What do you do in the summer or when its not trapping season? I know some of you guys are nuisance control so you trap year-round. But is all you do is finish skinning, fleshing, etc., and get ready for next season?

Work, just like the rest of the year...lol

At night and on the weekends I catch catfish as fast as I can put them in the boat. Summertime just isn't right without a fish fry every other weekend


Gotta live up to the nickname...

Plant crops, haul grain, put up hay lots of small squares. Cut down trees in local towns. Then harvest crops. Do a little adc work. Spend all my free time with the wife in the boat.

Tan what little fur I got last season... work in yard.... trap squirrels that like to tear up my house... keep getting older... try to remember what I went into the other for... look for the tools I used yesterday... did I say getting older?
