got a couple inches of snow, after a little rain, so its "crunchy" out-
temps in mid teens tomorrow, but wind dying down. Looking forward to checking the line - had a couple of good nights and a 50 degree day in this check, so should have a few coon, and I always like the extra movement with rats and mink-
coyotes were really starting to get back i my mind with the weather, but talking to my buyer he says what the hunters are bringing in, are pretty ruff- he says every once In a a while a dandy, but more rubbed and ruffed up than not- now this snow and freezing- glad I didn't succumb to temptation.
in any case, I still delight in going out after a fresh snow on a sunny day- now if I finally caught that slow leak in my waders.......
tried rks advice of blocking off small streams with colonies, adding dive stick- so maybe tomorrow a multiple, there are rats in this little spring creek, but shallow and hard to pinpoint- so we shall see.
have been oh so tempted to set out weasel boxes, but with no snow, I couldn't find sign and wondered if boxes are less effective on bare ground so haven't gotten around to it yet.
suppose to be 30 Sunday then cold, so might be a good time to get out and see what I can see
hows life in your neck of the woods?
