Any idea what a wolf pelt might be worth?  Wisconsin just had a 3 day wolf season last week and they had to close it down early because they exceeded their quota so quickly.

WOW!

I had no idea there was a market for wolf pelts.  How many pelts does it take to make a

full length coat?

Sorry just saw this. We don’t have “gophers” where I live but we have groundhogs and everyone calls them gophers . Apples, pears, peaches, cantaloupe work well, I caught one in 2 hours with apples on Tuesday. I just use cages because I’m trapping around houses.

Woodchucks are second only to chipmunks on my list of hated vermin.

Now what could a chipmunk have ever done to you? 
 

actually we have tons of people that call about chipmunks, we can usually talk them off the ledge

Hahahah! Believe me this lady would have rather seen a grizzly bear on her porch than that snake......

 

snakes don’t eat often enough to keep up with rodent reproduction

Haha I sure did! I’ve dealt with them many ways over the years, I like open the door and forget I ever saw it the best. Yes they can be a problem but not my problem haha

Our shelter has tried everything, now they no longer kill them. No matter what they do, the number of stray cats never waivers

That all depends on what you’re after and how much you use it. The green ones you can get at hardware stores are great for a homeowner using it 2-3 times a year. If you are trapping daily they will eventually get destroyed, especially by raccoons and/or groundhogs . We have a massive collection of broken traps. Tomahawk is my favorite brand, safeguard a close second 

 

durability would be my most important factor, maybe set the trap and spring it a few times before purchasing, see if you like how it fires off. Also the solid metal doors on cage traps like havahart don’t last long, usually the first raccoon destroys it
