Still can't figure out how to post pics but had another double on rats this morning!  Had to cross the beaver damn to check my sets and Mr beaver was not happy he tail slapped at me four times while I was fetching my rats out. Puts me up to 8 rats and a grey squirrel in a raccoon set. Order up some conibear triggers and number 1 1/2 music wire springs from fnt for my swim through thanks to Bruce for advice on that one! Also got some dobbins back breaker and lesel rueswatts all predator paist bait to try out. Any one work with either of these before?

Are you posting from a phone or a computer? If a phone, is it an iPhone? I just fixed an apple issue. You might try it again. Usually when photos just plain won't post, it's because they're too big and need to be resized.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

i feel your beaver frustrations! But on the bright side, at least your not chiseling threw 4" of ice to check your sets :tup:  one thing I started doing was steaking my traps in place so they can't move it. Hope you get them soon

:yeah: I stake the sides of mine also. 
 That little bit of ice that I delta with was a pain. I wouldn't want to deal with what you have going on.

Well got another rat tonight that makes nine out of this creek that is only a half mile long anyone know how many more could be in the colony? Iv read up to twenty but I don't want to over trap this creek since it has been such a good harvest for my first year id like to keep the population. Healthy for next year!

Well Norm
Than I think you already answered your own question if you want to keep it healthy and have some for next year.  Pull now or run to an even number (10)  :tup:
