If it wasn't for mice and possums, I wouldn't have much.

Past Few Days

Baby Mouse

Found a Porcupine Den

This is what happens to a trap when some ASSHOLE runs it over with a truck.

Mom should be happy, I'm cleanin' up all the mice in the garage.

Another Pale Fox, lol. Smaller male Opossum, but he had a nice pelt so I kept it.

The Beautiful Pale Fox

2007-11-12T10:54:00.000-05:00

Okay, I'm not stupid, but since the Opossum keeps getting caught in my fox traps, I'm gonna start calling them Pale Fox, lol. This was a real nice, big, male Opossum.

If I had a nickle for every mouse...

2007-11-10T10:41:00.000-05:00

Big Day on the Trap Line

2007-11-09T13:21:00.000-05:00

I could be a pro-mouser, lol. Too bad fox aren't that easy.

It's a Fisher!!!

A big one too. This is a real nice male. They are a beautiful animal.

These aren't allowed to be kept in PA though. Worth about $100, but I let him go. Quick little critters, he was gone before I could even reach in my pocket to get the camera out. No picture of him out of the trap, but he was okay. He was actually sleeping when I first saw him. I also played with him a little bit. He wasn't hurt at all and was real curious. He smelled me and played with the stick I was holding.

SCORE - Caught the Big One

2007-11-08T16:20:00.000-05:00

OH YEAH, First Trap of the Day Caught this BIG BOY!!! LOL, I guess I have some Fox Bait.

The Dry Spell Is Over

2007-11-07T16:01:00.000-05:00

It took a while, but the dry spell is over. Just a baby Opossum, but atleast it is something!

I let him go, and he was fine. He ran and hid under the logs.

Fifth Day of the Season

2007-10-26T09:38:00.000-05:00

This was the first Opossum that I caught on the fifth day.

This was the second Opossum I caught on the fifth day.

4th Day of the Season

2007-10-25T09:54:00.000-05:00

This is a baby Opossum I caught on the forth day of the season. He was sleeping in the cubby and I had to pull him out to get the picture.

This picture was taken after I let him out. I wanted to reset the trap, but the Opossum wanted to go back to sleep. I let him sleep, and came back later to set the trap.

Second Day of the Season

2007-10-23T08:11:00.000-05:00

This is the first Opossum of the season.

He wasn't very big, so I let him go.

This is the second Raccoon of the season.

He looked bigger when he was in the trap, so I kept him. He was a little smaller than the one from the first day though.

This is the second Opossum of the season. It was a baby, and the picture was taken after I let it go.
