Finally!!! Went out yesterday and put in 3 beaver sets. This morning’s check resulted in one. Brought back a lot of memories of my old buddy Ron Stout. He passed away last year. One of our last times trapping together was for beaver. I could hear him as I was skinning, “will you please let me sharpen that knife, you’re wearing me out watching you”. Planning to pull Monday for the new work week, but at least I got my feet wet again. And on a side note, I’ve been reading through some of the archives. Lots of good info there, felt like I was reliving my youth. Thanks Steve for providing the place, and to everyone from the past that passed along the lessons.

feels good, doesn't it?
I haven't enjoyed a season more than this year compared to the hard hitting years. pulling half the line today, snowing now but I want to ket about 20 traps in ground close to home until firday, to play in the snow a little.

Nice one. Do you catch many black ones? I managed to catch another nice beaver Monday morning. Made for quite the hump out with it and 3 330’s, stakes, and stabilizers. Hopefully the weather will hold and I’ll be able to get a few more over my Christmas break.

Yes, that worked.
I get a few red/blondes and a couple of dark ones a year- but this is the darkest one by far.
I did leave traps out over the weekend, and will, this time for sure- pull everything tomorrow. Having too much fun, but it is time.

Hope pull day went good. Done for the season, or just a little breather? Either way, I’m glad you were able to get out this year Tman

I lied again lol
I have a couple messing with me, and the traps are close to home, so left some out this week- BUT...I will pull tomorrow. supppose to be rainy and sloppy, so a good time. One can only chase worthless coyotes for so long. But damn am I having fun!

I’d thought about putting a few out for the weekend but that plan changed, pouring rain on the way home tonight. Not quite as much fun slogging around in the mud and the muck as it used to be, so I can totally relate to you pulling. Hope you didn’t catch them all, and there’s still a few left out there to mess with you.
