That was my memorable sentence from this morning so far. I went for a ride this morning at 0530 to look for bulls and then to our field to check beaver traps. Basically traps set on trails leaving the river to enter the field.
I get to the first trap, GONE. I was like dang man, lol... Ground was all scratched up and then I noticed a path in the field so, I knew the trap/animal traveled into the field. Followed the patch to my trap with a beaver in it.
Yotes had drug it off... Cool, beaver and my trap recovered.
Basically, I walk a fence line from trap to trap and its easy walking. Next traps about 40yds up. I go to the next trail and before I can even look for the trap, ###!#!!##! ##!!***#, Aw hell naw!!!!
Dang YOTE runs up the river bank towards me, turning body sideways, growling and nothing but teeth. What a way to get woke up fo-sho! Home now to grab a 22. Not sure if he has a foot in a conibear or if he was
eating something in the trap, heard me, and thought I was another coyote. Best be gone when I go back after breakfast or he's gonna get a 22 to the noggin.
That's freaky getting bumb-rushed by one of those

Where the trap got drug through the field

Round 2 gonna be sketchy... 3ft tall grass, a possible pissed tote at point black range... SMH

Good news, im alive, haha. He was on a trapped beaver... Prolly a 50-55# beaver

Dang, that one would makes James giddy

Nice

Nicebeaver!

Haven’t seen a hairy beaver since the 90’s

Why da hell you out checking traps with no fire power in the first place?

Are you gonna stuff that beaver or just look at it?

I throw them away...

Cause I don't need a gun to take a dead beaver out of a trap... Except for once, lol. There's no bad snakes here so, not much need.
I just drive up, check traps and roll out.

I like that lil gun of yours.
You earhole an elk with it yet?
