What are yours?

My goal is to catch a coyote in a snare

Have tried it a few times with no results but I plan to put more effort into it in 2024

i also have thought about some snares this year because of dealing with the rain we have ,having never trapped before i managed to trap 14 this year on lil over 200 acres here in e tex just from what i learned here and on the tube , just doing it for the deer herd improvement , i believe it helped the young ones seem to have seen alot more yearlings , saw one yesterday eve from stand so i guess its about time to start diggin....... happy new year fellers

I want to catch a cat or coyote in a snare and to increase my trapping time, also catch a coyote on purpose. I have caught them in cat sets but never set just for coyotes.

Someday I wanna catch a cat that goes for over $500

The good Lord willing, looks like i'll have to travel out of state but i want to run an ermine line. I would love to catch some longtail snow white ermine and get them tanned.
Sure, i could buy some already done but what's the fun in that.

Caught my first fox in a snare. Perfect neck catch. Goal #1 is to catch a bunch more.

Goal #2 is to set more snares for coon. I didn’t get docked for snare marks so I’ll set more snares in 2024. Besides, they’re easier on arthritic hands than bodygrips or foot traps.

Goal #3 is to talk to more farmers this summer and fall. Can’t catch them if you don’t have enough permissions.

Lord willing, I would like to run a early season high elevation Fox & Marten trapline!
Also would like to harvest some of those Highline Coyotes!

My goals are simple:
#1 Enjoy myself
#2 Help/watch a new trapper catch an animal that thrills them.
#3 Live to see another year!

Make more MONEY! Catch more PREDATORS! Get more RANCHES! And I LIKE Friar Tucks idea’s as well!

I wanted to catch a beaver the way i intended. Struck out. Will have to wait for spring if weather and work time allows or next December. Got 2 in muskrat sets and one that tail slapped a 330.

I would like to catch 8 cats with what time is left in the season.

I need to get more serious and organized about running or establishing 2-3 dry land trap lines before I get too old to run them. also if it is another dry year the rat habitat that I had 3- 4years ago will still be dry and rat numbers will be low as they were this year and last year. Also I will try tanning a couple coon and a canine if I catch one as with these prices not much loss if they don't turn out. My trap line up until 3-4 years ago was about exercise and dropping some weight. I need to get in better shape again and move quicker and longer. And yes enjoying the adventures will be key. Also more time small game hunting as well.

Get some of this gear sold off. FTF.

I would like to learn how to handle skunk quill

I'd like to make it a goal to learn how to catch beaver and otter by next year. I just started trapping with footholds in 2023 and ordered my first DPs a week ago. Moving into the water with those bigger, funnier looking traps seems a little bit overwhelming right now.

Just to keep trapping and have fun doing it.

For my truck and fur shed to not look like a cyclone hit it a week into the season.

Kind'a like handling nitro glycerin. All goes well until one little "oops"! LOL!

Spend more time scouting in the off season.
