I am guessing you set more than a couple of traps.

Cb - we are at about 300 coon, 90 mink, 50 k-9's , 40 rats, 65 skunks, and a handful of other fur.



Coyotehunter- add a couple zeros and multiply by 2 lol. We had about 400 sets out on a roadline. Gearing up for wolves this weekend and maybe a cat or two as well.

great job Chris.
you have more coon in your shed than we have in my county. there are dead coon ALL OVER. no signs of why either. i've only caught about 30 and than it went to hell overnight.
keep stacking em up. there might be some $$ in coon this year due to the shortage that others are saying as well.

Nice job Chris. I wish we had coon like that around here. Everything seems to be down this year around here. :x

Ray - about 5 years ago i had distemper come through my area and pretty much wipe them out. They are just starting to come back in numbers it seems. Good luck to anyone targeting wolves, cats, and fisher this weekend!!!

Here is a pic of the fur that i am sending up to nafa. I held back all my local coyotes as they seem to sell better at a country buyer. In the pic is 323 coon, 100 mink, 85 muskrats, 27 red fox, 8 grey fox, 9 beaver, 5 coyotes, 2 badgers, 11 otters, 1 fisher and one bobcat that i had to wipe the milk off its lips!

Damn thats a pile of fur. Didn't you trap a boatload of beaver too, or it that come spring?

Cb-I target beaver in the spring. Last season was around 200. The snare line has been producing a critter or two every check, and muskrat trapping has been going. Good to. Been averaging around 50 per check.
