Got a possum this morning bent the heck out the pan. FYI anyone wanting to get into trapping the bridgers 1.75 are pretty decently made traps the economy #2 Bridgers not so much. The Mb-550's are pretty dang solid traps with the right steaks.
“Duck hunting gives a man a chance to see the loneliest places …blinds washed by a rolling surf, blue and gold autumn marshes, …a rice field in the rain, flooded pin-oak forests or any remote river delta. In duck hunting the scene is as important as the shooting.” ~ Erwin Bauer, The Duck Hunter’s Bible, 1965
I'm starting this weekend.
My tally is usually much higher by this time of year. They're wise to the marshmellows and honey. I've switched to catfood.

I've been wanting to try possum ever since Roscoe Brown camped by that guys creek and watched him cleaning one for dinner. I think I'll give raccoon a try instead.
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.”
-Samuel Adams
Slow start, but a start nonetheless
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
Put traps out yesterday afternoon. Three coons caught on first night that I can see on the cameras. Check/dispatch trip after work. Canned tuna, cat food, cornmeal, and coon lure for bait.
I’m at 4 and a possum. I am staying at the farm Thurs-Sun, so it should heat up

The tally is now 6 coons after four days. Pretty good start.
Add 2 more from our crew.
Last nights catch...
Beware the free stuff...
Because it's usually a trap...
