6:30 I’m sitting here drinking my coffee , listening to the howling wind! Thinking about my sets and wondering if they produced any fur last night! Excited to check them , I made a decision to wait to about 8 am to start, I think kytrapper mentioned how some cats are still stirring . I realized I live in one of the greatest places in the world, the great state of Kentucky! Just thankful I’m still able to do a little trapping and want to be a little part of an organization that is like minded ! Good luck on your line to day and stay safe .

I’m in fur shed all day. Pulled everything yesterday but cats and coyotes will stir great through this cold snowy weather next few days.

Enjoy those children, they grow up so fast! Awesome you share trapping with them!
If you need another cat and have access to the river bank on the Big Sandy I saw a cat traveling it near where the old power plant smokestacks were.

I’m tying net this morning prolly get some cat stuff together later. Gonna help Ryan set some otter stuff later and I really need to get up the river a minute before it gets cold.
Really hoping I can get back on the river for a big line before seasons over.

I live about ten mile south of the power plant, in a little place called Clifford. It’s on the tug river ! But I know where you are talking about and might try to find some accessible land there
Colton your one tough son of a buck. The thought of being in a boat netting in this weather freezes me just thinking about it
I agree with you Perry, I get cold just thinking about being in a boat this morning 
Perry, you’re smart to rework your sets and know they’re working ahead of this cold spell. I failed yesterday to have one at no doubt and it cost me a cat.

We had another coyote yesterday, I didn’t get to bring the kids along on it because of the wind and cold, with the ground freezing I’ll be able to drive the truck again and they’re tickled pink to tag along again. We’re going to rework all of our coyote sets this evening when we do our check after I get home from work and also throw in 7 or 8 cat sets at few grown up spots on the farm we’re trapping. Still have about 100 or 150 acres that we haven’t hit yet. Might try to get some sets out there and get ahead of this cold snap.

Steve As cold as it is plus windy. I don’t know if I’m smart or a dummy to be out in this weather
It never gets too cold for bobcats to stir. They seem to love it.
