Great job Trap Setter. My kids went along when they were younger and it was great. They also go with now when they're home and we all have a great time. Enjoy these moments.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

Oh I do one of the kids is a friends kid who is 14 so hopefully in a couple years I can extend my line with him as a true partner. He really enjoys trapping his dad doesn't hunt or trap and only fishes a few times a year. They lived near 5he twin cities till recently so this was his first chance to get out.

IF ITS ABOUT THE MONEY DONT TRAP PLAIN AND SIMPLE. REAL TRAPPERS TRAP NO MATTER WHAT. I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS WHEN THIS SUBJECT COMES UP. Whoa there bud! Everything in life is about the money. The car you drive. The house you live in. Your job or business. Money allows us to do the things we want and need. Trapping is, and should be, "about the money ". That being said, most of us are trapping regardless of the money. But every year we also hope we might actually turn a little profit. Real trappers are those who trap according to their states laws, help pass on their knowledge, and support trapping.........often with MONEY. I just hate to see the term REAL applied to trappers, hunters, and fishermen. That just divides us and makes us weaker as a group. MT

I can hear non-real trappers rolling in their graves from throughout the history of the trapping trade, since they now know they were not real trappers because they trapped to make a living and didn't trap for chits and giggles.

How much money do you have to lose per year to qualify as a real trapper? remember---how to make a million in the fur market?? start with a million and a half.

Good deal with the kids trapset!! I sold 4 hides but kept some castor for a job I need to finish and figured some recognizable castor may do the trick if a tough one presents itself.
