Was raining and water standing on Nov. 1 so I did not get any traps out on the opener. Did manage to get a few out at the home place the next day. I can check this short line between wood goat hunts and hopefully thin down the predators a little bit.
Not surprising, first catch though.....the infamous Carolina Silver Sable
Followed up the next day by this fella in the remake from the possum catch..... Since he lives in Chapel Hill County, he gets a pass, no fox season here.
Next customer was a big fat stinker. I do wish they did not get the red dirt mineral stain so bad. If the stripes were bright white, the pelts would be so much nicer. A novelty item on the fur market but the interest and demand for them is pretty steady. And the most valuable part of them is the smell.
And the Silver Sables come in a wide range of colors too......
