SW, have you sold any fur yet this year?
No. Only have GFW as an outlet....unless I want to scrape and board...and I don't. GFW runs the southern route in late March. I'm on my last freezer now, but it has plenty of room to get me thru until then.

Very nice geographical features and beauty in this area about 3 miles below the Ga-Fl line. Lots of deer and turkeys. Large sink holes over 100 ft deep and 100 yds across and lots of exposed limestone with waterfalls along the creeks. Water in this main creek flows into a large sink and disappears underground...no water outlet. Nice terrain to trap. Beavers are messing up some of the natural flow.

Thought this was a beaver, but closer inspection showed it was a gator (about 4 to 6 feet). Why he strolled out ino that bedded ag field...who knows. Only captured an otter on this check.. Perhaps someone had a FoxPro blaring the bunny blues? Gator came to investigate and caught the downwind. Lol. Thought..., can a gator be called in?
swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo

Patrick, does Florida have a limit on otter? So many states do that have long term, established populations. So stupid. No otter limit in Florida. Otter season ends March 1st....one day longer than Georgia season. I'm pulling the Florida job tommorrow.....that'll be 7 days. Had a surprising check today (after moving some traps to other locations and setting a couple new snares yesterday. 5 beavs and another otter today. 4 beavs in snares, 1 in Belisle, otter in Belisle. 10 beavs and 7 otter as of today down there.

Swamp, I'm wondering about those gator tracks in that field...is it possible it was a turtle? Egg laying time with that heat possibly? Just wondering.... I'll try and take better pics in the morning.....long toes as big as my thumb on long back feet... Thought beaver at first due to flat drag marks....then I figured a nice snapper.....but.... After seeing those bigger long toes and better tail drag marks...it was definitely a small gator. They're moving down here.
