Already it’s Thursday…boy do the days go past quickly.

Today is going to be interesting.  I have some goals to reach and I just hope the snow allows me to achieve them, it’s the only thing in my way at this time.

To reach the bend in the stream going out of Big Spring is one and it’s only 100 yards from the end of the spring, and if I can make that I should be able to set another 10 traps.  And then over to the two small seeps to the South where I usually catch around 10 rats each year.  Most people would not even think to go over to those two spots but I have found rats there and always plant a few traps.

Once I reach the bend, if the snow is not too bad, I will continue down the stream to the East as far as there is running water.  I expect to find the edge of the ice down there not too far.  Once I hit that, I will turn around and hit Little Spring, check those traps and continue to set that out as far as the road to the Goose Club.  There is where I expect to hit the ice going that direction.

Life is good.  Health is great!  Gotta keep a positive attitude in light of the deep snow.  I may end up doing more digging than setting traps, but whatever happens happens.  Wish me luck!

If it didn’t blow too hard out there last night I should catch “2” rats…;-)
