Rats

[Blue]

I set six colony traps last night at a few culverts I trapped last year, and I had seven rats this morning. One was a double and a rat in every trap. To bad it's not always like that. So I set a few more today. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

 How'd they look? I'm..... trying.... to ..... hold out!           But that pic may push me over the edge.

Looks like someone has some skinning to do !!!

Bowhunters45... I've already skinned them. My youngest son usually helps me skin but he is away at collage in Spokane now. So I lost my trapping buddy. He is a rat skinning fool. I'm sure going to miss him even more now. 3nails... I couldn't hold out. It's like Christmas morning to me.

Nice job on the rats Blue!

It feels good to be back in the skinning shed again. Last year I trapped about thirty beavers, but this year I'm not going to trap any. Way to much work and very little pay. Rats and Cats that's it.

im gonna try for at least 50 beaver.Just getting some more traps.I dont know why but i just love trapping them.

I like trapping them too, just wished they skinned like rats.......

Today's rat catch of twelve. I had three triples in three colony's. Hey 70sdiver...I love trapping them too, but it takes to long by the time you catch them skin them flesh them and stretch them it's two or three hours each. Last year I averaged thirty four dollars each at NAFA.  Some of them where extra large blankets. That's just me though. Good luck trapping. Hey pnwmtnmn... if they skinned like rats I would go for at least one hundred this year. When I was a kid we could take them in whole to the fur buyer and he would take some off the price for skinning. I wish they still did that.

Great catch blue. I was gonna hold out on rats for a while but after seeing this I might set out tonight!

You better hurry hardkorrhunter before I get em all. haha,  Hannibal where are they located?

[bob maier]

George is at Pateros, he travels to the tricities. If you have the freezer space freeze them whole until George comes thru. No skinning, just freeze and sell.

Only six rats today. Most of the colony's were filled with leaves from the wind.
