Winter of '69-'70 was my first season, I've missed a couple since then, but managed to get at least some trapping done each year. I pick and chose when I trap now, this year it will be late January to mid February.
So I guess I've trapped 50 years; wow, never thought of it that way.

When I was 8 I talked my Dad into letting use 6 of his traps to set where I knew the fox would be. After a sleepless night, I road my bike a mile down the road to check them before school and had my first fox double. That was the day I was a trapper.
50 years ago last October.

I got $14 for one and $8 for the other and started buying my own traps. Last time I counted I had over 1200.
50 years later I think I have enough traps.

Thanks Dad

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