Going good on bvr, not as many around as in past yrs in my part of the country. With wolf packs increasing there is more preditation on bvr colonies but there are alot of trappers out there hitting them during the season and then the DNR whacks them all summer on designated trout streams...

My season turned out fine. Muskrat were hard to come by due to low water levels. Caught a good number of raccoons and I'm still after beaver. The spring has started out slow for me, but I'm hoping things will pick up. I filled my otter tag and have seen 4 otters and plenty of sign. Maybe the DNR will give out more tags so I won't have to wait 3 years for another one. I sent a load of fur to NAFA with hopes I will get a fair price.

Coon I caught about half of the number of what I call normal years for me. Skunks less than half normal year and rats? The boy and I together caught about same number as I caught alone last year. I've spent about the same number of days chasing after each critter the last several years.

For the most part, my numbers were up. The coyotes, red fox, mink, badger, coon and skunks numbers were up. The only species that were down were the cats. That's about par since they were the only bigger money hide.

Coons were above my 10 year average. All other species below my 10 year average. I spent less time on the other species and quit for our deer season and tried twice to establish late November and December lines and with several 5-8 inch snowfalls pulled out for the year.
