How many traps do y’all run on your trap lines. I do 10 but trap with other people so I got a combined trap line. We got a small line but it’s perfect for us.

Last year I ran about 18 coyote traps, as well as up to 8 coon traps and a dozen to two dozen water sets and 4 wolf traps. This year I plan on running two dozen coyote traps, two dozen coon traps and 6 wolf traps and not touching the water critters until February.

About 18 or so. We trap (er try any way) the k9's and coons with an attempt at some mink in our swamp by the house. We have not tried other places yet.

If you dont count each snare at a jackpot,not too many.
I might have about 60-80 marten traps out on 3 lines during years of high juvenile recruitment.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Between 50 and 75 mix of coyote and coon sets.
Depends on what crops were planted, what sign is on the lands, but we generally end up somewhere in that range of trap numbers most seasons.

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