This one crick I trap is about 10 miles long and could spend a lifetime just trapping this crick bottom and area. Coon, mink, rats and beaver are all over in this crick. There wouldn't be enough time for me to even come close to covering the area. Around ever bend or embankment there are dams and catch pools. Unbelievable if a man would have time to trap the whole season in one place.
Here just a couple pictures of a couple hundred feet.

Very peaceful.

It is a bit common for very good, long continuous wetlands that follow whole mountain ranges here. The whole valley following wetlands and rivers, creeks, along the ranges.

Such places are so refreshing. Thanks for sharing such nice photos.

I have a crick like that also. I have trapped beaver there since I was a teenager and am still trapping beaver there. Good area for everything else also.

Awesome and thanks for sharing. Makes us all appreciate the cool stuff around us. Have fun.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

It is a good problem to have. The world just needs more trappers. I'm going to see if a young ranch kid would be interested in trapping by my place. He lives there and they own a lot of land also.

Certainly in Montana there would be a few cats around also.

This. The creeks attract a lot of game birds and bunny’s, cats of course. Other than the cats it may be hard to stir up much interest, prices what they are. Young people don’t seem to be looking for something to keep them busy outdoors like we did when I was young.

Some places are just magical. I had a large pasture that I called the 100 Coyote Pasture. It was beautiful piece of land that felt like you could spend weeks trapping.
