And yet another goose egg today. I did get two more canine sets out today. One is in a spot I caught six fox off of two years ago and two coyotes off of last year. And the other spot has a lot of fox and coyote tracks.Its a virgin spot so I hope it turns out as planned. I'm kinda frustrated with the dps I have out they are set on good sign just not producing. I'm just hoping that they will move this weekend a little with the temps coming back up. Its that time of year for them to lay up for a few nights I guess.

These cold nights are killing the coon movement but maybe it will spark the yote and fox movement.
Two coon and two more rats last night. I did get a few more set out today so we will see what happens.
Thee more coon today. And I had a mink wring out of a coon set I guess I should have made a drowning set but I wasn't expecting a mink. I pulled my rat traps till I see what this rain does tomorrow.

I snagged two more coon last night. 1 was in a fox set and screwed it all up and the other was in a dp. I pulled all my coon sets other then three pocket sets. And I rebaited my four canine sets today. One had the bait dug out of the hole and a fox track a inch from the pan so I hope he hits it again. And another was set off with deer tracks coming and leaving the set. I'm assuming that the deer steps in it because there was no catch circle. So we will see what the cooler temps bring. I may set a few more canine sets tomorrow if time allows.

Yea it happens alot. I was just glad it wasn't another coyote that pulled out again lol.
Well out of three blinds this morning they all three hit. One rat and two coon. The two coon kinda surprised me. And another damn cat in a coyote set = one less cat.
I sold some of my coon today I kept the xls and bigger home because I'm going to put them up myself. I averaged 6 on my coon and sold all my rats at 5 on the average. Could be better could be worse I guess. It helps pay for the habit lol.
