ALthough, i gotta say, I like skunks, they are cool animals...if they didnt stink so bad.

Picked up a couple muskrat colony traps, got some more metal tags for the traps and bought a few other odds and ends....looking forward to this year. Gonna try to get a couple pelts...maybe something other than skunks and possums... :chuckle: :dunno: :tup:

You buy those colony traps or build them? Very easy build and work really good. I just picked up another 14 7x7x24 inch Duke single doors. I am going to try and catch a couple of Marten this year and then focus on Mink and Muskrats after the snow runs me out of Marten country.

I bought them. It was like 12 bucks for two of them. I didnt really have the time to screw with it and 12 bucks is nothin, so I figured I would support a trapping company. ;)
They do look very easy to make, but I have enough on the plate at the moment. Good luck with the Martens!

I beg to differ with you. $12 isn't nothing. It's one muskrat! :tup:

My buddy and I are leaving on the 4th (after Elk closes) for a 12 day Marten/Bobcat/Weasel trip.
22 days and a wake-up!
What about you Bruce?

2nd Late buck depending on how things go the next couple weeks.
Then around about Thanksgiving I think I'll put out some cat sets and maybe some beaver and otter. I have an area I can only access early so I have to get with it if I'm going to trap it. Otherwise I would probably wait 'till December.
If I had any rats I would be after them as early as I could get away, mink too. Not to be though.
I've kind of got bobcats on the brain this year so we'll see how that works out. Locked gates every where I look so that's a bad omen.

On a sad note my Marten trip is on life support and I may miss my opportunity to go all together because of work schedule.
Post by: pnwmtnmn on October 11, 2013, 12:52:24 PM
It will happen one day, just be sure all your ducks are in a row when the opportunity arrives.
Almost forgot 19 days left...

Retired tramp logger here. I used to quit my job when deer season started and go back to work after trapping season. :IBCOOL:
