I usually carry a 22/410 to pot meat while trapping. 99.9% of trapped fur is dead,and if I see furbearers while trapping I expect them to turn up in a trap next check. I do use a gun to shoot nuisance beaver on occasion.A lot of times if there is a pair of beaver at a nuisance spot you can take care of the problem with a gun in one trip.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I carry one most all the time on the line.
Right now I’m having amnesia and déjà vu at the same time. I think I’ve forgotten this before.

Ny won’t let me carry a pistol yet, so I leave a .22 in the truck. I only end up using it on about one skunk a year

Only carry (44 mag) during spring and mid summer, when scouting trapping areas, for bear protection. During trapping season water critters are dead, land sets animals use dispatch pole.

10/22 here, sometimes I just take our little cricket single instead.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Does anyone here not bring one along? i have at times trapped a place where the condition of me trapping it was no firearms use. it is a city owned property not in the city but adjacent to it in WI on a all water line it would not be for trapping
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

With the numbers of lions we have in the “foothills” throughout the state here? Never go into the hills without. Not all mountain lions understand their place in the food chain and I sure don’t want to encourage bad habits.

People go places without firearms? Urban myth I think
