Congrats on a dam big beaver.  :sry: couldn't help it.
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

You may just be one person in this world. But you may be the world to just one person.

I just place 3 cat traps out today. Only thing that bugs me is hound hunters driving by as I set my cat trap. Hmmmmmmmm The 2 hounds were sitting on top of there box barking up a storm. As I drove down the road I could see in the snow hound and boot prints. Do hound hunter really hunt coons at 1pm or mostly at night. I can see coon hunting at night. I think they were looking for cat tracks in the snow. Hope the hound don't find my sets

:bash: I'm taking a chance I chained and cabled the traps. Just crossing my fingers. I should put trail cams just in case.

Well the week was slow.  :'( but Today was a good day.   :mgun:  :llam:  :whoo:  :4w: 2 cats out of 5 traps. First trap looks like a cat got away. 2nd and 3rd had a cat inside. 4th and 5th trap. A bear ran off with the 4th one. Found it 50 yards away. The 5th one I drove a land anchor into a root and lock it. ( Well it turns out I caught a pet dog with the 5th one. The ower got the dog out she was ok. I reset all traps with little to no bait left just bones and feathers. Crossing my fingers.

Nothing today in the cat sets. Checked the 1 land beaver set and nothing. I will check the swim thru's after 72 hours. Trying to let beaver spots rest. Those smart beaver know when I am there. Lol smart suckers. I was able to get 3 more cat sets out today. Thats 8 on my trap line. I don't like the snow. You can see ever spot I stop at and walk i to. Sticks out big time. At least it was still snowing after I was done. It helps cover my trails. I placed most of my traps so I can check them on the drive. with binos.

Well started out good. First check and I had a nice beaver. Checked my cat traps and all empty. Seen 4 otters in a pond down from my swim thrus. So i placed fish, shell fish oil on a log in front of my sets. plus a chunk of otter gland. Pulled the dam set and placed my Bailey there. Took the guiltine trap that was on the dam and placed it down streem from the otters. Did water/land set. Happen to have a can of sardines and otter lure. Crossing my fingers......😊  as I was finishing up. I could hear some one talking. Hmmmmm I walk out and drove down the road. Dang it not again.😠  The guy walking his dogs back home. :bash:  Crap I am a mile from this guys house. Talked to him and I caught his dog again. The one from last season. Plus caught his other dog Wednesday night after I check the traps. So that trap was the guy rolled over not a bear. Lol So I pull the cat trap but left the otter set. Tomorrow I will set 2 swim thru trap there in the creek.
