That is great, congratulations!


Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping.
May I be half the man he was.

Thank yall. Man i was so excited i made a dirt hole next to a brush pile (trap was on a short chain so he couldnt get tangled up) and i made a horseshoe out of brush ( to make a almost natural funnel) with my dirt hole and my trap anout 8 inches behind and caught him almost perfect catch right accross the top of the paw.

Great job! Just don’t try to make all of your sets in the future look exactly like that set. I know you will have a lot of confidence in sets that mimic that first catch set but to be a really great trapper you need to be able to adapt to a variety of situations and conditions. Keep trying new and different sets and learn from each success and failure.

Way to go. Someone please show him the secret handshake.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
