OK guys and gals of all ages. I love to see trapping pictures of all kinds and the pictures are a little slow right now. Figure I can get those cameras rolling again with a nice little contest. As sportsman that are truly united in controlling the predator population the contest will be open to all trapping related animals in Indiana. I am not picky, if it has a legal animal and a trap in the picture it is fine. (please try to control the amount of blood due to forum rules)I will not participate due to the fact my wife(the one that wont allow me to quit my day job to trap) and my 11 year old daughter (which prefers young men holding there catch ) will be doing the judging. This is an honor system contest so please be truthful. Any critter caught from now till Feb. 15 will be allowed. Dead or alive, trapper in or out of the picture, funny or serious does not matter. After the ladies have made there decision I will announce the winner and they will have to send me an address to ship there prize to them. What is the prize you might ask? First part is bragging rights for the year . Second part will be a flat rate box with a few used traps in it. All the traps will be from my stash but will be less then a years use on them. Not sure what all I can fit in the box but it will be well worth the time to post a picture. It will include at least 1 - Z-Trap , 1 - 110 duke conibear, 1 - 1 1/2 duke foot hold and a few snares. This contest is for fun so go catch something.

I'll play hopefully I'll get on the board this weekend.

This Is a awesome gesture thank you bassbum for offering your time. To add to your prize I am offering tanning and will offer a free tan to the winner also. As long as it Is their animal and caught legal I will tan it for no cost. I'm located near Greensburg and will make sure getting the animal to me is not a problem. I also will not participate but let's get those pictures going and have some fun.

Thanks for adding to it pse. A free tanned fur would be a great deal on someones first catch. Hopefully it will bring out some new faces.

I think the best pic I have seen was the grinner by the bottom lip in the DP!! I LOL at that one!

That's awesome guys. I'm glad I finally got a few sets out today. Is it One pic per trapper or can a trapper post several trapping pics?

Post as many as you would like. I want to see every catch.

Well I think you put the he on us.. haha may have to use old pictures just to get this going bassbum.

I'll play as well

I think you might be right. Maybe this warmer weather will turn it around.

Ok I'll start it

I got skunked again today, pulled my coon sets but left my coyote. Not fun walking .5 mile across a soupy bean field.

Here's a pic from the "Yote-Cam".

On Jan 13th he's out hunting, shown here. Three short days later he's anchored to the frozen ground a half mile away.

He looks better in this first pic though

Nice pics guys!

How about this one...

Here is a bandit I caught.

Nothing like a muddy coon to start the day off right.

Peek-a-Boo:

And had to wake him up:

With the snow and cold temps I have here things are not moving to good but back when I was deer hunting I saw a mink come out of a hole on a ditch I went back there 3 days ago after the snow and there were tracks there still so a 110 blocked the hole 3 days later bingo. Oh and I think I am in trouble 9 degrees temp outside didn't slow my trapping buddies down and there was a fight over who held the head so it's the same big male mink just switched who held the head

ding ding ding ^ winner potential.

YUP!!!! ^

The boys have my vote. Not to mention a tanned mink fur looks real nice on the wall

HaHa, have 2 boys also, know what you mean.

Nice pics guys. My daughter has been checking them out. Another 10 days and we will have a winner.

Congrats to your 2 young men Nickgsp2. Those smiles and a beautiful mink takes the cake. PM me your address and I will hook those boys up with a few nice gifts. It will be later this week before I can get to the post office but will as soon as I get a day off. Great job kids.

Congrats Nick and the two boys for winning. Also thanks to every one else who participated. Nickgsp2 send me a pm or call or text me at 8125607582 and we will see what I can get tanned for the boys.most of all thank you bassbum for putting this on.

Congrats to everyone, fellas! I look forward to the trapping forum every year...

Congrats Nick!

Kudos to bassbum and pse for doing this!

awesome

Great deal !! Congrats

Sweet !

Most certainly the best pic!!! Thats great! Thanks BB!

Hey thanks guys the boys will be excited to hear their picture won. It is a fun sport to get out and do with them they don't have to be quit and they like to see the animals when we catch one and teaching them about it and watching them enjoy it is better than catching something for me lol.

Congrats, I would have voted for them myself!!!

Congrats and thanks for hosting it bassbum, although you put the hex on me.
