Wondering if anyone strung out a few traps today. If prices aren't bad enough we had to have this crazy weather. Have a beaver problem to take care of but going to wait till after first shotgun season to put any traps out.

Thought about it, but as a weekend trapper it would of been a one night soak and pull them. Plus still in deer hunt mode and the bucks are chasing so dont want to stay out of the woods unless deer hunting.
