After much soul searching and existential thought I have determined that I have enough traps.

I'd like to thank those who have helped on my journey, as I never dreamed I would ever be able to say that. However, through years of scanning classifieds, birthday present requests, begging, and some things I am not proud of I can tenitively but proudly say that I have enough...

My support group and therapist are extremely proud of me

However I am going into the city today and am having dark thoughts of picking up another few thousand feet of snare wire...

Please pray that I keep strong in the face of temptation!




And good morning everyone! wink

I feel for you!

Being a trapaholic is a costly addiction. It affects many, including myself!

Are you sure a few 1000 ft will do? You better double that!!! grin

My last purchase a few years back was 7000 feet. And the spool is bare!

And trap setter I figured some would see through my thinly veiled attempt at redemption! I'll be sure to take this subject more seriously in the future!

Be strong Hutchy.

Temptation is sneaky. It will try to convince you into reasons why you need more.

Look temptation in the eye and don't give in.

Now I would not see a problem if you bought a few traps for your kids or grand kids. Lol

You guys are no help at all! Snares are hardly traps tho, right? And if it's for the kids...wait. I don't have kids... Yet!!! Can't hurt to buy in advance!

I don't have too many traps. I have too little trapping ground. I'm a long liner trapped in a short liner's body. Help me find acceptance by providing me with new trapping ground.

Hutchy! Stop blathering! Come to your senses young man.
Seems now the NEW wife has you wearing an apron. Step away from the sink son and clear the smell of dish soap from your brain.

Everyone knows when the market is down BUY BUY BUY. And the markets are certainly down.

Just relax, in thru the nose out thru the mouth. This too shall pass. We're here for you.

I say that I have enough every time a box shows up on my porch and my wife gets home before me.


I trap for fun. I skin 'em for the money!

7000 ft of snare cable in a few years is pretty impressive to me.

As far as having enough traps, how is that even possible?

Guys should we call someone? I mean it's obvious Hutchy has fallen and hit his head!!

Do we know what we're in for if he comes home empty handed?
