Hello Everyone!
A couple of you may remember, that last year close to this time, I contacted you wanting to use some of your photos of fur-bearing wild animals. Well, it's that time of year again, and I'm looking for help finding photos. I need eight different shots of trappable wildlife, to use on different items that the Wisconsin Trappers Association (www.wistrap.org) uses throughout the year. Four of them will be used on the cover of our newsletter that goes out quarterly, and four of them will be put on scratch pads that are given as an 'everyone gets one' prize at our Spring Banquet, in March. In return for the use of your photo, you will get a set of these scratch pads (if your photo is used on one of them) or a year's subscription to the newsletter (if your photo is used on one of the covers. I can also get you more than one copy of the newsletter of your choice.) These items are slightly negotiable.

Now, down to what it is I'm looking for exactly. What I need, is photos of animals that are trappable in Wisconsin. That doesn't mean that they have to be taken in Wisconsin by any means. These include bobcat, red fox, grey fox, coyote, raccoon, opossum, muskrat, beaver, otter, skunk, mink, weasel, and fisher. I may also be able to use wolf, marten, badger, and possibly any others I may have forgotten.

If you know of any photos floating around DPC, or other locations, or have some yourself, please post them here. Of course, before using anything, I will be contacting the owner to make sure it's okay. Thanks for everyone's help in advance!

Here is a link to a Fauna Challenge that we had.

Hopefully some of the others will post some images that better suit what you're looking for.

thanks for the pics, and the helpful searches. i've pretty much browsed through the challenges, and did a few searches, then decided to ask for help.

the following are the pictures i used last year, just as a kind of basis for what i'm looking for.

i used those for the scratchpads

He-he. Certainly a fair number of "treed" furry critters. :-)
