Another season is here and I finally got a few days off around Thanksgiving.  Gus and I got a small line set Wednesday evening and Thursday morning.  The local fur buyer told me he wasn't buying anything smaller than a 27 inch coon and they were starting at $2.00.  So we are being real selective with the ringtails.  Caught 2 good ones and Gus caught a pair of nice boars and turned 4 kittens loose for next year.  Been trappin' rats for a couple of local guys, mostly for landowner relations.  Set one beaver snare Thursday morning in a narrow spot in a ditch, 1S-72 with a 10" loop about 1" off the bottom and had a 45 pounder Friday morning.  Caught her around the neck but she had a front foot in the loop.  Had the treelock on a good stick jammed in the mud and she pulled the whole mess up on the bank where I found her tangled up.  Learned a good lesson about anchoring.  Looks like colder weather coming so I hope work slacks up and I can get more sets in.  Let me know how y'all are getting along and if we can help with anything.  Good luck and take a young'n with you.  Thad
