Nice female with good spots and back color, she should bring a decent price.
We'll spring them tomorrow and maybe re set Friday , depending on snow coming.

We put out 21 more sets more this long weekend and will have last week in Jan to trap all week and for the last hurrah.
Furs we have now are ready for sale.

Can you elaborate on this?
Set 8 inches or so back and a little offset or right on top of other trap?

Nothing for us this weekend. Had a day and a half of high winds so everything was hunkered down. Had one miss on a bobcat, stepped beside the pan.
This morning found a snapped trap but not sure what we missed.
Spouse found some mink tracks on the creek so out come the smaller traps next weekend.
This pic shows the bounding mink tracks with some bobcat tracks on the frozen creek. The mink are the double tracks going diagonally across the bobcat's. These were right along where we missed the cat that didn't step on the pan.

We are about to start "trying" to trap coyotes on our deer lease for the first time. We get out there every couple weeks for a few days. We definitely will not leaves traps set while we're gone but should we leave them in the ground or pull them every time we leave and reset the next time we're out? Really hoping we can just trip them and reset the next time we're out.

Most critters are much tougher than us humans
