Definitely another cool looking Red. Might even be one of them “coyotes” all those deer hunters see. lol

21° last night at dark, 18° this AM when I left the cabin. 20 mph wind gust through the night.

So Hobbie- what deciding factor made you pick that set location? Was wind the key factor? Looks like an alder stand running into a woodland and I would've set the inside corner but you're the Boss on Reds.

The corner would be an excellent spot, for everything. I’m not looking to plug sets with everything. Don’t have to move far but moving sets a few feet away from those “corners” will reduce the number of grinners and coons that will find them.

Yesterday I saw where the runner went into the woods and hung a snare there. Disappointed by a chew out just as we rolled up.

I missed Yesterday's Post- yup- I would've set there too.

This Red is more Blonde than red. lol

Wonder which one has the most value. lol

Another nugget of info just in case a newbie is lurking.

After several catches at the location at the top of the page I started getting backside and side digging.





I put down two fresh traps two feet up wind from the original locations. That was Monday, a catch yesterday and again today at the new location.

That video is like a scene from a Monty Python movie, the tree line looks like it should be getting closer but it also never seems to!

Sure wish we still had reds in abundance. Great for you though they are fun

You got a place for them? We can ship you a truck load and not miss them.

We’ll trade coyotes then the red problem will end for you

I love red fox trapping. Great except for the fleas.

Hobbies that dark fox is really cool looking. Is that color common in your area?


I will take a truck load if you are offering lol.

I put them in a garbage bag with raid for an hour or 2 before skinning. I don't like the smell of raid but hate fleas.

It is not normally but I am seeing quite a few this year. Not sure why.

That is interesting for that color to pop up like that. I would tan that one and put it on the wall.
