What’s your objective? Turf? Natives?

I’d like to just shoot “a deer” at this point. My season has been disappointing. Haven’t been able to go much, and when I’ve had time, other commitments have come up, or me, my wife, or my daughter has gotten sick.

It sucks, I completely understand. I’ve dealt with this situation before. Sorry if I came off as confrontational. In my opinion, you have two options at this point. 1. Call the law and have it documented. 2. The dog disappears

Considering the name of this thread, and the fact that I’m a trapper, I sure hope you’re not going on a mission to trap the neighbor’s dog. People tend to think poorly of trapping for various reasons, and things like this don’t help at all. There are so many other options.

Skunks are one of the more valued furs currently. The wider the stripes, the more valuable.

24 hours on most sets. Drowning sets can have an extended check, I do every other day on my beaver sets.

Caught a giant beav today. Haven’t weighed it yet, but it feels heavier than the 55 lb one I caught the other day. Also, I’m 6’5” for some scale. Update, the big bastard weighed 62 lbs.

Some beavers and a couple other critters I trapped with my dad and son this weekend.

Here’s a big 6 I shot in 2014. Wish I would’ve aged him. We guessed at least 4.5. I was super proud of him, not many 6’s gross 118”.

I sat Friday afternoon, had a forky in the plot early, that was the only deer I saw close. Saw another forky bumping a doe 400 yards away. It was a colossal disappointment. Not sure if the full moon hurt me or not? I generally don’t pay much attention to the moon phase, as I have limited...

It was in central Iowa. I’m fortunate to have some great ground to hunt. We always seem to have good amounts of birds. But we also have good habitat.

I think there’s 33 in this pic, it was from the first place we hunted this morning. It’s a 160 that’s all CRP. We had a big group of hunters. I think 17 in all. Hunted one other spot and ended up with just over 40. Called it a day at 11:30.

This! I loved the floating tag aspect of youth tags. My son is from my first marriage and he loves hunting! Unfortunately, he is only here every other weekend, so if the year fell right, he’d only have one weekend for the official youth season. Thankfully his mom and I get along very well and...

Our tracked bobcat at work handles some pretty steep slopes.

That year was rough!!! I found 12 dead on the 130 acre farm that I hunt.

He’s very food motivated…much like a dog.

I believe it’s a fox snake

Looks like Curtis will be pruning today at work! Lol

Heading down to the farm tomorrow to plant our last acre of food plot, a mix of rye, oats, clover, radish, and winter pea. After that’s done, we’re putting up some mock rub/scrape trees.
