... the creek off my daughters yard - with a beaver feed bed in the middle ~
last week Dear Hubby put in some traps ...
ALWAYS ... carry the chisel and test the thickness of the ice!
popple sticks make good bait ...
HELLO ... anybody down there!
~ Staci's driveway ...
... she lives out in the sticks :)
... chiseling out the traps ...
Dear Hubby isn't happy with the set up on this creek and is pulling his traps out until a later date. I guess he knows what he's looking for.
~ the bottom broke out of the trapping basket ... I guess I have my work cut out for me now ~ trying to figure out a way to mend that.
... guess I'll carry them :)
I was really nice out today. The temperature was around 20 degrees ~ the sun was shining. I enjoyed getting out with Slim for a few hours this afternoon. It was like a tropical heat wave out there after the last few days we had of sub zero weather. We came home, had a crappie fish fry with some baked beans and hash brown potatoes. Life is good.
Until next time ...
So it goes in my neck of the woods.

Here's to hoping all the traps are filled when you check again!! Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day! I love what you had for supper.
ReplyDeleteYou'd probably be in shorts down here, it's 48 degrees. I can't imagine being in that kind of cold, more than just a day, or two. Brrrrr!
ReplyDeleteYour area looks like mine with the snow packed roads! Glad no one fell through the ice. I hope you will post when you get a beaver in the trap, I'd like to see the process and what you do with them- pelts, food?
ReplyDeleteMy fave pic is the one of YOU! Miss you.
