Another early rising day.  Lots to do today.

Bob is planning on making it to Club 41 and I told him to use the day as mostly a “reconnoiter” day.  Drive through the club, look around, set a trap or two, mostly set floats.  I said I would be zipping back and forth around the club property and would run into him somewhere along the way.

At the end of the main road through the club is a turn around that I call the culdesack.  All the water the flows through the club eventually ends up at this point and it really flows hard over a dam they have built to help back it up.  He could put all the floats he has right there and probably fill them up daily.  He will decide.

My goal is to set another 30 to 40 traps today.  With my past experience it will be difficult to set that many because there just isn’t the rat population one would expect on the remainder of the club.  I also plan on visiting an interesting looking area I saw on a Google Map.  It looks like it could hold a few rats, but then it might not even be a swamp.

Expected rat count for today:  20.

Gottago!

A beautiful day in the swamp!  Very comfy.

Bob did make it today and he was pretty excited.  I think he put out about 17 traps, but not sure.  We split up and I never saw him again until we got home.

I set another 22 traps and am at the end for Club 41 with about 97 traps.  I will set Doris’ pond and Steve Petersons next week and then the season will be over.

Catch today…20!  With 9 set off!  I can’t understand those.  Anyone give me hints on how to keep that from happening?

Bob caught 9 rats and had a bunch of set offs with either feet in them or nothing.

Over all a good day.  I have some pictures to post up, but not tonight.  My rear is kicked!
