Norman89 18/19 season

[Norman89]

This is the first job I've done in a semi public spot so I was kinda Leary of this happening. I stop the truck in the same 3 spots every night to check my sets so it's not a stretch to think a neighbor somewhere sees me every night and decided to see what I was doing and didn't like it. The home owner assured me non of his neighbors would do this but people are wierd I could see it in the world we live in. Even if it took them trespassing to do it

I worry about the same thing, losing a swim threw or bobcat cage would sting a bit

[Skyvalhunter]

Since u have permission. It should fall under harassment, trespassing or property damage right?

[Greyhound]

Malicious Mischief 3rd degree would be the crime.  Low level misdemeanor impossible to prove without a witness.   

[Norman89]

No witness no cameras no nothing that's why I just let it go, no sense getting tourqued off and angry at something that's done and over with. I'll replace the cage and still enjoy trapping just the same

Sound wisdom.

On to the next job, the farmers neighbors. 3 creek systems in about a 3 mile by 1/2mile piece of the valley and it seems every one has beaver problems, these folks have 2 creeks on the property both dammed up there back field is about a foot under water and it's at least a 5 acre field so I set out 4 traps today for them and a few colonys that are in the ditch in front of his house burrowing holes under the road and into his lawn. This lodge has been here for a very long time, I found runs so deep I could have made my hat float if I stepped in them! Going to have to use my little plastic sled to float out anything I catch I'm thinking haha few pics of the lodge and the set locations for you guys

[Norman89]

The lodge

[Norman89]

And the set locations, 1 set as Bruce does in a cross over and 3 in pinch pounts with natural dive logs or debri

[3nails]

 I like that last set.

[Norman89]

Love those natural dive logs they almost always pay off good. Good chance at an otter at this location as well (fingers crossed)

[Norman89]

Things I love to see on the first day of a new location....

[Norman89]

Had to take some pics with my boys when I got home my best single day catch yet!

[Norman89]

Going to have to wait till I get a new scale to measure this guy tomorrow he is an absolute best, 1/4 of his tail gone from fighting!

Nice haul, that's a hell of a first check on new land.
