I have few in the freezer and several fox and have held on to them but dont know yet what they are bringing Cody, I got something like $16 tops on coon earlier but the batch I just took in, only got $12 for the best. Ya gotta love this stuff, because if you want to make money, there are easier ways.... I swear I'm shipping my rats to auction next, year, ya'll remind me I said that, ok?

PA we went to set up a small damn a feller called us on and it was on a small creek and they had it damned up pretty new looking as the water was still in the banks but when walking in I saw where a beaver had chewed a tree across the creek and had hung his teeth up high and just drug them down a ways ,well it looked awful high to me but didnt think about it any more till we were leaveing and I asked Zackary who I had sent to the other side of the creek where the marks were and asked him how high they were and he holds his hand up about eye level to him and said about here and drug his teeth down ....hes about sixx feet tall ....I only set 330s hope they can get thier heads in them .I have neither ever seen them mark a tree this way or never saw one that could reach that high it would have to be a 80 pounder anyhow .Cant wait till tomorrow

Cody, By any chance have you had snow? If that happened up here, it would mean that we had a lot of snow earlier, and now it is melted off. The snow means that they walk "higher". lol.

No we get a inch or two sometimes but not that kind of snow .The sign show that they havent been there all that long which would normally tell me its a pair of younger ones but maybe its some that got displaced I dont know but I have never seen anything like it .I have seen pictures of really big ones but havent caught one that went 80 lbs before we will see what turns up
