Bruces trapline season 2
« on: November 29, 2013, 04:21:15 PM »
Just got started and got this cat. May be a while getting number 2. I fell down today and really did a number on my shoulder. Sitting here with a couple pain killers in me typeing with one hand. Still hurts though and can't do anything with my left arm. Don't see how I can do much trapping until this heals.





Here's what one of my cat sets look like from the road. Same place I caught this cat.

Nice looking set.  How did the belly look on that cat?

That's awesome Bruce. I'm holding out just a little longer then I think I'm gonna pull my water line up onto land for cats and coons I'd love to catch a cat. I'm hoping for snow soon so maybe I can get a look at some tracks so I'm not trying this hole cat trapping adventure completely blind.

I've got a question for the cat master. Is that one of the walk throughs and was it set upside down?

Very nice. I think I might start using my cat and coon sets here in the next week after I get a few more beaver and rats for some bait. Sorry to hear about the shoulder.

No, I built some single door traps for cats that have the same trigger as my double door traps. 10x18x42
Caught two civets in my new pipe traps I had at the Rendezvous this summer also. Co2 worked good on them. Feel like I hit a home run with that idea.

I think not. Hard to say what it is. :dunno: Deer are almost as rare as gold around here anymore. :chuckle:
