When asked what is my favorite beaver set, my reply is a set with a beaver in it.

One should master the Chinese handcuffs before they start trapping. grin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

One should never put, and then forget to take out, a bottle of lure in a coat that will be washed by the 50% of the marital pair that will not think it's funny. wink

It is a wise man who readily admits how much he does not know about wild animals in spite of his lifelong experience of outwitting many of them.
In other words, one cannot learn anything if one believes that they know everything.

Always put the trap where the critter is gonna place his foot!

You catch most canines sniffing the post, not taking a leak on the post.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

From my journal 20 years ago- Never hang a marten to thaw over an open box of bisquick.

When it's time to quit learning, it's time for that dirt nap.

The only constant in trapping is change so keep learning.

If a canine location is good enough for one set it's good enough for two.


Eh...wot?

Without out failure there is no opportunity to learn, without learning there is no opportunity for improvement.

Steel on the ground always catches more fur that steel hanging around.


Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

If you catch something in what seems like an odd location.....look around...there's a reason that animal was there....and there will be more.

Set where the critters show you they are, not where you think they should be.


Wish I had more time to trap....
