11/14 for everything except beaver and otter and they open 11/15.

My traps I do up most years in mid to late spring, so they are in sealed tubs waiting and ready. I probably wont start hard until the first of December. I'd like to get after some 'cats again, been missin the hissin!

You never forget that sound. I released one that was on a drag that had climbed a tree last season. In the dark nonetheless. Looks like you are like me do most checking before work.

I do...my wake time can vary from 2:30 to 3:30 but never later through the week. It gets old when I'm trapping hard and steady. I sometimes get a small break on weekends and get to sleep in to 5:30, but I hate to even then because I trap public a lot and dont want my catch stolen by some uncaring hunter.

2-3 when I have to get up as well. I set farms on weekends. Then run before work through week. Weekend my only day runs normally.

Gun season is out. I was off today so my partner and I hung a bunch of snares. Lots of rain coming for weekend so no foot traps. Should snag some fur next couple days. Felt good to be back after yotes.

Good luck. I hope you get a few of them critters.
