Got out to check snares today. Been a rough week of getting around to check them down here. Have had 40 mph winds and snowing making getting around tough. First snare of the day I walked up to a VERY alive badger. Snow had filled in the cow trail enough to where the badger got neck snared but got one leg through the loop. You might know a badger can move a lot of dirt when caught in a trap, well they can move a schit ton when they are caught in a 10' snare.

Rest of the morning was a lot of hoofing it into snaring spots from the trails being to full of snow. I almost decided to go back and get one of my mules to ride and check snares but decided to just man up and throw the pack on and go. Ended up having an alright day. Found some fresh bobcat tracks so hoping to get lucky and put a loop around one of them.
