One of these days when I get caught up, I hope to scan and post many pages from Herb Lenon's Trapline Log from way back 30's & 40's. Really interesting to read each day. Mr. Lenon kept detail of what he caught, worth and how much he had to spend. I had goose bumps when I read it as I ran traplines on same roads nearly a century after Mr. Lenon.
Areas he referred to as big timber were gone and prairies had transformed to timber. Asa gave it to me after he sold me the business. Cant wait to the Virus goes away so I can go visit my friend.

Here is a brief sample of what i do:

42) #3N - DDH - Ma6 - Back - CCall - Bur - fish farm - east levee rd

Set 42, #3N victor trap, double dirt hole, mast #6, Backbreaker, canine call(up high), bobcat urine

The left side of the notebook is left blank, if i make a catch in set #42 i list it as:
42) coyote- remake Dwt-LeWe-GrYo-CoBall

Caught a yote, remade with a Dobbins walk thru, using lenons weasel and grawes yote duster and added cotton balls

I like the medium size ruled notebook. My thoughts are to use each page for a single location. Landowner, Address, GPS Coordinates on the header. Left margin would be Date, and Set, Trap, Lure, Bait, Urine, Catch (across the page). Then, use each line for every next day, and note catches, and remakes accordingly. Plus, use multiple books (color-coded) for different target animals. Any thoughts, am I trying to make it too hard? I just want to be as organized as possible, so I can look back and see what works, and where.

was told funke's is who sells the ones i like.haven't had a chance to look yet.
