Since it was 59° this morning I decided to don the 5mm neoprenes and hit the river to do some preseason scouting and prep some blind sets.
Looking downstream
Two blind sets here- 1 between rocks and 1 on point of rock to right side of pic
Picture 2
Another double set- each end of log on trail - probably put some lure or fish oil in hole at end of log
Picture 3
Another blind where the bank ends forcing the coon & mink to the river
Picture 4
Same pic from further away
Picture 5
Need you good mink guys to weigh in here. As you can see this river is loaded with the root balls but I struggle to set them. Where does the trap go?
Picture 6
Trap in each end of this 24" piece of tile. Even has 2" or so of mud inside to bed the traps
Picture 7
Beaver cutting the corn? Saw just 1 other place that had corn in river and only 1 spot where the bark was chewed on some roots (pic to come)
Picture 8
Once again this just looks "minky" but I would struggle
Picture 9
Same trouble again
Picture 10
Best thing of the whole trip not 1 dead coon in the river... looks like we may be spared the distemper outbreak this year
