Can't seem to catch a coon, but got my first beaver Tues. and first otter tonite. Hope coons pick up when the corn is all out.

Sure will. Don't really have any goals, but my boys sure have some lofty numbers expected.

Yep, this is going to be my first year trapping. Gettin excited, still getting stuff ready, should be done soon.

I'm from Belle Plaine, but hunt Tama Co. when visiting family. Could give ya a call when aroun sometime.

I agree with TD. Check out IA trapper talk. I'm new to trapping as well and have learned alot from the guys on there. Just ask them a question and you'll get a straight, honest answer.

Headed to sugema camping this weekend, hopefully get into afew.

Nothing but greys so far down here as of a couple days ago, alittle early yet. I'm down here by Farmington as well. Hopefully find some tomarrow, then up to Belle Plaine next weekend to hopefully hit it just right there.

I have followed some of these guys before and they go country block after block doing this. The ones I've seen just go wherever because of the "who can stop us attitude." I hunt, I trap, and I wonder if something happens to one of their dogs on land they don't have permission on, do you think...

I was just wondering about the "earth anchors".Is there anyway to get them back out of the ground besides digging them up or do you just cut the cable?Or do most of you just use rebar stakes? I'm pretty green to all of this so any advice on anything trapping is helpful, thanks.
