Has been raining here since yesterday morning.

I used to be the "fair weather" trapper, pulling when rain started and waiting for things to dry back out. I have learned a little on Tman and can now make sets that don't wash out or drown so bad.

Matter of fact I have a game cam on one of my traps and it just sent me a pic of a coyote that got caught about 20min ago

Hope some of it's friends get caught in the other 3 that are real close

WTG BTL! Critters move during these fronts!

The way it's raining now I think my cat sets may have become beaver sets.

If we only trapped when dry then that would be the late summer months, lol. Critters move before, during breaks, and after the rain. Sometimes you have to get right up on them to tell what the mudball is, but a catch is a catch, lol.
The good news is traps are easier to pull after a good soaking. Our issue is we can’t get normal rain…a flood or nothing at all. A nice soaking rain would be ideal, especially if it turns cold after. A warm rain is guaranteed Possum time!!!

git er done nephew !!! Next summer during the drought get you some contractor bags and fill them with what ever dirt you might need. Tie them up sit them around behind the shed , in barn somewhere out of the way ...


They will be there if and when ever you need them.

Planning ahead? You do realize this is Savell we're talking about? lol

enough old barns here and bridges we can find a lot of dry dirt.

... rain came through quick and wasn’t as bad as advertised lol

... peat did its job and the coyote started bitin ..











.... and a hind footer just for Jtrap lol

... looks like I came in behind an amateur

Little disappointed in u Savell.... figured with your photography skills u could make one catch look more like a dozen.... never figured u for the humble type

Nice job Savell.

About time, so far this ride along has been about as exciting as a feed store checker game!

Lovelady is my weather page too. Your getting mighty close to my trapping area. Lol

Great pics and good looking dirt and country! Your coyotes make ours look very very bad!!

Great catch Savell , no kitties yet ?

Morning Savell, you sure are having your way with those pretty doggies. What about cats! Show me the money!
Our ranch was doing really well on the precip until the last of the Mohican cloud came over just as the system was exiting to Arkansas or parts east and north. It was this dark red thingy on radar.
So me and the biologist and the ranch hands all sat here and watched it rain 1.4 in about 15 minutes.
So......
with the sticky dirt......
that rarely sees moisture......
The biologist went and did paperwork.
The ranch hands changed oil all day on the fleet of rigs around here.
And I prayed for sun which we got yesterday.

You and I both know that the name of the game in trapping is called perseverance.
And I like your P sir. I can taste it on this here Tmaner thingy just as if I was over fer supper.
Get 'em all and SHOW ME THE MONEY!

Blessings,
Mark

That rain that went through fast for you settled in up here. Keep at em' .

That's the way to do it! Nice job Savell!

Great pics and catches!!
