Heading out tomorrow to get part of my line setup. Found a really good slough loaded with beaver and rats. Also will be setting dozen buckets with 220's for coon. I'll have a dozen MB 550's for canines. Wish me luck.
Here are the traps I have ready to set for tomorrow.

Your going to make yourself work skinning lol.

Thanks woodchuck! Let's hope so teacherman. I was able to get a few of my rat traps out today. Spent a lot of time looking for bubbles in ice, finding the entrance to their huts. Got some of those set, funny thing was, as I was dropping some duke #1's in two of the huts, had my conibears snap on me at the hut entrance. Nailed two rats as I was setting! Weather was crappy. Storm moving in, but hopefully some animals will be moving into my coon sets.

Had a nice surprise on the 1st check. Coon sets were empty. Through out 6 more muskrat sets and couple blind mink sets. Easier to see all the activity with the fresh snow, but man was it a cold one out today

TeacherMan · « **Reply #6 on:** November 12, 2014, 08:54:34 AM »

Role those critters in that fresh snow to dry them quickly! Don't want frozen guard hairs.

JODakota · « **Reply #7 on:** November 13, 2014, 12:55:34 PM »

Thanks teacherman! That works quite well! Nailed 3 more rats on the line today. Had two misses in the #1 longs, even with a drowning rig. Win some lose some.

JODakota · « **Reply #8 on:** November 13, 2014, 06:48:21 PM »

3 on the stretchers, 1 about to come off. This group was pretty small, but great fur!

Very cool. My gpa used to trap in South Dakota in the 40's to help bring in extra income. Best of luck this year.

Thanks you! South Dakota is a great place!

Spent the day getting my rat traps out. Found an area with about a thousand huts, not even going to be able to put a dent in that population trapping only 10 days a month. Anywho, I'll get my canine sets out tomorrow and post an update.

JODakota · « **Reply #19 on:** December 07, 2014, 01:05:24 PM »

Connected on 7 rats today, had several pull outs, through out an additional dozen rat traps. My wife decided to come with, she had a blast! Carry on down the line.

Nice looking rats!

JODakota · « **Reply #23 on:** December 08, 2014, 12:08:19 PM »

Caught 6 today, should've been 10. 1 pull out, two with the foot left and one mink got to my rat, hopefully tomorrow I'll have him caught.

JODakota · « **Reply #24 on:** December 08, 2014, 01:48:26 PM »

are you trapping under the ice now?

JODakota · « **Reply #31 on:** December 10, 2014, 10:20:11 AM »

Bone, I'm all about the rats! Thanks machias! Da stump, yes everything is froze up here so it's all under ice. Here's 8 more for the day. Still no canines, hopefully soon.

JODakota · « **Reply #32 on:** December 10, 2014, 04:00:49 PM »

Some more to be fleshed and stretched

Woodchuck · « **Reply #33 on:** December 10, 2014, 04:02:05 PM »

Wow man, you are kickin butt.

JODakota · « **Reply #34 on:** December 11, 2014, 08:06:50 PM »

Thanks woodchuck! Pulled 90% of traps yesterday (getting ready to go back to work) left the canines out and 5 rat traps. Went 5 for 5. Until January!
