Night 6.

Put 22 dog proofs out on 94 acres yesterday. First run today was 3 possums. Fairly cold for our area. May have slowed things up. I was hoping for more.

Been playing cat and mouse with a lynx the last few weeks. Was set up for fox and he walked over my snare, I dipped and he dodged, etc. so I said enough with it and built a walk-through snare pen for him.



Have another dozen and a half snares out and about along with a few marten boxes. I’m going to start setting a #4 footer at the base of each of my marten sets (offset) as I would have picked up a few more fox already this year had I done that from the start.

Second check on Saturday totaled 3 coons. Warm front coming with some rain Tuesday.

I'm setting my Marten line out on new years day. I had a lot of Fox and coyote visits under my boxes and picked up some snares to try and pick up a few that are checking out my Marten boxes.
Good luck on the lynx, hope to see a picture of it soon!

No bobcats yet but still knocking back the grays

Two more coons today.

Night 10.

Looks like I lost a canine…or rear foot caught a big coon.

I’m leaning towards latter. Easier on the mind.



How many of you would reset this trap as “seasoned” versus move it?

I reset it.

Here’s the rest of my line this am.

Merry Christmas, everyone.

That's a great day, congratulations!!

 

[Scottf270]

Up to six possums and six coons after 5 trap nights. Rain for the 3rd day in a row. Ground is rotten for footholds. Need a week without rain.
