That would be on the Ohio State Trappers Website

A guy at work used to guide for an outfitter in southern ohio. He quick scored it at 201 7/8 using a piece of 1/8" tubing to follow the curves. Funny thing is it really doesn't mean a whole lot to me other than the fact it came from my property.

This buck was found dead about 20 yds from my tree stand during second season of shotgun. We guessed it was a road kill or died of natural causes from the rut as it was pretty rotten and coyotes were already munchin on him. No wounds visible but we sure weren't doing an autopsy.

Well fellas the ride along ends. Seasons are pretty much done except rat and beaver. No more beaver on my properties and the rats left are gonna be seed for next year. Figured I would post my averages and grades of my top critters. Critter Avg. Top Price Grade Muskrats -...

Ok lets take you along on a typical catch. First will be a coon in a blind set on a drowner (I have shown what I call a floater in my ride along) Reach in the deep water and slide the lock back up the cable, oh by the way it's below freezing and the water is only open because it's moving so work...

I put up everything I catch (except 2 little possums) this year. Also put up coon and fox for the kids I have been helping. Sending all my fur to NAFA Sunday hopefully my best year ever on prices.

Got first 3 beaver of the year glad I only set 2 traps as I hate putting up these things. First nite 38# in Castor mound with Dobbins Back Breaker and CDR's beaver lure guarded with a #5 Bridger Coil Second nite yielded these 2 out of 2 traps. An 18# Kit and a 48# female in same type of set...

Carpn takes the prize.... Green Gross Score of 201 3/4 Main beams of 26 1/2 and 25 spread of 20 3/4 mass between 6 and 7" all the way up is what really boosts his score

Added a few more pics... maybe give a better perspective of size

What's your guess on this ones score?

Been too dang busy chasin kids in sports to get much trappin done. Did snag another coyote today. Those MB 550's are an awesome trap. This one was held by 1 toe. Didn't spend too much time taking pics as we didn't want to lose him. Weighed on scale as soon as we got back at 35#

Ok not a lot of new fur total of 4 coon and 1 more coyote this week. I cant complain with the few traps I have out. The blind set at the bridge took #9 and #10 for that 1 set. Man it would be nice to have a dozen sets like that. I would post pics of the coon but they all look the same at the end...

I appreciate your opinions fellas. Trapping is not for everyone just as hunting isn't for everyone. It is what I enjoy doing with my sons and friends. I do the farmers I trap for a valuable service. Just ask the one who offered me $200 bucks after I caught 2 beaver that weren't even on his...

I started out 3 years ago using standard #2 Bridger 2 coils. I had more pull outs with them than any other trap I have used. I now use MB550's and will never look back for another K9 trap. Right out of the box they are ready to go. I added 18" of #2 twist link chain and a Dirt devil stake. How...

Sorry for no updates folks. I have pulled all but 3 K9 traps so not much to keep catches coming in. Did miss a fox at the set that caught the coyote Sunday. He missed the pan by an inch or so at most. Will reset Sunday after the orange army slows down a bit. I have 5 fresh farms to set so...

Figured with the warm weather the critters would run last nite. It was a bittersweet line check as I was pulling the line as I checked because of deer season. First farm was a blank which was really surprising due to the amount of coon sign that was there. Came home grabbed 4 wheeler and the 16...
