Wisconsin Trapping Season 2020-2021

 

44 pound beaver and a 24 pound otter, second otter tag of the season



A big male coyote I caught on the very last day of the season in a cable restraint.  I set this cable on the first day and checked it every day.  It never caught anything until the very last morning.
You can watch the making of this set here:  Cable Restraint Set


Large female wolf I caught and released; gave me a "thanks" look before walking away.

Large female in heat caught on a drag in a Bridger 2 dogless, fully offset and laminated.  The release video of this animal can be watched here:  Open Field Drag Wolf

This was the third wolf I caught and released from the season.  The Wisconsin Wolf Hunt opened just 2 weeks after I caught this female.

Another large male wolf caught by the hind foot in a Bridger offset/laminated, set as a pee post for grey fox.

This was the second wolf of the season.  Caught just 3 weeks prior to the Wisconsin Wolf Hunt.  Though large and beautiful, this is actually still just a juvenile.
The release on this animal can be seen here:  Hindfoot Release

This was the first otter tag of the season filled on a foothold drowner using Gator Oil as an attractant.


This was a very aggressive bobcat, the release can be seen here:  Mean Bobcat


A photo that I take frequently, but just showing how you can't even tell which paw the animal was caught by.
