Nothing like a trapline to get your mind off of other issues for a few hours. The antler was a nice bonus - earliest one I've ever found! www.trappingtoday.com Trapping Today Podcast: http://trappingtoday.com/category/trapping-today-podcast/

It was a good little run, catching a marten, fisher, weasel, and muskrat. Doesn't sound like much to many, but it was nice to get back trapping. Alex Wilderness, in a word, is freedom

It's good to get it out of your system even if just a short line. Good job. www.trappingtoday.com Trapping Today Podcast: http://trappingtoday.com/category/trapping-today-podcast/
