Jasens 2016-17 season

[JakeLand]

Nothing today. Only deer and weasel tracks everywhere I've been.  Almost 3' of powder right now with more on the way

I hear ya ! With snowshoes on I'm still sinking knee deep

[jasnt]

Wish I had snow shoes but at 270lbs and nothing but powder snow I Dout they would help at all. Im still having a blast and won't give up.  I'm sure if I moved one of my cat sets farther down I have better luck but that would add 40 min to my line. I know come feb this cat will be running this area hard. He is a large tom or I wouldn't give him the time

[JakeLand]

I've been keeping a kinda journal on all my cats this year and the one thing they all have in common is that every cat has been caught with straight castor and oil sacks mixed with glycerin and nothing else and a big chunk of beaver

[jasnt]

Good to know. I been using greys and spots and that special mix you told me about but I don't think anything will help when the cats just aren't there. Only thing keeping me going is the knowledge from last year,  when the snow melts the cats are everywhere. Can't wait till thaw.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to get some cats on the east side where they were Hitting prebait a month ago now they're not and only getting yotes so I'm sticking to the books as in where I know they were and trying to keep fresh beaver in and lots of castor

[jasnt]

Moved my trap from where I caught the brown weasel to another spot few days ago. Truck is almost fixed again.  Hope this warm front coming gets things moving again

[jasnt]

Traps are all shut. Taking a short break

Well I broke my dry spell today. Big beaver.  Got some rat sets in where I seen their clean trails running under the cut banks.  Beaver set is in the left chanel

Feels pretty good. Hoping to have some rats next check.

I agree they are quick and easy and with a few areas set the come in faster then you can free up stretchers for the next batch! 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!
