Well I just got back from a good little trip with the kids. I got all 4 kids out on the line and did some trapping and some fishing. Fishing was real slow and wasn't much fun at all. We had a few more firsts as well with a lynx in a cubby set and a mink that was stealing bait in the storage shed. I used my new Pelican sled and it worked real well. I had enough room for 2-3 kids and a bit of gear as well.
Weather was good. The otter are making a fool out of me. They are all over but I just can't catch one. I got some real good spots set this time so I hope it happens next trip out.
Downside of the trip was finding 2 of my boxes ripped off the tree and one box completely smashed. The mini bullzozer tracks was proof that is was a logger or oil worker out on a cutline and had no respect for my property. At least the trap was still there. If I find out what company it was it isn't going to be pretty.


I saw this mink the night we got there. My daughter set the trap and in the morning she checked it and was so excited to find we caught it.

There is a beaver lodge 50 yards away and then next to the shore is a hole in the ice. I found 2 trails coming out from the hole. There must be a couple otter in the lodge and keeping the hole open. Hopefully i got one next time out. The hole is still open water so hope it works

Here is the hole

Here is another hole in a small stream where the otter is coming in and out. There is a toilet behind me in this pic about 10 yards. Got a 330 in the hole so it should work.

Sorry to here about your traps if you go to forestry they can tell you what company has permits then get ahold of company they are usually very good about compensating also you should recive written notification months before any work starts the oil and gas and logging companies have probaly not updated there contact information give them hec they will improve
