Seen a beautiful red fox today. Caught him curled up sound asleep. when he woke up, it was like he couldn't believe I was there! I assume this was his handi work. Ive got the pan set about 4.5lbs just for that reason.



I made the snare about 6" too long……….back feet touched the ground….Female in heat, and she was really stinking!!! Hope her boyfriend comes back looking for her.

Caught 3 coons today they must have really been moving last night. Caught one in a dirthole set, caught one in a snare I had on a run along a fence for coyote, and one in a DP.

Still haven't seen any yote tracks though..

Nice Job Guys.....

Yaz....congrats on "hanging" one!!!!LOL

nice catches yaz and gilley. h.h.

Had success first night out after resetting everything. Another beaver. This one seems small compared to my JUMBO ones since he only weighed 30#.

Good one tony.

Snares were empty today but one was knocked down. I set a new one today too. h.h.

Nice catch Tony. 3 grinners for me today. I'm catching things in three's now. Maybe tomorrow will be 3 coyotes.

One of the prettiest coyotes I have caught. I have plans for her. Had one in the big hole set right next to this scent post. Had it long enough to make a big mess of the set! My fault. When i set it, pan was loose as heck, and I didn't have the tools on hand to tighten it, and it was already staked down…..lesson learned. Knew I should have dug it back up the next day and do it.

Didn't have time for the remakes tonight, as I was running behind on chores. Got a shipment of Carmen's in today. I will set them with a new perfume tomorrow!

Udaman!!!

Cool coyote yaz!!!

Sweet looking yote Yaz.

That's a beauty. She looks relaxed considering the bind she was in.

Beautiful yote Yaz I'm afraid that one would be getting mounted but if you decide to tan her let me know I would be interested in tanning her for you.

Nice congrats.

Congrats Yaz, man you ain't messing around.

Don't have time to mess around Gilley!!! I'm down to one trap in the ground right now, and just a handful of snares up. I made up 10 snares last night and treated them. Hope to get a couple sets remade, and couple new ones in the ground tonight after work. I HATE setting after dark.

I think she was trying to psych me out. She was also wagging her tail like a……well…..like a dog when I got there! It didn't work though…..

Yaz that coyote is a "mini-me" spittin' image of my Husky

Caught one more straggler today. She was flattened out to hide in plain sight.

Yaz, your dog looks like she's got German Shepard in her?

Nice catch to both of you. h.h.

Figured we'd join the fun even tho it's a little late. Been some nice catches, neat pictures, and great advice shared on here... The boys asked for some more traps for Christmas this year, so since they were sort of good, Santa delivered. They've had DPs set in the creek bottom behind our house since November and have yet to catch a single coon. That bottom is usually good for a few coon, but this year has only panned out a couple skunks and a few possums. Last week we decided to run sets for yotes and coon at one of the farms we hunt since we'd seen a ton of yotes there thru the fall. Put some dirt holes out, several snares, and some DPs for coon. Yesterday in our last snare we had to check, we get to it and find this fella just hangin around. Hopefully there are a few more to come in the future... The one yote Tristan dropped in muzzy season... The coons and grinner were from earlier in the week.

Congrats man! Dang...Tristan is growing up too fast!

Thanks bud!!!... Yes, he is growing like a weed now. From the spring turkey season to the fall deer season, we had to get him all new clothes and boots. He outgrew EVERYTHING!!!

X2 on the congrats. In the same boat with Luke. Boots and camo's are getting costly. Good job guys.

Our catch for the day in a colony trap:

man that's a big ole craw daddy! might be enough meat in those pinchers to go after!

You are not a kidding... WOW... I still remember the little boy who shot the big buck a few years back... He ain't little no more...

Bean if there's a record book for mudbugs, you might have a contender!

Odds are...he already ate it. :rolleyes: :p

Great job Steve and Tristan!!!!! Keep after them!!!

Great catches guys. Bean that's the biggest craw I've ever seen. I caught 3 more grinners today. I let the 3 I caught yesterday go now I'm thinking I caught the same 3 again today. Bet I don't catch them again tomorrow.

I caught beaver #5 today. Still trapping the same 4 slides! I caught the 3 huge ones,then had no sign for 10 days. Then they became active again. Now I have caught 2 more in the last 3 days. How many more might have moved in? This one weighed 38#. Need to reset this slide tonight.

Congrats Tony and everyone else. This thread keeps the outdoor experience alive every day. Really appreciate all the contributors.

I wonder how old that crawdude is? His/her age might surprise you.

Good catches to all you trappers. h.h.

That aint a crawdad, its a darn Lobster !!

good running into you the other day at our other hobby Soil and Water Conservation u ate any of those flat tails yet.?? When I was still at Guide We had a annual beaver BBQ they came from all over the factory and feasted on my trapping caught delicacies

No Throwbak. Haven't tried the beaver meat yet. My wife cooks and eats alot of things, but I'm not sure this would be allowed in her kitchen!

Ground up into burger....YUM!!

Ive done that too weed the son in about 5th grade or so took some in for exotic food day all the kids liked it on the BBQ NO FAT ALLOWED be real careful removing Oil and castor gland and dont touch the meat after touching them I crock pot the meat and remove the liquid off the top The tail (rubber to the Backbone) I filet and slice 1/8 in thick and fry like bacon and eat it warm its the best part

Good catches guys I am planning on getting back out soon to finish strong
