2025/2026 Trapping season.

I looked at this closely and can’t figure out what happened. Did it just get bound up somehow?

Left spring in the picture. I test fire every trap in ever box before i leave home, and when I got this one back to the truck I test fired it 3x, I couldn't get it to hang up at the truck either.

Couple of blind sets I put in for mink.
Pretty heavy trail being used.

I'm winding down over here.

I have a few nest robbers I see visually or on cams but won't hit a dogproof.

Most of my leg holds that have been out all season are slow. I had one a oppossum and squirrel have been working for weeks that popped like crazy...go figure.

How long are y'all getting out of your gear? I think my leg holds may be shot. We have salty soil and high precipitation and humidity. A few are slow. Some are hanging up from friction or getting run over.

Dog proofs seem bulletproof but I had a couple get intertidal. I had a few that were dead traps from congealed meat and bait plugging up the trigger. I got lazy and put dirt hole bait in a few when I ran out of cat food. It makes me cringe when I see folks recommending sardines.

1 male opossum tonight.
