Well it is almost that time again to get this thing started.
I am getting all the snares dyed this week and plan on getting started right after xmas this year.
Hope to catch several but time will tell as i know i have knocked their numbers down which is great!
Also going to try and catch a few beavers as i was out scouting a little the other day and found lots of beaver sign and a little yote sign.
Also looking forward to having a few of our members come along with me some this year.
I know John R is looking forward to it and hope to see Don and Rick also.
Ric and Karissa are planning on coming up for a day also.
Well i will check back in when i start getting my sets out.

I'd like to make it down this year to run your line with you. I just knocked down the few snares I had out today. Not seeing much sign, I'll put them back up and hang more when it gets really cold and we get some snow.

I like beaver. :smiley_bril: just make sure you don't get distracted from killing 'yotes by those beavers. :p

Got all my gear boiled and dyed today.
Now if can get some cooler weather.
I dyed 110 snares and 48 pogo stakes today.
Am planning on putting a half dz or dz out for beaver day after xmas and 1 or 2 dz for yote on one farm.
Will try and get some set on the other farm when time permits.
Starting to get little antsy and ready to go.

Went out and took my last treestand today so stopped and pulled the card on the cam i put where the beavers have been working.
Was cool to get a pic of a nice sized one and a pretty big yote.
Guess when beaver season comes in i will have to set a few yote snares in this area also.uploadfromtaptalk1450030935888.jpguploadfromtaptalk1450030947800.jpguploadfromtaptalk1450030960506.jpguploadfromtaptalk1450030970893.jpg

Big fury beaver you have there...

that's exactly what I was going to say. rotflmao happy I scrolled down all the way...

what is the purpose of dying snares and traps? I'm assuming boiling is for scent elimination, but don't understand the dye. camouflage?
