2014/15 trapping harvest thread

That sucks for sure to lose a yote ... I highly recommend Iowa earth anchors and drivers for nys conditions I have never had one pulled and most of the time If I want to retrieve it I have to dig it out .. only need 12 inches of cable any more is overkill .. you can carry 24 of them no problem and they don't weigh much you will never use rebar again ...

Yea I've used them I don't like having to dig them out and until this week thought rebar was more than enough....may have to switch back even tho I don't like them....dang...

You can make a puller at home to .. directions are online I've seen them but I'm not handy with metal

Kludes......Do you have black rats where you trap ?

[Kludes]

I'm not an expert that is why I'm asking but I would imagine a  33.8 lbs coon is pretty big??

[Kludes]

Monster coon not usually that big around here but out west I think so

[Kludes]

Awesome coon First Light. I have skinned a lot of coons over the years and thought I had treed a bunch of 30+ pounders. I shot out a huge one one night that the hounds treed and I thought it might weigh 40. Instead of skinning it in the woods like normal, I carried that thing all the way back to the car. It was the biggest coon I ever saw. What a surprise when the scale said just a tad over 32#. I knew then that 30 pounders were rare in this area.

Hey Kludes, see ya at Vons Saturday.

[Kludes]

See you there .. hopefully I get another fresh fox today or tomorrow for von to put up Saturday

[Lawdwaz]

A friend of mine is having a pretty good trapping season, as of yesterday he had 117 fox.  One shy of his all time high.......I suspect he'll get another before the end of the season.

If ya do not mind Lawdawz who is that? There some pretty hard core trappers in the western part of Ny. My buddy does 100 K9'S every year. Good population out there.

 

Phil Brown caught 1,002 K9'S in 48 checks. 6th time he has done that!
