Congrats. Not horrible, not great. Like you said helps pay for the habit and maybe a little gas.
Yep isn't hardly worth putting them up for that. I haven't put many up myself for that reason exactly, only my big coon . And they are sold too a buyer in Indiana.
1 cat today agian . Its starting to get aggravating keeping my canine sets open. I've pulled all but two and I'm cleaning them back up and rewaxing them along with some new ones. I may get some dps out for the warm up time will tell.
Three today. The boy took pictures of the two biggest ones in the traps today.
Both was boars one was 19 lbs the other was 21 lbs. The only bad thing is the one was in a fresh canine set i put in yesterday and ruined it. But my boy Jace was pretty excited too see it in the trap and I let him shoot it. Then I was joking with him I told him you caught it you pack it out. And he said ok I will. lol He maid it half way to the truck and says man this thing is heavy. Then I finished carrying it out for him.

Well after having a lot of dug up traps for coyote and fox I'm starting over. I reboiled and re dyed 8 out my dozen canine traps and some new conibears and a few snares since I had the dye pot going. And I even re dyed a few 1.5 coon traps that were a muddy mess. Tomorrow I planning on getting them waxed and after the holidays I'm going to get them out.
I just hope I haven't educated the yotes too much. I'm thinking I might have to change things up.

I'm in the same boat buddy. I ordered new bait and lure along with reboiling and rewaxing all my fox traps.
2 more coon today
the one played hide and go seek when me and the boy walked up on it. I also got my coyote and fox traps waxed today gonna wait till it freezes up a little and set them. Until then im just gonna concentrate on the coon and maybe look for some more rats.

No pics today but the boy and I drug 2 more coon out of dps today. And another damn grinner. We hung some snares on some paths heading to a bait pile I put in with the four wheeler for coyotes and pulled all but one leg hold for fox and coyotes. The only traps out now are 7 dog proofs and three blind sets witch are going to be too deep under water I have a feeling in the a.m.
