    Anyone trapping ?

    Guess this is the right place to put this lol. Any how wanted know who all else is laying some steel ?
    Got some DP's and some fox sets out on a buddies deer property. It ain't much but getting pretty decent money for the coon carcasses and I'm just happy to have a opportunity at some K9's

    I am, targeting mink and beaver. My son and I have only had sets out for four soaks. So far five beaver, 36 to 67 pounds, and one buck mink. Pelt prices are in the toilet, we make our money selling the castor glands at $80+ a pound. We go after mink because it's just plain fun trying to figure them out, plus I'm old school and always felt they were a trophy animal. I've been trapping for 56 years.

    I will be trapping canis lupus primarily, but I definitely am having some pretty severe beaver issues that l will be addressing.

    I am trapping Muskrat , Raccoon and Coyote
    I will set some Beaver traps when I get a chance , but I have to watch out for river otter
    As there isn't open trapping for them in my area
    I will be doing some Mink trapping in a week or so
    But the main marsh I trap wants the mink as they help control the muskrats
    As I get to trap the marsh for free , I follow the few simple requests they have

    Getting ready even though the season is open, maybe by Thanksgiving. Red fox and Coon here and two nice coyotes showed up on the trail camera so I hope to snag one of them. I leave the mink and muskrats alone on the pond. I usually release the opossums too, often catch the same one over and over until we come to an understanding. I’m setting out for weasel too in about a month when they turn white.

    Wolfdog91 are they eating the carcasses? I plan to try one this year on the smoker. Year before last I got either 8 or 9 coyotes, Last year my health didn't cooperate. I'm doing better so far this year & I am just getting ready to roll. I wish you well & do the same for me.

    I personally don't eat them. Nothing against it just not a critter I really like. Mabye I just have had it right but I e been told the same about possum. Anyway I sell the carcasses. Got a bulk deal right now for $10 straight for everyone I can get and clean but I can make $20 a pop selling locally

    I will probably put out a few DP's for coons, because I keep some chickens around the farm. Our state had a bounty on nest robbing predators the last couple of years, but only on animals trapped from April too July. My idea is that a critter trapped now won't eat a nest next june, but what do I know?
