I got it so bad that Im liable to put traps down with out anchoring them. Lol. Been scouting out places to trap and attempting to make use of my one game camera. Any one else shaking this bad that they might set off a trap before bedding it?

I'd hate to see u when the first coyote is running laps in the catch circle. Dont shot yourself in the foot in all the excitement. Took me about a month to catch the first coyote.

Ha! Your going to be fine! We all catch our fingers and the ones that don't - well you know

Don't worry. There will be no fire arms on this trap line. Slightly to urban

This is my first season, I can honestly say I have never been this excited for deer season before! I LOVE my deer hunting but I am more excited for trapping season to open than anything else! And my 5 year old son is just as excited to join me!!!!

Since I started land trapped by my deer hunting has come in second. Used to walk the woods and notice every deer trail, food source and watering hole. Now all I see is coyote track, scat and other sign. I am sure it has always been there but now I notice it all.

I'd love to be there for you new guys ups and downs, big fun.
Skin a few cold ones, the shine will wear off a little.

Might just be me, but I think being nervous hurts your catch, confidence is better.

Well as they say this too shall pass. I think its more confirming my locations with actual catches.

I quit deer hunting all together years ago. Had so much fun trapping coyotes I wasnt going to focus on anything else.
Welcome to the sport and let us know how it goes!

The enjoyment of trapping will never pass. Each season brings new findings and questions. Enjoy every season like it is your 1st.

Steelflight, the anticipation is awesome!!! I love it and I love other folks that are fired up too

Love it.

I always thing of the first morning after I set as Christmas. I am so excited to get out there to see what I "got".

Enjoy!

Set my first coyote sets last year. Had my second knee replacement so I only got five in the ground. Caught 3 coyotes in two weeks in those five sets. Location, location, location.

Just set a dummy hole with a camera. Here hoping I have good location. Maybe I will get lucky and see a bobcat.

Well my first set is in the ground. Let the games begin. Set the trap off twice. Once was my little boy stepping his boot on it. He was'nt hurts'The second time was a rock getting kicked at it. He wanted it to POP! I will be checking and adding to the line as time goes by. The trees were alive with grand colors.

Me to in all my twenty years of deer hunting I never got the enjoyment as I did when I seen my first yoter in a trap! Years later I still get the excitement. Anchoring a big buck is exciting but a true bouncing double will trump any day! All I hunt now is turkeys and I think that's because its spring and my trapping itch has been nullified
