"....Speaking of which I am using old plastic political advertising signs this year. So far they work great thanks trapperman for that neat easy to make stretcher!"



Thank you for this tip.  I have access to a bunch of old political signs, enough for to many muskrat stretchers.

only been seeing cougar tracks. Not even coyote. Crazy year sofar. Still got my land sets closed. Just can't afford a daily check right now

Been sick as a dog last few days. Getting ready to go check.  For the first time ever I hope I don't have a big beaver to pack out.  This flu is kicking my butt.

 That sucks. Went through it a couple weeks ago. Wished I didn't have traps out at the time.

[Humptulips]

I was down with it the whole month of December. Worst flu I can remember.

[trapperguy22]

I got right now worst I remember

[bear hunter]

  Sorry your sick. I was luck I didn't get it.

My wife, both kids and me are all dealing with a nasty cold. Not as bad as the flu but still sucks. Took my youngest to the doc today because her cold has gotten to the point she's having a hard time breathing and they sent us home with a nebulizer.

Jeez this is really one heck of a flue if it is cross state! Everyone in my house had it for two weeks!

[jasnt]

This is the worst I've had ever! It normally skips me even when everyone else around me gets it.  But not this time.

What say did you get it? The worst of it is usually 5 days.

Monday night I started feeling it. Today wasn't hell. Still very sore but was able to play in the shop a little this afternoon.  Looking forward to my next check.  When I caught that last beaver I seen it had left some unchewed sticks just a little up stream from my set. Well last check I see they had been cleaned and a few more added to it so I fenced off the run next to the set hoping they go threw my set instead of swimming 40 yards back down stream to go around and brave the fastest water.  Rat sets where all moved around so I anchored them and did more fencing. Might be otters messing around again. Saw some big orange stains in the snow with mud streaks coming from the river. Never seen that before the snow melted a bit and froze back up so now it's thick and crunchy and only us heavy critters are leaving tracks.   Also learned I got a leak in the crouch of my waders.

2017: the year of leaky waders! My two buddy's and me have killed two sets of chest waders and three sets of hip waders in the last month!
