2024/2025 Trapping thread

Got a line out today. Mostly bobcat, but put a few mink and muskrat traps out since I'm already there.
Good luck everyone!

I went 2/2 on the first night. 30 and 50lb. Got a few more sets in, hopefully have an otter tomorrow.

Had a line out last week and hit pretty well. Walked away with a fox, a coyote, and 5 coon.

Weasel, in a bobcat set.

Trapping is a thing here in Germany, but not on the kind of property I lease for hunting as it belongs to the forest service and they don't allow it.
Mostly due to altercations with non-hunters.

You can only trap fox, badger, weasels, pine Martin, stone Martins and raccoons (yes we have introduced raccoons). Raccoon dogs and golden jackals do not live in this area, and it is illegal to trap wolves.

I have thought about putting traps in my yard for Martens. But they can't be killing traps, they have to be live traps and you are limited on what kind of bait you can use. Most guys catch a lot of rats and stray cats.

Been warm, so guess what's been hitting up the bobcat traps?
Based on hair, looks like a missed a coyote in a bobcat trap too. Mink traps have done nothing...
