I haven't seen a thread started for the season yet. Green Bay usually kicks it off. I know some seasons are underway statewide, and in the north zone. Central muskrat and mink to open this weekend. As always I look forward to participating and following others on here, taking my kids and wife when it works.

As the trend for the last decade, despite low fur prices I look forward to my time in the Marsh, Field and Woods! The opportunity is there, I realize that won't always be the case, so I'll enjoy it now. Hope everyone enjoys the fall season ahead! Good Luck and share the outdoors with a kid if you get the opportunity!

Well last weekend we had a trappers Ed class for veterans. Was a good time and had some other members from here there as well. Guess that's the only pictures of trapping I have so far this season so I'll share 'em.

Trap Setter, that looks like a great event I'm about an hour from Eau Claire if you put on another one let me know I'd donate some traps or whatever is needed to support other Veterans. After Iraq and Afghanistan I'm not much of a social person but this sport has helped me out tremendously I'd love to see other Veterans get involved

Will do. Hopefully it will become a yearly event.

Waiting for Saturday here to trap a larger marsh. Sign is the lowest I have seen in years. Good year to just relax and not hurry and enjoy the venture. Did go with a friend for northern rats last weekend. TWo checks and we got over 125 rats. Hard work paddling in the wind for those days.

Thanks for getting the thread going. I have been busy with nursing home issues with my parents, working too much, and chasing my kids around. I always look forward to following what everyone is up to.

I'll be helping a friend set for coyotes at his place on Sunday. One more week of running coon traps after work, then I start on coyotes. Mink/muskrat and otter open then also, and I will set those also. Nothing huge, just having fun.

I've got two weeks of half days coming up, so I can spend plenty of time out there.

Scouted some area yesterday. Found water, found rats!
Headed out early this morning, put out 125 sets and called it good. Lots of duck hunters this year, more than I ever remember. Picked up the first rats of the year on my paddle out. Felt good to be back at it. Saw 3 other trappers making sets from shore, talked with one guy a little bit. Was going to check this afternoon but my wife has other plans, oh well. Hope to take one of my kids with tomorrow. Enjoy the nice day!

Marsh is harder to get to every year. Had a meeting this AM so did not set until 11 AM. Got 43 sets out as sign is down. Have meetings on Monday so won't look at newer areas until Tuesday.
