Alright teammates let's get ready to trap some critters!

How bout Team Last Step?

Grandslam you're gonna be in big trouble if we let Brenda beat us! They've got a good team with several experienced trappers.

I'm good with any name y'all want.

Alright Hank, time to show out. Good luck to y'all

Thanks Cole!

I've got a five man team and only 2 have checked in yet!.......

What's up teammates!

I guess I had better tell Pete I signed him up for this

He'll be glad you did!

Well we've got 2 traps set. I set 2 for my cousin this morning. He's got a red fox catching his chickens. I'll be off Saturday and Sunday so I'll probably set some then.

I'm here! Putting some out this evening if it'll quit raining.

Good luck hunter! I've got a couple out and Marshmud should be getting us some points this weekend.

I also talked with Grandslam today and he's on board.

Now if we can get Tenthlegionaire to come on over here instead of on Team 1's thread we'll be good to go. Lol!

Set 6 beaver traps this morning! It's just about to humid to do anything.

One turtle in my beaver traps this morning.

We had a flood here last night and the 10 day forecast is calling for rain every day so I doubt I set anymore until it looks like we'll have a dry spell.

Team 2 is on the board!

Grandslam has us our first 3 points! Congrats!

Outstanding!!! As soon as all this 4th of July crap is over I'm gonna get after them. Hate y'all getting all that rain Hank. We are finally starting to dry w little here.

Crazy weather folks can't make their mind up about the forecast. Looks clear for a couple days here now so I'm planting steel this morning.

Good job on the possum. Nothing for me so far.

Dang, I just noticed.... our hair is bout the same color!

I think the possum's a little darker! Lol! Don't sweat that, you could be going bald like me.

Like a kid at Christmas! Been too long since I've had coyote traps to check!

Im sorry to report that I have broken my wrist and my participation will be limited. I will still do my best to contribute.

Hate to hear that. Hope you have a speedy recovery. I haven't contributed anything yet either. Normally we have coons and possums out the arse around here. Since we started this contest I've seen 3 coons and couldn't get any of them. And to top it off I caught a boar hog in one of my traps this morning and sent a pic to the landowner and he told me not to kill it, that the Mexican that works for him wanted it and wanted to kill it himself so he could do all the crap they do to boar hogs when they kill them. Shot another hog Monday afternoon and it dropped and got up and ran off into a tall grass field and never found it. Still got time to rack up some points.

Dang that sucks! Sorry to hear it and hope you have a speedy recovery.

I've had 7 sets out for 8 or 9 days now without a catch. I'll probably pull them tomorrow and reset in 2 weeks.

Patience worked! I reset this trap a couple days ago after a big rain but it'd been out 10 days without any fresh sign. Sometimes they just have to season a while before the coyotes pass through.

Hank,

What are you baiting with? i have coyotes and beaver in some corn and will try some sets next week. Saw a pup run across the field when I pulled up this morning.

Wade you've seen my bait bucket. How am I supposed to remember all those names? Lol!

I caught that coyote on a compass set with 4 different lures. I couldn't tell you what combination of lures it was if I tried.

I still use the same favorites I've been using the last 10 years. I can't remember all the names. I'll look them up tomorrow at work and make an actual list to post.

Dang Hank, sounds like I asked you what you used to catch bass on with that answer.

I understand though. The fact that it was a compass set tells me more that what lure to use. Beavers just got in the corn too and they have a few distinct trails going in that should make it easy for them and maybe a yoke too. Just got to get a little time to get them in now. Coyotes are getting the garden corn too. Just hope I don't catch my momma's cats. Thanks.

Nice work Hankster

Thanks!

Wade I didn't mean anything by that other than I have some many lures that I really can't remember all the names.

My favorites=
Fox Hollow GH2 and Voodoo
Cavens Gusto and Yodel dog and Violator 7
Snareone Kryptonite
Big Sky Lures Coyote gland and Wolfers pack
Lenons Predator All call

For beaver
Dobbins backbreaker
Sweetwater flattail
Fox Hollow damn-a-dam

I don't use baits in summertime bacause of ants.

I also wouldn't bother with any beaver lure during the summer.

Just messing with you.

My beaver sets will simply be K9's set in trails. They have well worn trails about 80 yards from the river to the field. Ants wore me out in turkey season on any bait too.

Well I had one thrown by a deer last night! A John Deere tractor to be exact. Lol!

The K9 extreme was thrown still in the bed with a cleat track right across the middle but no damage to the trap. That's another big thumbs up to Kendall and his traps!

I hope to add to the total next week. Headed to the club for 4 days. Gonna be hot but I need a break from work and no better way to do it than hang out at da club!

I'd of been more impressed if the tractor was still there in the trap.










God Bless,
David B.

Just got back from my 4 day trip to the club. Will be posting up pics later when I get time. Total for the weekend is 6 possums and 3 coons. Also had a yote pull out so all I got on him was hair.

Awesome!

I'm going to try to get some more out this week myself!

Had a good run this morning

Got a few more points this morning

Way to go Marshmud!!

Pile em up Daryl!

Awesome run on points this week! Marshmud and Hunterflyy are piling the points up!

Got another point. Hit 2 other hogs and will try to find them in the morning.

Congrats Marshmud!

Way to go! I hope to add a few more in two weeks when I head to da club.

Only one week left fellas! It's time to pick it up and win this thing! I'll be setting some traps Friday morning and running them through next week.

We are behind! Need to step up this last week. I'll be putting the ole traps out tomorrow.

I hate to say it fellas but I'm done. Came in to work on overtime today and got scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday.

Woohoo for us. Hank I figured you were sandbagging and getting ready to post about 15 coyotes. Too bad you have to work but working this time of year is better than when it cools off.

All I had today was a crow that tried to pick marshmellows out of a DP. Ruined his day. Somebody stole a conibear on a beaver slide - had a cable around a tree and everything was gone. I hate thieves. Did have a coyote dig out the back side of dirt hole. Between ants and the rain moving in I'm about ready to take a break myself.

Wade I wish that was the case but honestly I just haven't had time between work and trying to keep my place up.

The contest couldn't have hit at a worse time for me.

I'll trade you my whole catch list for that patch of chufas.

This is my busiest time at work too so it was hard to make time plus the rain and heat don't make it any easier. We should do another contest during the trapping season. I like just seeing the pics people put up.

I've got some of the best chufas I've ever grown this year! I've got 10 patches totalling around 8 acres of chufas and I've never seen better production!

Fellas I'm sorry! I feel like I let our team down.

I've been out twice tonight to try to set some dp traps and both times it has flooded. I thought I might could get us one last push the next 2 nights but it just isn't gonna happen!

We gave em a good fight. I just didn't have the time to chase the critters like I wanted and this storm crap completely shut me down. It was still lots of fun.

Enjoyed the contest. It gave me a chance to get to the club and have some fun. Got a little scouting done while setting up the traps. North40R I'm gonna get you to the club so you can help me with the yote sets. I really enjoyed it guy's!
