Trapping catches

[go_deep]

FHA fur auction is over for June.
Anyone send furs up to Canada?
We did ok I think. Bobcats paid $1300+ on 3.
I know we made more than a buyer would have offered, top cat went for $600+ for us.

First year back trapping after 25 years and I only trapped for about a month. Sent everything to a transfer and will keep almost everything, debating on selling a few, but I'll figure that out when I get everything back.

Those are some great prices on cats!

I'm pretty new to trapping. 90% of the trapping I do is to curb nuisance animals locally. Here's a couple small Beaver that were dropping trees around houses. Unfortunately our pelts aren't too good down here in TX.

Have inadvertently caught a couple of otter down here as well.

I was very pleased with the winter FHA sale, I had fisher and beaver on that and glad I did. Opted to sell local with all of my spring beaver and did much better than I would have if I had them on the June FHA sale. Always a guessing game and this year I played it right...

Just saw a group of 21 turkeys on my buddies place where I've been nest predator trapping hard for 4 years. 3 mature toms, 5 Jakes and 13 hens. 4 to 6 years ago you were lucky to hear one gobble.

Killed one gobbler in 2022 and 2 in 2023. I have taken nearly 150 nest predators off his 94 acres in the last 4 years. Trapping may not be the total answer for the rebound in bird numbers, but it's sure a big part of it.

When I lived back in MO, a buddy of mine and I trapped or shot every coon and grinner on my property that we could and had good turkey hunting. Then I moved away and he stopped trapping and I have barely seen a turkey in 20 years.
