3 furrrry muskrats today

[Kludes]

My counts to 65 rats now

[Kludes]

Make that 5 for today and I had a sprung bottom edge were there are no muskrats so probably a missed mink ...

Surprised he pumped out a 20 " rebar with the temps we've had. I always cross stake my canine sets. Hope you locate him again. 

Any dry dirt under bridges or fallen logs you could get ? A little while in the oven will dry it out further too.  A little late now but waxed dirt is awesome

Yea the sets weren't actually froze in I thought they were so I sprung and reset....I'm using buckwheat hulls and they seem to do pretty good even in cold....yea I was shocked he pulled it when I set I always check and make sure they seat good and i couldn't budge it even a lil bit. We tracked him all over hill till dark yesterday saw a few times when jummped. Hopefully he shows up at one of neighbors bait pile cams so we can figure out how often he shows and maybe get a shot at him...I'm not to experienced with yotes but neighbor is and said it was a contest winner for sure said huge coyote.

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 ...
