I’m inviting all of you to my divorce proceedings as witnesses because I feel that each and everyone of you have played a part in my demise 🤣🤣🤣. What started out as let’s start trapping has now turned into a full blown obsession. In a span of 3 days I went from having no traps and looking at state land because I had no private land to trap to having over 100 traps and now 4 properties to trap. Somehow I even talked my wife into getting her trapping license! She was cool with it until she went to the training course and realized that the 100+ traps I have probably won’t be enough lol. She sat and listened and passed her test but the reality of what road I have gone down set in. Now I have to figure out how to smuggle the rest of the equipment I need in like they do in prison. Otherwise I’ll be seeing all of you in court! 🤣

Have you learned fhr handling yet? 100 traps for a mixed line? Have you fur handling equipment yet if not someone to help you out?

There is a ton more than just traps.

Funny you sound like me right now with bee equipment. Not my first year but 4th each year I keep expanding and there is always something else to try or avenue to venture into.

Go slow and learn as you go. You may find out you want different equipment or prefer to target this species vs that one. When your new you don't know what your preferences will end up being and you may want to try a few different traps to figure out what you like and don't vs buying a bunch of one thing.

See you are doing it all wrong!!! Don't sneak just alter them a little. Take a Dozen traps, wire them together and then hang a lamp shade on them. Now walk right in and tell your beloved what a Great buy it was at a yard sale and how you always wanted a Lamp shaped like a bunch of Traps and would love to put it as a center display on the Coffee table. When she refuses to do it tell her you will keep it in your Trap shed and now have another dozen traps!!! Married men have been doing this for years!!!


God please keep they 19 fallen UBB miners out of trouble up there.

I’ve got 1.5s #2s 120,160,220 and a couple 330. I’m working on stretching boards now . I have a background in taxidermy so I’m good with the fur handling. I’m lucky in some ways because there is a lack of trappers in my general vicinity so these farmers and hunting leases are dying for help.

I've found that it's always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission. But I'm on my third wife, so maybe you should get advice from somewhere else......

A good friend of mine used to collect guns like I collect traps. He would leave for a gun show with an empty gun case with a broom stick in it to make it look like he was taking a gun to the show to sell. When he bought a new gun, he would simply replace the gun with the broom stick and carry it in the house like he never sold the imaginary gun. One day he made the mistake of leaving his gun safe open when his wife was around. Once she seen the number of guns he had it was all over. He ended up getting a new car for her....told him I thought that was an excellent trade...

See you are learning. Sometimes it is better to do things like this just to keep your marriage smooth. You can even tell yourself this is for her own good and Happiness!!!

You could also ask your buddy to bring them to your house after you buy a dozen and tell him to say thanks for letting me borrow them. Just make sure it is a buddy you can trust. He may use them for a season before bringing them to you.
