Me and my trapping partner (both of us 13 at the time) got skunked on our first longline (one trap. A 1 1/2 longspring). My partner ate his dinner too fast and by the time we made the long trek to the trapline (again, just the one trap), he hurled his guts out. It was spaghetti, and in the snow, it looked just like it had in the plate before he ate it. (He was a bit of a food inhaler.) We set our can't-miss persimmon tree set which we had read about, except it was a crabapple tree with no fruit. You have to play the cards you are dealt. We came back day # 2 to check our trapline (1 1/2 longspring), and the trap was untouched, but every single strand of my partner's spaghetti was gone! The snow only had a faint hint of pink left of the sauce. Possum tracks everywhere but on the pan. You did good!
