Post Turkey week trapping
Bro and myself set out a pretty big line the week of Thanksgiving like we have for at least the past 15 years. Weather was perfect and we stacked them up pretty good. The best we've ever done actually in an 8 night check. Ended up with 24 red fox, 2 greys, 22 coon, 33 muskrats, 2 mink and 1 35lb male Yote. The spike was my opening day WV buck. Shot him at 7a.m. and was checking traps back in MD 2 hours later. A couple random shots from the line.

Good haul. I don't know anyone who has done better in this neck of teh woods. A friend down the shore gets a lot of muskrats and sells the hides and the carcuses. Muskrat is an eastern shore delicacy. I think he gets about 2$ per.

That last pic is great, needs to be blown up, framed and put on the wall somewhere.
