Title: Machias' 21-22 Idaho Season
Post by: Machias 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.

Set where you can and trap as much as possible. Good luck!

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!!
