Anybody still running traps. I had to take a break due to some lowlifes breaking into the shop on the farm I am trapping. One of the things stolen, my trapping bucket with all my baits, lures, driver and set making equipment. So I should have replacements this week from Minnesota trapline, and hopefully get some more sets in by Wednesday or Thursday.

I pulled everything last Monday after catching the fox with the weather that was forecast. Started resetting yesterday, got 3 DP locations in and two predator sets. Set two more locations today, a dirt hole and a bone in a grab and die set in the edge of a cotton field and another dirt hole where I caught the first fox.

Had a trap dug up at a walk thru next dirt hole that was set Saturday. Could have been stepped in by a Deer, there was a small set of hoof prints in the dirt pattern at the hole set. Planning on setting a trap where I saw the bobcat this afternoon with some tinsel for eye appeal.

I don't have any out now. Our local rut is kicking in so I am hunting right now. Bummer about losing your bait box. I hate thieves. I hope it spilled in their vehicle!

Nothing but a possum that plugged up a dirt hole set. Coons in my river bottom location have disappeared. Three nights with 0 activity.

Well I got my stuff replaced and got 5 sets put in this afternoon. Maybe this wind won’t blow all my dirt away.

Female in a flat set last night.

Nice. Caught another possum in the remake where I caught a possum at a dirt hole set targeting a fox. Finally picked up another coon in the DP's.

Good job guys. I hope to get a dozen out this weekend and work them for a few days into the middle of next week. Parents heard a bunch of coyotes at the farm the past couple of nights. New problem is that they just got two puppies I will have to work around too. Keep posting pics for us.

Caught this big male with a 7mm Rem Mag. Sucker was a stud.

today's catch- Doubled up on one set

Had three yesterday. Total is 13 coons and 12 possum.

Nobody catchin any critters. Post up some pics if you gotem.

Full moon and cold must have made my critters hole up. Left some DP's out that were baited but not set and most of them still had bait when I reset yesterday.

I have a few traps out at the house. Last week, I had something get in and out of an mb550 before my game camera had time to start videoing. No catch circle, just a tiny bit of hair and trap pulled out of the bed. Not sure what went wrong unless the wax was too thick and made the trap slow closing.

Ed,

Just got back from a big family vacation and trying to deer hunt. Got a few pics of a big bobcat while I was gone. Hope to get a few traps back out in the next few weeks. I'm ready to get some coyotes tangled up soon!

Deer?

I've never seen a deer back there. I have videos of a coyote, grey fox and red fox. Not sure how anything got out that quick but by the fact that the coyote (that was showing up regularly) hasn't been back since, I'm thinking it was him. Caught the red fox last night in the same trap.

Here's a couple from the weekend. The boar on the right had a white mask, split ears and facial scars from fighting.


This catch this morning makes #55 off a combined 3300 acres. I've personally caught 33 of those (19 Coon 14 possum). Our goal is to hit 100 by the beginning of Turkey season. Once deer season is out I'll really get some traps out on this place. Only hitting the edges of the main dirt road right now.

Get all them egg eaters.

Something got ahold of this opossum before we got to it.
