When I’m out calling at night with my thermal the deer don’t seem to mind at all. They just kind of walk into the nearest cover and mill around.

My son got a feeder for his birthday last year. We put it out after season ends…it’s programmable. Don’t know if it really helps them much, but it gives us some nice pics and we get an inventory of some of the deer for next year.

At first I didn’t mind their videos, then I learned more about how they operate. Don’t care for them much now.

This is the best thread ever!!!!

Otters swim so damn fast! I’ve never seen one not suitcased in a conibear. Almost every beaver I catch is perfect, right behind the head. I’m glad to catch them in conibears….they are insane in a foot trap if they’re not drowned.

Caught otter number 2 on the season today. Pretty excited as I’ve only caught them in eastern iowa before, these are the first two I’ve gotten in Greene county.

I don’t think they are currently legal in Iowa.

I should’ve said he works with me. Lol! He is as amazing as his avatar pics!

If I didn’t have a 3 year old daughter and a full time job, I’d trap like crazy and hunt them harder. But alas, I’m stuck working with Curtis. Which I suppose is an ok secondary prize.

You have good points skip. If there was a fur market at all, it would help a lot! I don’t necessarily want the market to explode, but an uptick would be nice. When the market is good, a lot of idiots come out of nowhere, and dudes like me who trap regardless of the market, have lots of gear...

I’m not a fan of coyotes, but I’m not a fan of killing contests either. I just feel like it does nothing but give ammo for the anti’s. This is not a fact based thought at all, just an opinion. I saw pics from a furbearer contest earlier this fall, where they literally took a side dump trailer to...

Dang! I have expensive hobbies! Lol!

As someone who has 2 vexilars and a camera, how much does one cost?

Congrats Curtis! Great season and great avatar pic!

It’s been a few years since I’ve caught one. I’m going to try to cage trap one here in Boone county soon. My brother has seen 2 close to his house.

No idea how old he is. Zero trail cam history with him before thanksgiving. I’ve sent for a kit to have his teeth aged…hopefully they can make it work with only 1 tooth, I broke the second one off. I’d be shocked if he’s not old. His bases were 9 4/8” and 9 2/8”. Just looks like a buck that is...

Thanks guys! It’s been a long time coming for sure and I can’t wait till next year already!

I posted after opening weekend of gun season when I broke my 7 year buckless drought with my best buck ever. That same weekend a very unique buck showed up on the cameras and he became the object of my affection. This afternoon, to his dismay and my extreme pleasure, he stepped out and gave me a...
