Machias' 2014-2015 Virginia Trapping Season
«

I will mostly be trapping during the weekends which is kind of tough for K9 sets, but going to have a lot of fun this year. Just got permission to trap a 3500 acre chunk of land that has a couple of swamps and 2 miles of river frontage along some really nice ag fields and woodlots. Just a beautiful area.
This morning though I'm on cloud 9!! I set three cage traps day before yesterday and had a nice coon yesterday. Reset and this morning had a real nice surprise, all three traps full and one was a really nice red fox. I'll post some photos shortly!

Never seen a fox in a box trap lol... They are little different looking than the ones we have up here.

If you shoot the first one you will never get that true trophy.

I've seen a few photos of them, but I've never caught one and never dreamed I catch one in such a short trap. Plus I caught him on Vanilla Wafers. Very pleasant surprise this morning! Coons are way down this year, probably looking at $12 to $15 even if you can find a buyer. I'll be sending all mine to the tannery again this year.

Standard coon size trap. Set out several 330s and 220s today and some dogproofs and a few rats sets. Looking forward to tomorrows check. This 3500 acres farm I got permission to trap is like a dream come true. Lots of fields and creeks and 2 miles of river frontage. I'll never be able to trap is all. Found some whopper bobcat tracks. Can't start trapping for k9s and cats until after the first of the year. So excited!
