Sticky Small game hunting/trapping kills

[valetroutfisherman]

3 down today. Hunting from the house. One i shot off a log from my office window.
I shot 4 last weekend.

GAMO, .22 cal gen3 fusion whisper. Works great. Alloy pellets.
We live on 3 acres. Neighbors have a 2.5 acre plot on our right with their house behind our Property about 200yds from my house. The other neighbor has about .6 acre on left, woods buffer.
I just get them as their eating our chicken feed.

Went to check my little live trap setup, caught this guy trying to break into a building. Chased him off as fast as my broke off self could, got the best head shot one could ask for. First eye bulge in a long time. Probably only 20 yards at most however.

Sick but not useless I reckon.

So that wasn’t it for that pond - a few days later more activity but I had a trip to go on so I waited to reset until after I got back

Reset that pond on three February and picked this guy up the next morning



Castors were studly

CZ Royal .22LR

Sixty Yard shot on a big male, not even a quiver. Actually held the Hickory nut the whole time.

Other small female was 20 yards.

Love this little gun.

this morning caught this young male in a castor mound set,,, blocked approach with logs so he had to go through the "half submerged" 330,,

27 1/2 lbs

dropped him off with an old friend who needed some castors and wanted the meat,,,

28.4 lb’r pulled this morning

5th one pulled from this small pond complex (clearing two different ponds plus just got asked to do another one today from an old client)

33.3 lbs

 

[woodmoose]

Two from two different properties

First was 34 1/2 pounds 6th one out of this pond and I saw the seventh when I approached - reckon it was the mate




Second was taken from a challenging pond (shallow) - weighted 44 lbs even -
3rd from this pond

 

[woodmoose]

56.2 lbs

First buzzer beater I think in my whole life. Last day of season, and I managed to sneak on one during my daily yard walk, flushed it, and knocked it down. Just in time for my wife's new dulcimer, feathers for a pick. After this, this kill I can confidently say I'm going for the 28 gauge. .410 got it done, but not in an entirely satisfactory way. My motto remains true, sick but not useless.

Double today
31 lbs and 28 lbs

 

[woodmoose]

Another double today

Pulled all sets as I’m judging a hunt test (dogs) this weekend

Took this old warrior yesterday at the "generational mound" set,,, a dang beaver castor mound that is 4 feet tall and likely used for a long long time,,,

48.8 lbs

This little guy was taken today at a crossover castor mound hybrid set

27.8 lbs - good eating size

44 1/2 lbs taken in a snare set on a dam crossover - excuse the muddy-bloody head
