    Excellent Wedes.

    Judging by the catch circle of that badger, guessing he wasn't in the trap very long.

    What a wide verity of animals you got there, that's really cool your able to trap all them. I really love the Grey fox. I've only seen maybe 2 in my whole life around here.

    man, that one coyote is a mangy looking critter .. I miss trapping/working in a fur house ... congrats on the catches .... grays use to be popular around here back when I was trapping(1970's early '80's), its been 20+ years since I saw a live one .. Reds are around, as are the damn coyotes, as are now the occasional Badger and now Bobcats are being trail cammed or caught(and then released) around here .. pic is of a Badger one night a few years back ... 1st live one Ive ever seen ...

    I caught tons of greys when I was in North Carolina. Decent amount here. No reds. I also caught a kit fox but didn’t get a pic of him. I have 5 grays this year. I was only running a few traps. Next year I have a 2 week long line trip approved on a 300,000 acre ranch here

    Coyotes no, I’m keeping that badger as it’s the first I ever caught. Cats in my area are average a couple hundred
