When I have my line fully up and running it takes 8-10 hours to check. I’d do more if I thought my wife and kids would remember me by the end of season lol

So is it a safe bet that many of you guys are either retired, or using vacation to trap? self employed and typically my slow season -- I still try to bill out at least 4 hours a day which leaves about 8 -9 to trap -- not as young as used to be and can't push as hard.

Always depends on how much walking I have to do and what I am trapping. I am running an hour a day on my check now but if I didn't have so much work I would spend much more.time and set more traps. Hoping to trap more in the next couple months. Self employment doesn't mean you can do what you want, more the opposite. Gotta make bay while the sun is shining.
Wish I had more time to trap....

So is it a safe bet that many of you guys are either retired, or using vacation to trap? Vacation time for me. I typically work the first week in November and take the rest of the month off. Then if the weather cooperates I'll take the week of Christmas off too. When working I'll just run shorter lines.

You must have missed out on skinny dipping with the girls at night in you're younger years eh?
