Talking about aggressive. Second season trapping. Hammer33 gave me lots of good advice ladt year. I befriended an old trapper on the Trapperman forum who has also given me great advice. I have a road that I share with a couple of other land owners. I didn't want to have animals bouncing on the side of the road when others drove by. He got me interested in using drags. This is my first cat on a cubby/ walkthrough with a duck wing hanging over it set specifically for a cat AND a drag. I set it in a 8 yo pine thicket right on the side of the road. I drove up and looked in my cubby. If appeared that something had dug around my trap without springing it. I walked around the rear of the cart focused on the cubby. I almost had a heart attack when it jumped at me growing and hissing. The cat had only gone about 10 feet when the drag did its job. It too, calmed down quickly.

Great thread. I've never trapped outside of my yard/neighborhood, but have a good friend that is solid in the deep woods/ag fields/drainages/etc. IMHO, successful trappers deserve a TON more respect than they get. I love the strategy and sport of trapping more than hunting alone. Kudos to you who are all successful trappers. When I get more time in my schedule, I plan to attempt it, at least a trial run at it. Thanks for sharing all of your sets/photos/advice, y'all are the read deal IMO.

Haha same here on the "culdesac" comment.
Them coons will growl at you too. The bigger ones think they are bigger than you, and their attitudes certainly rival mine when they're pissed
He doesn't look to happy

Congratulations
Not much to write home about on this afternoon's check but scratched out one coon.
Painted up 14 more foot holds yesterday and got 3 in the ground this afternoon. Going to work on putting more out tomorrow.
Makes 9 coons, 6 possums, 2 skunks, a coyote this year.

I have really got to get my crap in the ground. Been to busy but we slowing down so here i come.
Awesome. I'm still at 1 yote. Have 4 behind my house and 2 at my other property. Bought another dozen and got 3 of those out last night. Putting more out today. Catching small critters is fun but that yote catch really had me pumped. Hoping for more soon.
Another coon this evening.
2 coons and a possum today. One of the coons and a possum were in the foot holds.
