Caught some coon and possum last night. had a pretty nice deer for a while. Long enough the yotes were after it I think. Never had that happen before. they usually are gone from the trap within a minute or so.
Dang coon are makin me look bad. No where near what I should ahve this time of year. it is like they just aren't movin at all. Tried ponds, ditches, high ground, corn fields, low land, they just aint moving at all.

never caucht a deer in a trap have turned a cpl loose from snares tho....
i wish these coons here would go there to you lol make more room in my traps for cats lol.. but guess i shouldnt complain coons are a lot better than an empty trap..coons down here are usually along rivers creeks etc or anywhere there hackberry trees or pecan trees ... and corn or proteine feeders are allways good for a few lol
maby its too cold there.... down here if it gets extreamly cold below normal winter cold. the coons dont move very good..
anyway good luck with it. maby it will pick up for you....darn shame ya'll cant keep cats

Coon here den up when it gets real cold. single digits at night and teens in the day they are denned up. I quit coon trapping here 3 weeks ago, too cold! I only got in about a week of coon trapping. Then I was deer hunting. Next, I went to Colorado elk hunting for a week. When I got back it snowed and got real cold, too cold for coon to move. It was -21 here last night. High today is -8. Dang global warming!

Smacked two of them with the 22-250. One was a hope and pray shot but I dropped him in his tracks. ;D Our elk hunt went pretty well, we killed 4 elk for 5 of us. We only hunted 2 days, then it started snowing and snowing and snowing. We decided to get out while we could and were glad we did, as the temps dropped to -20s the next day after we left. We had bad roads the first couple hundred miles. After that it was clear sailing to MN. Trapping is done here for coon. It got quite a bit warmer here today up to +12 degrees. So, I'm going to hit a few cattail swamps for mink.

I am used to snow when the amounts are reasonable. But, when it starts snowing in the mountains you can measure it in feet, not inches sometimes. I will never like driving on icy roads for long distances and it's about 1100 miles to where we hunt.

we got aboput 5 inches last night. It will den the coon up but it will make it easy for me to find some more yotes. And check out this drainage for otter.

Our otter quota in MN is 4 per season. I got my 4, so now I'm thinking of hitting some of the sloughs for mink, if this weather ever warms up a little. Last night it only got down to -4 at my place. That's the warmest we've seen in about a week. They're saying could get up in the teens tomorrow. Isn't this Thursday supposed to officially be the first day of winter? It's gonna be a long winter!!!!
It snowed this morning about two inches. It was so cold, the snow was like feathers. I could blow it off my truck.

You know, I'm not sure, I don't trap cats. I know there is a limit, but don't know what it is. I'm strictly a water trapper, don't trap yotes, cats, etc.

warmimng up here. Got to 40 today sposed to be in the high 20 at night and 40 and even 50's later this week.
I made some coon sets today, but don't have a lot of faith in them. That drainage has a few open water areas that only about 8-10 inches deep with moving water. Set them all up and crossing my fingers. LOL Thought I had found some otter sign, but it wasn't. hard to say what it is but it aint otter. maybe rats.
Got the first mangy yote this morning. Thing looks horrible. Not even sure if I will skin it.
Our otter quota is 5. And NO cats at all.
