Trapping Thread 2025/2026

I found a spot that looks really good for maybe a blind set of two. Possibly with a few strategic guides.
Maybe one blind set and something else? I have no idea. I’ll get creative.



I’m going to Florida this weekend to hunt deer and hogs, then I’m coming back and going crazy from Feb 10th until April 15th.

I was very encouraged when I counted nearly 40 hens on my big farm today as well as many flocks on all the others.

I have just been running a few 220 buckets lately. Slow going, but caught a good one today.

Ice is thawing pretty good. Might be able to get some beaver sets in next weekend

Warming up here. Ordered a dozen more dogproofs. Time to hit the coons hard. They are everywhere, even after all I trapped last year. The kids and I have enjoyed snaring rabbits during the last couple weeks of cold weather. We have plenty for a big batch of stew.

Wish we could run snares here. Would certainly make my time off on the coldest days of the year and the kids wanting to trap a little easier to make happen.

One coyote in a snare that I forgot to take picture of. This was a cool find tho

Dang, I forgot about how many states hate snaring. Man, snaring rabbits in the snow is so much fun. Snow, shelter belts, and brush piles make snaring rabbits almost like a grocery run!

Would be great on the creek bottoms for coyotes too here but its not allowed.

I ordered Dukes. I’m happy with the ones I have and Scheels had them cheap with free shipping.

I caught my dumb@$$ dog in one of my rabbit snares the other day. He was running and somehow centered his snout in a 3-4” loop set 2” off the ground. He was practically screaming (as much as a dog can with his mouth snared shut.). I walked over, called him some names, and freed him. Still don’t know how he pulled that off.
