All of our traps are able to be checked . wr pulled some today that would be compromised with this next weather system. We spent most if the day digging out sets so they are operational. I've dealt with those type of conditions. Depending on where your sets are at just being operational may not be good enough, especially for coyotes. That snow will completely change their travel patterns. Once that snow hardens, they just travel willy nilly anywhere they please. Look for good cover with good food sources like tree rows that did not drift all the way in. Good time to break the snares out. Happy trapping.

I seen multiple sets of coyote tracks today on top of drifts that they were not sinking into,

Got some bitter cold coming today and through next Thursday, plus more snow guys. Windchills here this weekend will be -35 . Good luck! Not for me, I pulled sets ahead of this. Jim

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Tough trip Mark. I sure understand the mud scenario and the road/farm path conditions. Makes it impossible to get where you need to be unless you walk it. I do not have any experience with drifting snow and deep freeze conditions and have no desire check off that box either.
I have enjoyed keep up with your trips and glad you made it home safe and still managed to enjoy it in spite of the tough conditions.
Thank you for sharing!

Always an adventure with Mark. Great trip despite what mother nature threw at us. Didn't stop us, maybe slowed us down a little. We just got home Sunday afternoon/evening and I would be happy to return next year. Sure, we can catch fur right behind our houses. It's the adventure and memories that draw me back.
