Josh's First Season

[Josh_D.]

I was able to set my traps on opening day but yesterday I took the tips of two of my fingers off with a tablesaw.  I pulled my traps untill I get use of my hand back.  Lucky me I had a muskrat in my colony trap!  Very dark pelt even though he is a little guy.

Congrats & hope u can get traps back out soon!

Congrats bud. Good luck with the hand. Gotta be a story behind that!  Hope ya heal fast!

My fingers are back in action!  Most of the fingernail will grow back and doc said in a year or two the cold sensitivity will go away.  This morning I caught a huge muskrat!  Caught in Jesse (Ouchfoss's) marten trap baited only with some beaver castor.  I made a spot in the bank look like a beaver had broken through the ice and slid up on shore.  Thats where my trap funneled the rat in.  The beavers keep dodging my cages.  I really wish we could use conibears under water.

I agree I wish I could go back to using them too, there is no better beaver killer than a conni. Nice work on the rat.

[ouchfoss]

Nice! That is a pretty big rat! 

[Trapper John]

Those table saws .......... you have got to watch them.  I know several guys that have lost fingers on them.
Glad you back in business.
Good Job on the fur
