at a place where i had pre-staked i chopped ice off the creek to see what i could do. (i'm at that stage of life i would rather wait for a thaw but oh well) wasnt much open water but the ice wasnt to thick either, made it a real pain walking. this morning i checked traps (it did thaw some overnight) finding that i didnt have some placed exactly where i wanted them but did have twelve muskrats also. a pond i want to set is still iced in as of 2 pm today.

talking of ice. yesterday i set a pon that finally had all the ice off it. well wouldnt you know it this morning it had skim ice over 1/3 of it. this pond is 3 acres. lucky for me the rats ran before it started freezing couse better than half i got were in stoploss on feed beds.
