There is a buttload of wannabe’s on here for sure.

This right here. I don't trap just to burn gas and have cold fingers. It just doesn't make economic sense. I still have a stack of tanned pelts from last year for crafts I suppose I could work on.

Good luck

Why would someone join a Trapping Forum...if they weren’t a trapper....or trapped in the past. The “ Wannade “ don’t float with me ,about this forum.

Thanks. The cold front hit and my access vanished. For today. Tomorrow it's fetching and getting. Anyone who's been along with me knows, it's action Jackson Junester when need be.

My get up and go has not yet got up and went!

You got me

I "wannabe" better/more successful so I come here to see what I can learn as often as I can

I have 4 traps out now, it has been raining for probably 30hrs straight AND I was working all day at the hospital

Technically I was trapping since traps were "set" but I was not out in the field setting or scouting locations. Will be setting some more sets tomorrow but I am not looking to sell fur (southern fur is not worth near as much) as much as I am looking to decrease the predator population for fawn survival

Lol

That is a Bummer. But i have to ask why would you have to remake all 136 sets?

They are full of those fat little fishers

Me too! That’s a load of work. What’s the reason?

I guess I should add that my son and I set out some coyote bait and snares and remade a lynx snare pen while out Checking fisher boxes. I guess our little snowmobile rip was more than just catching a fisher.

Hi Gramps hope all is well.
Caught a mink yesterday, a regular Jim Bridger I am lol.
Ran with Kip and Buddy one day, always an adventure.

I'm mainly here to torque off the grammar teachers, and good at it.

The rain we got yesterday played havoc with this dirt. Dig 'em all out - rebed. Relure all, and roll tide.

back in the 80's those mink wouldve brought close to 30 bucks apiece.

I only have 10 k9 sets and 8 coon sets out with my boys on the farm. Most k9 are washed out and 2 coon are under water completely. Monday I will hit my friends new property for his problem beaver and outer but will also set a few for anything else I see tracks for. But it will only be a few check days there due to time.

On Friday I will take the boys over to out friends place and run a mixed line but primary focus will be coyotes and fox. But I will set for coon and put a few caster mound sets.

I told myself there was no reason to beat up my body and my truck with snow on the ground covered in ice. It was a good choice the weathermen weren’t wrong for once.

I’ve been watching the full moon and I have a little run of 8-10 days off at the end of the month. I might run a small cat line around home 10-15 miles and see if I can pick off some cats I haven’t taken a shot at this year.

I pull pockets I had set last week thurs with cold ice. Reset 3 pockets last Sunday, an left all be sets, pull all traps in row Tues bfore winter storm hit, plan on reset. Few, not lot Sunday, start of warmer weather a lil, like do some late season coon in thaw, what time I got, scrape coon this morning.an hope late after noon muzzloader hunt, lot guys trapping this year. An fnt post told me that a supply venders for trapline. Not keep up orders, swap months. Because goverment stimlous money. $600 ui in past a week , open up savings acct. I did last summer for coupleinths. Saved up bundle, pay things off, spent way over 2 k pickup , ahead house payments. Months ,loan payoff , never been that far ahead on bills but back work months, savings been dwindling some. Winter storm an like 10 days no work, unpay. An unpay holidays. For me

There's a time to fish, and there's a time to dry nets.

They are worth $25 bucks each today if you know where to sell them.

Care to share. Tis the season.
