Had to pull traps for a few days and had a bit of a dry spell.  Two coons yesterday and one coon and a young beaver today.  One of the coons yesterday managed to get both is front feet into a Bridger #5 coilspring I had set up on a drowner.

Lots of skinning 😉
If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

Had a fun morning this morning.  Yesterday I got a new farm to trap, went in and put in 3 new sets and had a nice big female and male waiting for me this morning.  Caught the female on a T-Bone set and the male on a scent post set.







He was very talkative!





Nice pad catch with the MB 550, love these traps!





Nice load in the pack basket  :)
