Had a big day on nesters today. After our 3 weeks of crap weather, I set 18 cuffs yesterday and got 5 coons and 2 possums.

Anyone here in SC? IF so, I have 70 acres i need someone to trap coyotes, beavers and coons if you want to. I have caught 10 coons myself since december. PLenty more. Cant catch the damn coyotes tho. Have not bought any conibear for the beavers. Cherokee county if you want to PM me.

Starting to put up fur to finish and to ship out to the auction. Starting out slow, I figure I'd rather make a mistake on one or two, rather than a half a dozen at once.

3 more coon and a possum today. Got heavy rain coming. Popped all the cuffs and will let it dry out a few days. No need to rut up the roads and fields.

Night 43.

I left the box traps out when ground trap season started mostly out of apathy but rationalized with curiosity and I’m still intrigued when they prefer pizza and old baked chicken to the foot hold traps nearby.



I’m getting to the point in the game where I’m pulling stuff that’s awkward to get to or I can’t put eyes on going full speed in the SXS. We have 4 weeks left here. I’m repositioning of course. I put eyes on an opossum that was eating the merganser last night that didn’t come back after I left or didn’t meet pan tension trip point. Target!
