My goal is zero possums and zero coons. Not achievable but one should have goals.

I’d also like to catch the rest of the fur I need for the bead spread I’m planning to make.

More everything and to trap in other states possibly catch a lion and a badger which we don’t have. Already planning next year to go to Idaho and do the wolf school and take a shot at that

Want to get a coyote, mink, beaver and grey fox this year. Even 1 of each will make me happy. If I can talk the Minister of Beauty and Finance into it, I'd like to head to the Adirondaks for a week of Marten, Fisher and Bobcat trapping, since they're not legal catches here at home.

Caught 4 coyotes last year in footholds, shooting for 10 this year. Also gunna target otter for the first time and see if I can’t fill a tag or two.

Would like to hit 30 coyotes, before the market became nonexistent I had planned to try and pile up some coons but probably not a good idea to do that now

My goal is to take it easy and enjoy it. Seems like all my past seasons have been a rat race. Trying to make as much as I can. My goal every season is to break even. With current cat prices (the only thing with real value in my area), that’s going to be tough to do. So this year I just want to enjoy time with my kid. Plus with the low cat prices, competition will be way down.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

the zero possums would be an awesome goal. I almost did it last year but on last day pulling sets i picked one up...first one id caught last year. All previous years i was getting 20 to 30, seriously. Maybe I finally got them beat back enough on some farms I'm on.

Hoping for a nice pile of coyotes, a cat or two, some fox and some mink. I know mink aren't worth much but fun to trap. Coon are just going to show up whether I try for them or not. I like catching a beaver or two also.

Oh and not have a single piece of equipment stolen, ran over, shot up, stomped into a mashed up mess of steel, no coyotes shot to (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) and lying there all worthless, no skinned coon carcasses left in a live trap for me to walk up on, either. Those would be nice goals to meet this season.

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

Simply to be able to trap the entire time I'm on vacation. Past few years I've had things come up that have stopped me early. For critters just double last years amounts.
6 coyotes
40 coon
4 beaver
2 otter
2 mink
60 rats

Learn to finish my fur. I figure ‘mess ups’ are easier to stomach.

My number one goal is to not catch myself. Made it almost all the way thru the season last year until a badger bent the dog on a MB-550 and I didn't notice. Had 4 fingers by the first knuckle. For animals, 30 coyotes (Had 28 twice) and an otter.

My only goal is to stay healthy through the season and not tear up my truck. If I can manage that the numbers will be there.

Last year being my first year, my goal was one coyote since that is what I was mainly after. I did very well as far as I am concerned and got 17 coyotes, 49 coon, 52 beaver, 20 rats, 1 badger.

My goal this year is 20 coyotes. I have gotten permission on some awesome ground and my MB550s are dyed, waxed and ready to snap! I have added to my MB550 collection and now have 7 dozen. The way work is going I don't think I will have enough time to set them all but I will try and get 4 dozen out for sure. Good Luck to you all!
