I started buying trapping stuff 20 years ago and haven’t stopped yet. I don’t think there is such a thing as “enough” traps to most of us. Especially when they keep coming out with new models, I think it’s federal law that you have to try them.

Before you can quit something you have to want to quit. Can you thing of a single reason you should quit ? Wives and girl friends opinions don't count unless of course you have joint bank accounts, lol.

Don't worry you aren't alone. I have made a few orders over the years that were same as obscene

Wait a decade or so and you will have a nice stash for the traps you need and want to use. Think of trapping supplies as an investment in your physical, mental and emotional health and in many years a way to recoup most costs and a really good way to establish a good working relationship with your rural land owners. Not may shrink session can do close to that and you probably will do all that at a lower cost.

The only thing i see that i dont approve of is-i cant order that few of things at a time. Big orders are how i justify the shipping and handling.

Still cheaper than an ex wife or a drug habit. But then I guess this could be a type of drug habit....

Gabe I hope you realize this addiction they speak of is basically a life sentence. I was about your age when I started collecting gear and as of now I am 51 and still doin it

the important thing is to budget for it

like 25 or 50 a paycheck for trapping whatever you can afford

some people buy a 35 dollar 1.75L of alcohal every week , if you can drink milk and water and put 35 a week at trapping you will be much better off as long as you make enough to fund that


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Lamination kits are usually sold by 24 pieces, enough to do dozen traps

Don’t worry, it gets better with time and more money haha. I order a couple dozen traps and other trapping stuff every year won’t ever set or use a 1/4 of the traps and other stuff I have on the shelf in boxes. But you can’t try to if you don’t have them. The kiddo is now getting hooked into it so the wife is just loving that haha.
