2013 Trapping

[3legged_lab]

Talked the wife into dragging the mattress into the living room to sleep by the fire instead of kicking on the heater.

What? I guess I'm just too lazy to save a buck that way.

Now if you'd said that you did it for a porn marathon I'd understand

What hapened on that mattress this weekend is not suitable for Assa's trapping thread.

She made ya rub her feet, huh?

Smelled worse than the back of Assa's Jeep

That's saying something.

Just picked up a nice gray off the road on my way to the grocery store. Heads smashed, but hide is perfect.

Sweet! I think people are picking everything up around here. Haven't seen a coon or fox on road for a couple months. Right around when trapping opened up

[assateague]

Living these old groundhog hole sets. Double reds at my first stop this morning.

Nice!

[Flightstopper]

Well done. They look just as happy to see you stroll in.

[quackhead]

Those look like dirty ass dogs! Nice job

[The Duck Hammer]

Awesome.

[assateague]

I've never used them before, but I read an article this summer and figured I'd try it. So far I'm a fan.

[assateague]

Another happy customer.

Scratch and sniff for full effect.

Your really rack'em. Congrats

[assateague]

It's been good so far, but it's gonna shut off for a few days with all this damn rain coming. I'll take a nice steady pace, though.

[assateague]

Pissed. Just checked traps, and somebody stole 2. And since you're not just gonna "find" traps, it's a safe bet the foxes that were in them were stole, too.

How do I know they were stolen? Since I lost that coyote, I've been putting in new sets using cable stakes. And these two were cut. Motherfuckers. So unless foxes are carrying cable cutters, I've got a thief problem. They were visible from the road, but they were easily 200 yards across a cut beanfield. I hope they get their dick stuck.

That sucks man. They'll get whats coming to them eventually. You reap what you sow.

Trailcam close to the edge of the field?

I've been thinking. The best way to get him good would be to re-set the area, and upon catching a fox, walk up and piss all over the fox/trap and leave. That fucker will drive by, steal everything again and never know he's got Jim's piss all over his hands, fox and new trap.

[assateague]

I like that plan.

Grand scheme of things, I've been very, VERY luck with this type of deal, anyway. And so far, it's a decent year. Maybe one of the thieved foxes had rabies, and scratched the guy.

Either way, I'm pleased so far. Taking a 3-day break for deers.

not worth the effort to stake it out? take a hide and put it on Dutch with him leashed up like set maybe?

[assateague]

Not really worth it. One hide will pay for all the traps I've bought in the last two years. Just a cost of doing business, but that doesn't mean I have to thank them for it.

[quackhead]

That really sucks! I can't believe there are that many bad people out there. I've walked by more than 1 marten in a trap and kept walking, why can't everyone else.
Looks like your using wire stretchers, do you think that is hurting you at all? Seems like there is always a hot debate about wood or wire.
