Didn't have to wait too long, first beaver set of the year, set yesterday.

One thing about ditching Washington, you get to play with "real" traps.    Nice job Fred    Looking foreard to your first fox.

Got another nice beaver this morning, 55 pounder, same set as yesterday, 330 in front of a castor mound set on the North Anna River in Virginia.  I'll post a photo tonight.

That's a cool picture. How long a stretch of the river do you run?

[Machias]

Just under a mile.

Picked up another coon this morning.  Sure like using these dogproofs!

Great job!!!

[Turner89]

Your killing the racoons I really want to get a few more of them. I think they are the easiest things I've skinned so far.

Christmas Eve coon

That place must be crawling with coons. What do you use for bait in those dog proofs?

[Machias]

I'm trapping three different small farms.  I use a bait from Keg Creek Lures & Baits called Coon Crunch, I also sometimes use a marshmallow and I also use cat food with a few drops of liquid smoke.

That sounds like a good  recipe.
