              Hey just wanted to give you guys a heads up for those that trap the water. Not sure if you use gauntlets but fntpost has some on sale that are insulated for 19.99 and they are normally like 26 bucks. I picked up a pair.

                  Well got everything set up at the lease. Talked to the landowner and was talking about coyote bounties. He found out I was a trapper an he said that he has another place I can trap hope I can get there enough to trap both places

                    Hey Yanta the one I went to had some venders. Also seminars on different trapping methods. They had a trap setting contest. An different games I didn't get to spend a lot of time there but enjoyed it. It was worth the time to me just to meet other trappers

                        YEAP!!! We were filming for the show all last week, shooting lead-ins and cut aways and several segments....

                        Everything is ready to roll out...

                        but I have a big dilemma...

                        season opens for beaver in 15 days, I"M 100 PERCENT sure they will not be prime yet..

                        Historically the first beaver trapped and sent in for the first NAFA auction bring better money than the good prime beaver in the second NAFA auction..

                                The grays and cats will bring decent money if they are finished out, if you sell them green(just skinned rolled up and frozen) you wont get much. You have more coons than you think

                                Coons will be a toss up this year as to what they will bring but will bring the most if you finish them out.


                                For what you will spend in equipment to remove the animals and personal time it is up to you..

                                The other option is to hire a trapper to come in for 3-4 days and trap them out for you.
