I'm in my first year as a trapper and the technicality and knowledge of the hobby blows my mind. I just want to learn everything I can through books, videos and hearing some real knowledge from seasoned trappers.

It was only my first season so I want to learn first and foremost. I want to expand my outdoor knowledge to pass on and teach my young son (want good outlets for him other than social media and video games). I want to be challenged, and rewarded for the hard work. I want to control the coyote population (seems impossible). Want to learn to put up fur and have the rewarding opportunity to sell or make our family beautiful fur products.
It’s a long road to wisdom. It’s a short one to being ignored.

Just another chance for me to be involved in the outdoors.
Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Memories, relaxation, challenge, anticipation of what's waiting around the creek bend.
Exercise, and to keep a tradition going
I got into trapping in the 90's so I missed the big boom of the mid 70's. Has never been about money for me.

Because since I found out that Santa Claus ain't real it's the next best thing and it pays better than fishing and hunting.
