Hounds- nice grays there! Not that the rat and mink pelts won't look nice when put up too!

[Kludes]

Nice job hounds I love Grey fox not many around my area but someday I'll get one... Some nice rats too but that coon looks massive next to the gray

[HOUNDS77]

Quite a few greys around here. They are not very big. Smaller than reds.

First mink of the year in a run going up creek

[HOUNDS77]

Kludes. My mink catch is way down this year. An older friend of mine who runs a 100 mile mink line said his catch is down by almost half.

[Kludes]

I'm in southern zone so my season is just beginning but I've heard similar stories from friends up north .. down here its rats that are coming up short ....

[Kludes]

today's catch 2 in feed beds with call lure 1 in the run set I caught the mink in yesterday

[blackradio]

can someone walk me through what you do with these after you kill them?

[Kludes]

Skin them flesh them then put on stretcher to dry and then sell

[blackradio]

where/how much do you sell them for and about how long does it take to process each?

[Kludes]

Different auctions and rats take shortest time to finish and average 12$ yotes are tedious and will test your patience catching and skinning and they go bye color one could get 12$ or good color gets upper 30s...All fur has to be uniformly done to sell takes years to get good and lifetime to master

best day yet this year big bore coon caught in a 1.5 sleepy creek after be eating on it to stop the jaws from binding he was in a pocket set that had been cleaned out and switched trap yesterday and re baited with perch and muskrat ... The red was caught in a 1.5 Victor coilspring dirt hole that's caught 3 chipmunks and was lured with Darin freeburoughs tnt gland food lure ... the lure he gave me cause I bought so many other lures he said it was his best ...

[HOUNDS77]

Nice job. Must be nice to have bare ground..lol

[Kludes]

Yes I am very happy to have bare ground better success rate for me ....Every red I get is like the first I love walking up on them ...
