One that sticks out for me is my firat big wolverine in a #3. My headlight was dying and there was no moon. It all worked out. I had him by one toe freshly caught.

Rylan and morgan set a snare when they were 9 and 5. I checked it alone and never felt prouder to see a lynx. Even more than my own first lynx. Winter trapping is done now and ive been day dreaming all day. Lots of good memories of trapping throughout the years.

10 years ago me and one of my sons headed out to western MD to try to catch a fisher. Had never seen one before. Made a few sets in what we thought was a "fisheryish looking" area. Came back next am and had one in the second trap! 30 minutes of celebrating and we moved on. Next stop, I went to check traps on left side of road and he went to right side. Few minutes later I hear, " Dad, Dad, we got another!!!" I holler, " BS!" I hear, "I swear!" Sure enough, had another one. LOL, that was the first year MD allowed 2! First beaver I ever caught, a long time ago, made me feel like a TRAPPER!!

I can go back to the exact spots I caught my first bobcat, otter, and red fox, but cant remember where the first coyote or grey came from as that's what I get the most of.
