Well after a two day soak checked my traps and had one swimthru set off at the crossover. and two large muskrats in one of the colony traps. not a bad start and the ice is starting to break up.  :tup:

Hey Kip,

Hows the ice up in your neck of the desert? Looks like your season is going well. Are you getting your beaver in swim throughs?

The big water is starting to break up, most of the ditches are free, Don't know what O'sullivan looks like yet. Spots where I'm trapping I break through in some and safely walk on top in some.

Using the swimthrus that Ted and I built.
