Buddy called had a skunk for me a big one it would of a been sweet pelt but the head was scabby but still a free Pepe for me. Went to check a few sets I have out for some landowners one place I have 5 cages and I set a snare on a badger hole in the driveway leading to the old farm place. Driving in I see the fresh crater and he dropped in the hole when he heard me coming. I drove to the farm place and a triple on Pepe's, I caught 3 there already I thought I was about done.
I stop to get the badger on the way out and I noticed the cable had been twisted and wrapped around the stake swivel, so I pull the set and notice the cable is broken in one place but so twisted in another place it held the badger. Lucky day for sure. Went to the next spot and has another Pepe there out of 4 cages.

Yeah I use to be able to have my wife help skin and quarter up deer with me but after 22 years she went all yuppy on me she will still cook and eat it but no more hands on stuff

When I trapped in Pennsylvania this year I ask about skunks. The guy told me you wont catch any, don't think we have them. Caught 4 the first two days. I didn't mind though.

Must of picked up 30 in the last 20 days here with that warm spell we had. Starting to see "white as rice" ticks on them now, must be a seasonal color phase or the change in temps turning them white. Have a couple guys that catch them then call me to get them out of their sets so free skunks for me. Took 8 skunks in one place in 9 days had a old tomcat the other day. At another old farm I have caught 7 skunks and a badger in the last week. Might hit the badgers a bit then go chase some thunder chickens this spring!

Picked up another skunk at the old farm so that makes 8 there I pulled a few cages and moved them to another place, picked up 2 coons also a smaller black one and big yellow one so not much value in either that way. LOL
Buddy called he had a Pepe not far from my house so I picked up another one today both were good colored with lots of white on them.
