many miles were driven, how much energy expended, or how many empty traps were checked to get there. Actually, I got a bigger bobcat the next day (of course) and had to release him.

I hope to get one these last few days. Going going to set on a new location

Nice cat PaSkinner!

Congrats on the cat!

Congrats, looks like a nice one..

Perry County 4B, just added to the Fisher season this year. Used wire cubby.

PAskinner, Congratulations on the Bobcat, nice looking. Don't think you were the first one this year that caught a cat & then caught another one & had to leave go. I forget if I read that or a video, but he had his same day. As put down the first one, & as kept checking traps had another one, that was bigger.

Just pulled my line. Back to work tomorrow. 2018/2019 season totals. trapping 120 Acres mostly mountain.
