Bobcat sets,there are two locations sorry didn't get nothing but finished product,in the back of the trap is a feather with a fake eye on it,the lure is under the trap below pan.PS..when you secretly fling a little lure on your 29 yr old son in the woods,he says you stink the rest of the day....

but then on his way home he calls and reminds me just how not right I can be,when he realizes its on him..I just kill myself sometimes

I'd probably be dumd enough for that one

How about a bottle of JD instead of a feather

Looks good

Great looking sets Rasbo. I also like to leave the back open on some of my sets and some I like to brush in like yours. Nice looking cubbies. Do you guys have skunks out this time of the year? If so, be careful when approaching

shoot-em-dead · « **Reply #9 on:** November 23, 2009, 11:11:18 PM »

Neat, I have never seen how they trap critters.

I'm sure there are skunks out...I'm worried if I leave the back clear they will dig under from the backside..after setting these up.I'm thinking I want guillotine traps....

Here kitty kitty kitty......

Hannibal · « **Reply #13 on:** November 25, 2009, 06:45:06 AM »

making a wire nose cone will make it easier to set up without having to worry about the door being able to close properly.....
Some use a cut piece of plywood that is as long as the trap WITH door open
The benefit of making the entrance out in front of the trap is in the snow...allowing the door to close and lock.......
I have some yancy trap that are guillotine.... weather and rust affect the operating system

Schroeder fur out of Nebraska make some quality cages...

Good luck to ya!

Hey Rasbo,
I dont know how long you have had your traps out but if you set them on good sign then I would leave them for at least 10 days. It has been my experience that when I set on good cat sign if I dont have one in a couple of days I usually get them in the 7-10 day mark. Good Luck!

rasbo · « **Reply #23 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:00:29 PM »

well cylvertip and I met and he gave me two beavers,hide on...I skinned one just a while ago and it was cool...note to self don't puncture glands.another note to self,wear raingear bibs,,note to self don't let wife catch you skinning beaver on the tailgate of her truck..note to self beaver ass stinks..even though I didn't trap these I cant help but get caught up in what the old trappers might be thinking or doing back then..really a cool feeling...thanks Eric..Oh,and rainshadow built me a scaled down version of a Russell buffalo skinner,that knife works great on beaver...

Kain · « **Reply #24 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:33:52 PM »

Thats awesome. I saw a dead beaver on the freeway and wanted to stop and pick it up but couldnt.

Kain · « **Reply #25 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:36:25 PM »

Have yo thought about trying something like this? http://www.wasatchwild.com/teaser.html I think it would work good to get cats closer to your set.

Might just be a gimmick.

Machias · « **Reply #26 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:37:29 PM »

I love skinning beaver, it's one of my favorite furs to put up. (The rest of you...quit that

)

high country · « **Reply #27 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:45:07 PM »

I had good luck with goruse wings, but like mentioned, it seemed to take about 2 weeks before I had to club a cat.

jager · « **Reply #28 on:** January 07, 2010, 12:01:08 AM »

Nice sets!
I cant wait to see whats in them.

Cylvertip · « **Reply #29 on:** January 07, 2010, 12:06:12 AM »

Rasbo, glad to help.

Thanks for the call, I hope to put it to good use come August.

For the castors, I just kind of chop them up, pull the membrane off the outside ( a little easier if you let them hang for a few days and dry a bit), and throw them in the container. I then take the oil glands and do a slice at one end and then squeeze it into the bottle to. Take that and mix it all together - Rubber gloves are good for this whole process by the way. Then on the line, just take a stick and mix it around in the container, then place the stick where you want the scent. The breeding season is on right now, so those two should be prime if your going to use it for beaver sets, might turn the kittys on too, who knows. REI has those Nalogen bottles that are pretty scent proof, they have one larger in size than what I gave you that would be a little easier to get everything into.

Not recomended that you get this on your person or clothes.... it takes a long time to get that beaver smell out

Pop always said he was born a hundred years too early. I use to think living the Mountain Man life in the 1800's would be the ultimate. Then I read Crow Killer, the story of Liver Eatin Johnson. Yeah, maybe it wouldn't be the ultimate - you never knew when someone was going to be after your scalp. Ah, what the hell, not all that different than today, just more in your face. ( by the way, the Robert Redford version is not even close to the true story, way to warm and fuzzy - go figure)

holywood has a way of making things look sweet...I study all those pioneers and trappers,great reads.wish I had the nads they had..

rasbo · « **Reply #32 on:** January 07, 2010, 05:19:07 PM »

skinned my 2nd beaver today,took 40 minutes but a good job looks great..but ,I cut a caster,that smells good to me.anyone else like their smell,really sweet...went up and put the meat in my traps.Man there is just no snow up there..nothing like last year..

Cylvertip · « **Reply #33 on:** January 07, 2010, 10:01:36 PM »

ya, it's not a bad smell, seems to kind of linger on the meat too. Could be one reason all the carnivores love em so much. The raw oil from the oil sacks can be a little foul. Nothing compared to a mink or even worse, an otter. Hit the scent gland on one of them and you'll just about puke.

Cylvertip · « **Reply #34 on:** January 07, 2010, 11:57:48 PM »

Rasbo, forgot to mention the fleas on beaver

. They are not the same as what you would see on a dog or a cat. I've only seen them on Musktats, Nutria, and Beaver. Any way, you should be able to spot them pretty easy, their quite a bit larger than regular fleas and are kind of amber in color. I've only ever had a couple get on me. Never bit me and were easy enough to catch. Just thought I'd make you aware. Usually there are quite a few on those critters when their "fresh".
