Cam has already started gathering all the traps up and is wanting to start getting them ready. We have seen alot of fur the past few weeks on our daily trips around the river and it's killing the boy to have to wait. I do believe he is hooked on another great sport for life. :highclap:
So lets here about all the new spots you have this year, all the new toys to play with and a few pics to get us fired up down here in lonley VA. (I say that as 90 % of you guys are from the northern states....) (AKA...Ohio....)
I will have to get out and do some checking I will take the camera with me (if I don't forget)
Tell him to make a catch pole.......That is something I will never forget as a kid and I did not have the internet to show me how. What is it youre a wanting to see maybe I can help.
Another half dozen new traps to tune and then the dye and wax party! Beans are starting to turn, weather is getting cooler, won't be long now!
Yeah, I'm getting antsy to see some more trapping pics. Me favorite kind! :yoyo: :biggrin:
I have all the traps boiled and waxed, dirt gathered, lure ready and I still need to make some more bait and snares. I thought you guys just called coyotes up to sniff them big balls. I didn't realize you trapped also.
I used to trap a lot..........I have caught a lot of fox toes in my day.....But I never caught a fox that was missing a toe. :wo:
To all you guys getting ready for the upcoming fur season, may your traps be full and your fur checks bigger than ever.
From a guy who doesn't have an off season, not complaining!!!!

Pics man pics :eyebrow:
I've got something for those trapping pics...just cant get enough of em. :biggrin:
Yeah!!! Pics we love pics
If I remember to take the camera along this year I will have pics to post
Randy,
What happened to the woods that the coyote lives in? :innocentwhistle: That poor fellow doesn't have any place to hide. Not only that, but where are all the houses? Are you trapping on a missile test site or something like that?
Danny,
As for trapping, I think I will only be using the Lil Griz traps this year. In going thought things in the basement I came across all the supplies I bought a couple of years back when I thought I was going to be putting out snares. It never happened. I may need to part with some of this.
Jerry

Jerry see all the trees in the background on the last pic.!!!
Catching coyotes in the heat of summer in these bare pastures, regularly will teach you a few things and can humble anyone while learning. This is by far the hardest time IMO!!!!! Lure and bait will dry out in our 100 degree 10 percent humidty and you must set on sign and do alot of homework. It's amazing what a shower of rain that time of year will do to enhance sets on their own.
Yeah but that was right after the loggers came through and clear cut her, wasn't it? :laf:
Nnnnnnnnice Randy.
Best of luck this season, and keep them pics coming :yoyo:
Cool pics......They dont have that much fur around here in August :nono:....And when we walk up on em they go nuts...not much time for photo takin :laf:
Great pictures of the coyotes and now that it has been called to my attention, I can see the trees - all six of them! I sure am glad that they were small enough that the loggers didn't take them too. If they had, there wouldn't be any shade out there. It does show the difference between there and here. From where I hunt deer and turkey, a .223 (or a .22LR if shot wrong) can reach six houses. For that reason, I usually try to have a tree back up for my rifle or shotgun slug shots.

when i clicked on this thread it said the image or video had been removed by photobucket.
ive heard of a couple people who have had their entire photobucket accounts deleted because of the trapping content.
there must be some antis involved with phtobucket.
Well Cam couldn't wait so he got the live traps out and set them out back at the barn. First night he got the coon with attitude. Second night a possum. (For Cathryn....LOL. She has a conyest with the kids on her site.)
Here be the mean lil' coon...

No pic on the possum as he let it go before I could get the camera.
