I got a computer for the first time in 6 years.

I always liked the idea of keeping a log but I would always misplaced the notebook.


I'm going to try to use an excel workbook. What info is the most useful to record? So far I'm thinking date, percentage, temp, cloud cover, moon phase.

Type of set, lure, bait and urine. Helpful on remakes.

Also, what you catch on said lure, bait and set. How many days it set before a catch and how long between catches.


When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

There is a trapping app that will track a lot of this info, but it slows me down to much to actually use and using the GPS wears down a battery rather quick.

I've done a bit of Web design and maybe some day I'll make a Web portal that people can put this info online in a Web browser quickly and easily. Also have the ability to search their own results. Wouldn't be that hard to make.

Great idea! Congratulations on getting a computer. It is a real treat to have a working computer. I hope you have loads of fun with it. We did not have internet for many years. Someone said to me - welcome to this century.

I have notes that I took on my trapline from more than 40 years ago. I could not read my own handwriting back then and I still can’t read it. But I am certain they are trapline notes because of the little scribbled maps and messy drawings. Now thinking about it, they could be love letters or death threats. I have received plenty of both.

To help you along, here are a few fun variables to add you your form or database.

Color of your shirt.
How long since your last shower.
What you had for dinner two days ago.
Your mother’s maiden name.
Number of days since ————. (You fill in the blank.)
When to next change the oil in your truck.
Candidates and issues you favor in the upcoming election.
Your plans for the weekend.
You emotional state, oh sorry that goes on a Facebook page.

That is all I can think of for now, I am tired. Best wishes.

I count on my hand how many times I showered. One time on my wedding day and one day the day she left. I figure showering washes off my protective film. I haven't been sick in 10 years and I don't smell like a human so I don't spook critters as much.

I have an app on my phone I'm going to try that logs most of this info. Not sure about the shower though. LOL. Its called IGoTrapping. It did cost $3.99. Not sure if it will work, but going to give it a try.
