Trapping Thread 2025/2026

2 today. First kit of the spring. I had been running such a good size average. Was probably running about 45 pound average. Also a first for me checking beaver traps in a late April blizzard that had left 4” of wet snow on the ground with another 4-6 tomorrow they say

MIL had a raccoon look into her back sliding door the other night, in town. Cage traps are set so the bandit can be safely “relocated”.

Have a couple traps around our chicken coop right now but seems the raccoons have been leaving them all alone for now.

I saw two dead raccoons hit on the road on the way to work today, along a stretch I have permission to trap. Might throw some out over a weekend to knock a few more back for the nesters.
 
Haha I am way late to the party. With kids sports and the lack of a 4wd truck, we were limited to 25 days of trapping in places my 2wd work truck to get me and only about 15 traps. Ended up with 5 cats. And of course we have record high prices on the only year I've had to limit my trapping haha.

Great work! 5 cats should have still been a heck of a payday! Great to see those kids getting after it!
 
Sold 6 of my 8 cats today at fur harvesters. The two best no sold, hopefully that pays off... cause I sure wouldn't have complained if they had just sold them at what they no sold them at today...

I was shocked when I got my bid sheet back and the Fallon Fur Sale. I thought there was a typo. I got more of those 5 cats than I did for 14 the year before
