Looking forward to running a decent line again this year,Scott 330 is my guest this year,hoping to get him some of his bucket list critters 1st bobcat and 1st marten.Last year was the first time I never set a trap for bobcat or marten,way too much snow 30 plus inches and this year I don't know if we will have ANY snow,must be golbal warming lol.Look forward to some of our regulars that bring their kids up every year and younger adults that Jim has been helping the last 5 or 6 years.Good luck trapper's.

The fisher will be tough with no snow. It is hard to find any sign. The Bob cats I know where they are, they just need to cooperate.

Might put out a few weasel boxes also,the MTA needs more fur,hope to donate some coyotes,fox,bobcat maybe an otter and some weasels.Tim said he missed my tanned fur last year,I told him I hadn't trapped so I didn't have my usual 10 to 12 pelts to donate.

following. Good luck everyone. I will be trying to get my first this year as well. Last year with all the snow and very cold temperatures I couldn't connect with any. Due to my work schedule, I only had 10 days.

I'm hoping Savell will Photoshop me into a pic with you two. That'd be awesome.

Scott, bring your track shoes as Rick likes to go at a fast pace! Sounds like Rick has lots of sign and Hope the critters cooperate for you. Wish I was there to get in on the fun but I know your in good hands. Good luck!

Set near brush piles...rock walls...streams ....hemlock canopy...edge of beaver dams...use pure quill / petroleum jelly mixture

Dab some beaver lure on the bait.

I imagine I'll go out.

I hope it don't snow for a couple more weeks. I'm having fun chasing the partridge.

Good luck guys, we decided we are going to come up again this year, wasn’t planning to since they moved the season up and my kids can’t join us now. Hopefully we’ll see the season back during a week the kids are off school in the future.

Is there any snow left in the woods? I spent two days south of you last week right after the snow and only saw 2. It was a bit windy though. I need to get a good dog.
