Got my work cut out tonight!
-
:tup:
-
Congrats man looks like your prebaiting is paying off. :tup:
-
Hopefully a few more tomorrow! My main goal is to catch some fox
-
Nice! :tup:
I think I'm going to throw some cages out this weekend if I have time. All these pictures of everybody getting fur is making me jealous. I have no bait ready for cat trapping either so all the more reason to get out and trap.
-
That beaver was at 3500 ft elevation nice and thick and dark
-
Nice :tup:
-
Awesome!!
-
Congrats. Good luck with the fox
-
Good work! good luck on the fox is there many around where you are at ?
-
That is awesome, two cats and flat tail, I am guessing you were up for a while :chuckle: good luck on the fox..
-
Curious to know what you are using for bait for the fox? I know of some in my area and would love to trap one or two as well. Any pictures of how you wrap up your cat baits?
-
For fox I'm using some with beaver and some with duck carcasses but I'm just catching cats so far so this weekend I'm going to head up even higher to where maybe the cats won't be
Last year I had some fox digging and terrorizing my cages so I don't know how many but I have pics of 2 different fox from my trail cameras in one area last year
I'll take some pics tonight on how I wrap the bait
-
:tup: nice catch Jake keep it up.

Today was decent

Right on!
-
I had 3 cat cages where the cats walked all around but didn't commit :bash:
The otter was caught where I caught the last beaver
-
Nice!
-
Looks like it was a good day. Hope those other cats commit tonight
-
The back of your truck looks like mine, have you noticed every time you park somewhere you leave a bloody spot from that leaky bait bag.
Nice catch today :tup:
-
Dang. Save some cats for me! :chuckle:

Awesome job man, keep stackn those cats up, everyone you crack saves a few fawns :tup:

Nice catch !

A ton of snow has come down up there the fox was all around a cage and ate the teaser chunk of bait at the door of the cage but didn't go in
He's making me get a headache from the dance we've been having these past few seasons
But I got 1 beaver at 25lbs
(https://hunting-washington.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20161228%2Fa6f234cf9e31174d0248346e7be16c3d.jpg&hash=2ef55c7e134b03bd19181247066d9e70a48ec1c2)
I guess more cat and marten bait !
-
Jake,
A thought on the fox. Zero experience here so you can take this or leave it but I'm wondering if you set a swim through both doors open with bait in the middle, possibly under the trap if that would give them enough confidence with being able to see clear through to go into trap.
-
Kinda exactly what I'm going to try and do except with all the snow up on here I'm going to set the cage and not brush it in BUT build a canopy above it to keep it from getting snowed in hoping use a half down leaning tree and set under it but with lots of open space
If that makes any sense at all......
-
:tup:
-
Good luck on the fox. Hope you get it figured out

Had 3 cat/fox cages bait robbed by marten tonight I guess I'll be carrying up some Marten cages and setting them tomorrow night in the dark

Wish I had that problem lol. I got weasel steeling mine

Right now I'm waiting on the cops to show up on my trap line!!
A guy went to my cage and released a cat and destroyed the cage
I followed his tracks to his cabin and he admitted doing it and is freaking out on me so I'm going to press charges on him
With the help of a friend I got the RCW with which he will be charged with

:yike: holy cow man. Hope this all goes smoothly.

He says he's a protector of wildlife

facepalm

That has to be right along the lines of interfering with a legal hunt. probably has its own law doesn't it?
-
I bet he'd freak if you destroyed his cage and told him you were protecting habitat.
to be clear for some of our..people (cage=cabin)

While I've been waiting I helped the older neighbor from this guy shovel their driveway of snow so they could go grocery shopping

He came out with the cop and wanted to pay for the trap ! I told him not a chance I'm taking him to court
The cop was saying I'll probably lose because king county is sympathetic :dunno: so I called Bruce and he said to get the game department involved but they are closed today

What a freaking rodeo. Hope this guy pays for doing this. Wow.

-
In a nutshell, you cannot TOUCH a trap unless it is yours, you have written permission from the owner or it is on your private property illegally.
-
Trouble is it is only a misdemeanor. Will the Prosecutor want to bother with it?
-
Trouble is it is only a misdemeanor. Will the Prosecutor want to bother with it?
Is there no exact amount he gets cited for from WDFW? Like having a barbed hook or speeding? If not, then maybe this will help get something like that on the books.
-
It has to go to the Prosecutor and he will decide whether or not it gets prosecuted. Depends on if he has bigger fish to fry.
-
So in the end would he have to pay atleast?

Been there done that with "King County" :mor: I had this problem before with them and the department.
The Game Department "always have a Game Agent on duty." Get them involved !
Don't call the police, they don't know anything.
But than again when it comes to King County Prosecutor and Mill Creek Wildlife Department :tdown:
I wish you well :salute: :salute:
JC :hello:

Last year I had a couple cats let go, it was "coon hunters" there dogs strike they let them go and they go right to the trap. At least they left my traps. Good luck

I had 3 cages visited by cats but no takers
And I caught the bait thief at one of my cat cages a young female pine marten!! I gently got her out of the cage to be able to see if she was a female or not which was confirmed. So while she cussed me out I asked her to quit stealing my cat bait and released her . She ran right to the nearest tree and only went about 10' up and sat and watched me until I left

I got a call from the wildlife cop today !! They are pressing charges on him and citing him they expect good results !
It helped that I had pictures of everything and a cop come even though it would have been way faster and easier if I would have had a state patrol or a game officer come out instead of a sheriff but this is my first time actually catching a idiot so I guess it's the learning curve
-
Good luck bud. Hope they ream this guy good. The comment " protector of wildlife" kinda makes it sound like it's not his first time. Living next to public land makes me wonder how many hunts he has ruined aswell
-
:IBCOOL: Nice to hear that for once one of these psycho bunny huggers is getting prosecuted.

Hopefully he gets the book thrown at him. I hate hearing about people doing this kind of crap.

Nice catch ! how high do you go for martin ?

Nice :tup:
I'll never forget bringing my first Cat to that garage and learning the basics of fur handling :brew: Good times
(except for gutting...I mean, skinning that beaver while you ran inside for a min :chuckle:

I know that's where you trap them,hake but they can be found lower down sometimes. Few areas near me are about 2500' and all my buddy's that go snow wheeling see there tracks regularly and occasionally see one running around. Seems near me they are lower down and smaller in size
-
Here on the East side of the Cascades marten are found above 1500 feet to the timberline. if that helps,
-
Another small beaver today . All cat cages are ready to go east side tomorrow morning and a few marten cages too !!
-
:tup: good luck!!!
-
Good luck bud roads are nasty over here in my neck of the woods
-
It's going to be a interesting but fun week!!!

Good luck and be safe!

Well in prepared to see some caged marten now! :tup:

We'll see tomorrow! I won't hold my breath, kinda saving my go to spots until after it's done snowing it makes it easier
-
Good luck man. Hope you connect. :tup:
-
Nice job so far!! Thumbs up on the nutjobs!!!!
-
More snow coming tomorrow
-
There was nothing moving on the east side :bash: not even rabbits :dunno: but I decided to check a prebait site that nothing was touching and wouldn't you know I jump a bobcat that was up the tree eating on the beaver :yike: startled the crap outta me . So I pulled it down and replaced it with a trap. I got 3 more cat cages set and 4 more marten cages up
-
Dang. Probably still good odds he'll come back to the trap. My guess anyhow. Seems like cats aren't too scared off by human scent or human activity.
-
Another cold snap coming threw. Hope your area picks up soon
-
Today was a crappy day to say the least
First got a late starting at 6:30 and then got stuck in the avalanche control for an hour and a half :bash:
Finally got over the pass to check traps and wouldn't you know it every trap was sprung and messed up by ya you know it COYOTES :bash: I've never seen this many coyotes at this elevation before with this much snow! But the one cool thing is that I went in a new area and cut some fox tracks so using some info from Machias I got 2 cages set I'm crossing my fingers
-
Good luck. Better make time for some calling while out checking!

Ice in the pullman region has me stumped. I cant set any of my cages for beaver without them freezing solid. Gotta work on some way to suspend a swim through approx 6" below the ice. Good luck and I really hope you get some marten! Dream species for me.

Marten are fun and challenging I've already released 1 female my "dream" is to catch a mountain fox :drool:

Wish I could use a snowmobile on this property No motor vehicles here. Wish I had fox and Martin in this area. If I could afford it is be bumping elbows in the selkirks but I've heard the compition is fearce in that neck of the woods

Well east side cat trapping up high was a bust I think way too much snow and the temps but I did pick up a marten today

Nice! :tup: Looks like a good sized one too.
-
One is better then non! Better day then we had two beaver traps set off and my partner went for a swim in hip boots in below freezing water!
-
Nice job Jake :tup:
-
Beautiful color on that one. I'm not seeing any cat sign at all for 2 weeks now except the one cougar. Congrats on the Martin
-
:tup: Great catch. You need to rest. Looking a little pale

Ya I'm a little bit tired! But what a fun week the warmest was +12 and the coldest was -6 which for a wetsider is cold . I'm thinking next year it's going to be a 2 week deal at the end of January and maybe the weather will be a little better for trapping. Ron went with yesterday and helped tune up my cat line. he's got a Marten cage out and his cages are pretty slick for sure I've still got 5 marten cages 1 fox cage 6 cat cages and 2 beaver traps out until Sunday then I'm going to take a break until mid February

A different colored mink

What color would you call this ?

That is cool. Looks like a silvery chocolate. I just put up my first mink. Glad I missed the glands!

I got one just like that (same color and all) last season. You must be trapping in my area. :yike:
Just looked it up on my paycheck stub from NAFA.
NAFA graded it or call it a "Pastel" Mink
Keep it and have it tanned.

Maybe you need to do some calling while out checking sets
-
Ya I've tried I either suck at it or they're really smart coyotes :dunno: I'm thinking the I just suck at it :bash:

:tup: sweet nice kitty

:tup:sweet nice kitty
:yeah:

I like the primos randy Anderson series of calls. I have the hot dog little dog kiyi squeaker and his cat call. Work great for me i usually just do a cottontail distress on the kiyi and they come running. Howling works good too for locating packs
-
The call that has worked for me better than any other is one we all have. Lip squeaking on the back of my hand has called in more coyotes than any other call I've ever used
-
Nice catch !
-
Go figure we discuss this and today I get to the job sight (140 acres) and had two yotes cross the road i lip squeaked them back to the truck from 200 yards and no weapon on me!
-
Nice Cat! :tup:

Got another nice Tom tonight

Nice one jake.
-
Thanks ! Had to pull my swim through cages for otter because some coho salmon are still running and that's all I'm catching there but it's pretty easy you open one door and they just swim out like nothing happened
-
:tup:
-
Nice work
-
Nice catch ! how many sets you have out now ?
-
Only got 6 out right now . I pulled that cage because that was the 2nd cat caught there ! This weekend I'm going to try and get out another handful up in another river valley cause I don't want to screw next years catch
-
Good idea I pulled all mine i had several more on cam but figured i save them for next year
-
I keep getting asked what's up with the yellow rubber duck in the traps . Well i started putting them in as just a curiosity for the cats and most of the time they will chew the hell out of them ! I just get them at the dollar store they may do absolutely nothing but why not it seems to not spook them
-
:tup: Good looking cat. Congrats
-
Dang, Jake, your cleaning up! Great work!
Warren
-
Thanks it's been a good year for a lot of people! I took a couple weeks off to just take a break but I've got a double handful of cages out now again , going to try and catch a few more and call it good come the first of March
-
Very nice!!!
-
So what ever happen to the guy that stomped on your trap did you ever pursue conviction?
-
My guess is nothing then.
-
The wheels of justice turn slowly if at all in this state.
-
Sorry I'm outta state
But yes he is getting prosecuted but king county is slow . I'm just waiting to hear from the prosecutor
-
So you really never pursed prosecuting him then, I am sure he will be happy to hear that.

I actually just talked to the courts about it yesterday!!!!
His day is coming with them

Hey jake where is the pictures of all the catches???
