Most of the day I always add more sets to keep it fresh, later in the season I pull and add so it's more about available daylight then time per say.

I run mine while checking cows, feeding cows, and breaking ice for cows, so varies a lot depending on how needy cows are lol. Then run the rest when cows are taken care of.

30 mins to run it usually and probably 1-1.5 miles of walking total. Most of the land is 5-10 mins from my house. Right now I'm running 6 sets but in the next 2 weeks it'll up to 24. With my job I can only run them anywhere from 2-4 days at a time

Usually 2 lines that take a day each to run,and then another 4 or 5 hour line mid week. Have run as many as 5 all day lines,and stay over in the cabins.Havent run like that in a few years now.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Depends on how many sets i have out and how many possums i caught. Somewhere between 1.5 hrs and 6. Could be 30 mile trip or 75 mile trip. But its every day with 24hr checks. I pulled everything today and gonna go do something else for a week or two.

I ran my current line this morning in one hour. That is 15 coyote sets 4 coon and 24 muskrat sets. Nothing caught so that is the lean run time.

24 coyote sets, 8 beaver and otter, 12 mink sets, 6 muskrat sets. Right now it's taking 2 1/2 hours and it's on 6 farms for about 34 miles. All the easy trappings done- these are all for travelers at places like cross overs or ridges, ect.
Just passin through
