............" It may be a one muddy @ss Stink Dog....but you can keep it !! " ;D No live pics for this puppy....had him by the old toe and a half catch, so was no time to waste with the camera ;D We made this set on December 23rd.....was simply a prominent grass tuft that we made a post set at...told ourselves then "this is gonna catch "....sat for weeks before a fox came and made a fool out of us in the snow before eventually pissin on the backdoor....2 days later we set a second trap on the backside...few weeks go by and a Yotey does Jumpin Jacks on our pan leavin 3 paws directly on our pan....Frozen solid never went off...remade it....2 nights later caught a grinner in it and he all but destroyed our set.......we were devistated, our best set in the field and ruined....never reset the original but kept the backdoor up and goin and then yesterday, for Valentines Day, Stink Dog #7 for the year ;D So for all those out there that ask "how long do I leave a set".... there you go 40- 50 some days this set went... a sleeper...and then BAM, yotey dog....Ace and I said we think thats what we love most the most about late season, when your persistence finally pays off...when you can make a catch on day 113 of an 114 day season.....just bitter Sweet !! But.....after day 113 comes the dreaded day (besides by my wife)......day 114...Today our last check A bit of me looks forward to it...but ALOT of me doesnt...Always hate havin to pull them.........Good luck to all you Trappers headed out today for that final check, and be safe !!
