YEEEah!
You got some nice looking fur already. MANN! Todd's right those rats are FAT!
Too bad you cant sell them by the pound

[topdawg]

That's a small coon so it makes them look bigger
But we do average huge rats

[FinsnFur]

K, now show us your beaver

[topdawg]

i wont start trapping beaver till everything else slows down       but i will befor season goes out     i would like to catch about 50+ of them

[FinsnFur]

Yeah whats better then 50 big fat hairy beavers right? I'm just sayin

[topdawg]

big and fat beavers are great   but i like the looks of them when they are sheared and plucked.....just saying

one full week of rat trapping, i should have about 3 times this many but i just cant find many


here are the test sample of coons, right now im just catching a few just to check for primeness


from left to right : small, jumbo, and average for around here


here is the jumbo on a concrete block for a size ref.

[Todd Rahm]

Need some more Jumbos for sure!!!!!!!

[FinsnFur]

Beautiful!
Hows your weather? It's gotta be tough to coral them with no ice, isnt it?
I guess that the only way I've seen done though up here in the frozen tundra.

[topdawg]

i mainly trap feedbeds, toilets, and dens or huts         we dont get much ice but if we do we stop trapping rats

[KySongDog]

You got a nice setup there, dawg.    You going to try for some coyotes and bobcats?

[Todd Rahm]

Ya do any float sets for them?

[topdawg]

floats dont do to well here plus i think they are to heavy to be packing around in knee deep swamp, but my dad said that is just me being lazy lol

[FinsnFur]

You stop when the ice comes in??
Wow there's marsh and swamp up here we cant get to UNTIL something freezes for us to walk on.
