Alright I’m at a loss at what animal leaving these tracks. They are about as big as a Copenhagen can. I’m guessing a Mustelidae Family from the 2x2 track just have no idea what it would be

Fisher tracks

Fisher tracks

That’s what I’ve come up with but that old boy needs to check his map.

Ya I would say a big set of fisher tracks

Was just talking to a guy and apparently there was a fisher caught two years ago just on the Montana North Dakota boarder so maybe this one isn’t so lost after all

Don’t ND have a limited fisher season or am I imagining things?

Very eastern part of the state does I believe

Been hitting the beavers again now that the water has opened back up. I didn’t feel like battling the ice, so we waited. Caught 5 in the last couple days. Biggest was 46 lb and the smallest was 17 lb. All damage control beavers. One landowner was about ready to go full Rambo on beavers and we talked him into letting us trap some before he brings out the heavy artillery. These things are an absolute blast to trap. Takes some heavy gear, but actually pretty darn easy.

Added three raccoons and a possum today.
I’m not allowed to shoot my S&W anymore…..

She’s graduated to wanting to shoot the pistol only.

Found a little cash laying in the side of the road yesterday

Got permission to trap a property from some folks at church. To their knowledge it has never been trapped. Put out two traps last night, we are definitely still learning how to do this. I do not know much about raccoon behavior, but we found some tracks in the mud by a creek. Placed some sardines in the traps and some around for a bit more scent. Came back this morning and viola two raccoons. My boy was already talking about coming back next weekend, I think we are going to have to pick up a few more traps… and a better way to skin the tails, I am not fast by any means.

Not very often will you see fat on a coyote like this at the end of February

How was the fur?

How was the fur?

Pretty springy. Was trying to call a bobcat in and the coyote showed up about the 25 minute mark. Was freezing my ass off so decided I’d dump it with the 17hmr
