No pictures.
I officially suck. I haven't been catching anything except the occasional civet. No sprung traps or anything, just nothing happening.

So just when you think things can't get worse they do. Had my first cat trap stolen today. :mgun2: :mor:
Only thing to lessen the pain it was one of the first traps I made and was pretty much a clunker. I been thinking about junking it, now I won't have to. Still makes me mad.
Unlikely spot to get it stolen too. I think they must have had a dog to find it. Stolen on Christmas I guess.

Bruce,
I hate Trap Thieves.  The worst I think is that the one that took it is always another trapper.   :sry:

Maybe this will make you feel better but I've been sick for a week now.  I had to go out and pull my traps a few days back  :bash: that didn't help me out any either just made me more sicker.  I'll be back soon I hope.

I honestly don't think it was a trapper. Used to lose a few every year but this is my first cage to walk.

Otter#5


This will probably be the last picture I'll post here. My father has been getting increasingly worse and takeing more of my time. I finally have decided I can't trap and take care of him both so the trapping is done. Had my sister look after him while I picked up all the traps yesterday. Well, I left a couple out that are close but after last night I think they will be gone today.

 Sorry to hear that about your dad, Bruce. I understand removing the traps as it can consume so much time and family comes first.
