First cat of 10/11[img][/img]

Not yet Cory season starts December and with only 3 tags I will probably start out slow.

That stinks that you only get 3 tags?? Is that all of Utah??

i have some guys wanting me to trap coyotes this year, so i am going to try and get them first, looking forward to trying the pit pans and giving them a work out i hope, like to see them dirty yotes bend these dogs, them i am going full tilt for cats, took the last week of december and first week of january off to start trapping cats hard, i am thinking of trying some underalls "C" for the 6 montanas i have to give them alittle more tension, i have filed the notch to the trap jaw and still think i would like alittle more, any input would be appreciated on the underalls if you have used them

You talking about filler under the trap? I set mine right on top and use a little salt under if conditions are rain/freeze? Pan tention is good that keeps out all other criters. Good luck with the stinky yotes!!

underalls go under the trap pan, they say you dont have to use a pan cover for buried traps and it is suppose to give a tad bit more tension i have read, just looking for someone who has used them to get some first hand opinions

boys first cat

All ready to go

Don't scratch that truck![img][/img]

That the trucks sole perpose is to run my line so it may OOOOO well the cats will be worth it.

Well good luck to you! Have you streched many cats yet? Or are you a Jedi master at that?Holler if you need any tips??[img][/img]

Nope just starting out but Mercer Lawing is helping me out he is a great guy. I've got a bunch of trail cam pics of cats and fox and cant wait to start trapping.

Yep good guy and he knows how to strech a cat for sure! Got any strechers built or bought?

Got all my traps dyed and waxed. Ready to put some fur in the shed! I figured out a way to adjust the dogless traps while still haveing pan tension and a quick crisp throw.

got some new stuff at the kansas convention yesterday. going to dye everything tommorow and wax then hang them and hope the season gets here faster

how many of those cages can you get in the truck?

I've only got 27 cages but they all fit in my 6 foot long bed. I plan on putting some plywood in the bed across the fender wells so I can fit 18 more next year.

Just wondering I can put 75 of these in the back of my toyota.

Bet you are wondering how!

Very Coool But not my style. What kind of wire are you using it dosn't look very strong? How long have you been using those? Is this the first season running them? How do they hold up?

1x2 wire will hold any cali cat.I have used traps close to this one for a long time.Only difference is this one has a wire trigger.Best idea I have seen in a long time.Gonna run some to find out how they work.I know a 6in. pan works in this trap.Now iffen they will step on a pan they should trip the wire trigger.Hey it only weighs just over 13lbs. like 13.4
1x2 wire will hold fox too for sure.
But then again I have been told it wont work.Thats ok with me gonna do it anyway.

I didn't mean to sound rude infact I like it!!! sounds like it will work realy well. let me know how it works for you. Are you trapping in CA sixbits? The double doors with a wire trigger are a cool idea.

I have to ask a question with the traps that fit inside each other.I can see when you are going out to set them they all fit together nice .do you run your line and pick up the traps in the same order that you set them out? if not it looks like you would have a hard time getting them to stack together so nice.I dont pick up my traps like that I might leave one and move the next one to a new location .By the end of the year I doubt I could tell you what trap went where in the order I set them out.

I set all in one location them move them all to the next. All of my traps are numbered but all of the small cages are the same size and all the med traps are the same and so on and so forth. I dont have much trouble with them.

starting to get a severe itch, 29 days till everything opens, got some yote pee, lenons super all call, going to try and thin out some yotes for cat trapping later,starting on the yotes nov 1st, then hammer on the coons for awhile,an old guy up here uses straight fish oil for coons and piles them up every year, so i got a gallon of it to try, f&t was out of john grahams cat creek, so they sent me some Ogorams powder river instead, going to give that a whirl

well a buddy of mine picked up a road kill coon this morning tosee what they were looking like sure enough already white skin lookslike it will be a good early season on the coons

14 days till everything opens, between scout camp, roofers and now rain/snow today, i havent got 1 yote set out yet

Our season opened the 1st. I have got about 43 sets out so far. First check today. No cats but 3 fox. Found some more good sign and set up on it. Good luck to all you trappers out there!!!!

keep us updated on your whackm and stackm

you got it fellow trappers. I have a friend who longlines and has 6 cats as of today.

well today is d-day, and i have to go to training all day for work , took tomorrow off, going to set like crazy, got our first dusting of snow this morning, got the cab on the rhino
