Machias' 21-22 Idaho Season
« on: December 13, 2021, 06:15:16 PM »
Not going to be running much of a line this year due to really bad knees, but will have a few coyote and beaver traps out.  Put in a couple of sets 2 days ago.  Of course the water level rose quite a bit and both sets were about 8 inches under water.  Went back this morning and got a nice beaver in a area they are working pretty hard.  Managed to get in an additional 3 sets for a total of 5.  Real good shot of picking up an otter or two as well.

Fighting  a bad knee myself. Climbing river banks and kneeling is tough. I feel your pain!

Set where you can and trap as much as possible. Good luck!
If I need a permit and education to buy a firearm than women should need a permit and education  before getting an abortion.

Voting for Democrats is prima facie evidence you are a skirt wearing, low T, beta male. Do better.

Have you tried beaver tail? Seen it in Meateater cookbook and curious if someone other than Rinellas have an opinion on it.

I always skin out the tails and have the leather tanned.  I would not eat that for a wheel barrel full of money.  :)

Thanks every one, Merry Christmas!!
