How many of you are doing more hunting than trapping now a days? Trapping is more in my blood so I am saving this old body just to set trips.

I do both. Hunting season is longer than trapping season, but I trap almost every day of the trapping season and don’t hunt every day of the hunting season. Then there is always fishing season to talk about also!
I just buy the license and to do stuff whenever I’m able.
Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

Trapping but only because once I start I have traps out for three-plus months each season. That's 90-110 days. I wish I had time to hunt that often but I don't. I usually hunt 50-60 days a year.
Eh...wot?

To me, trapping is just a different type of hunting. I seem to do more trapping these days than I do hunting, even though I enjoy both.

I am spending more time trapping these days. I enjoy it much more than hunting. Me too. Got my deer meat now waiting for season to open.

I hunt for meat and really don't look forward to hunting. Try and hunt when trapping so I killing two birds with one stone. I'm not saying I don't enjoy hunting. I just don't get exited about it. I've lived the better part of my life trapping and I still look forward to it every year. I've probably eaten more critters than I've trapped than big game I suppose. When I was yung I enjoyed duck and pheasant hunting. And archery dear. From about 1980 on I got serious about trapping and lost interest in hunting. I've got 7 days to fill my 2 dear tags and I haven't hunted yet. I'd rather work hear on the farm and prepare for trapping. Fortunately I can harvest the dear within obout 2 miles of the house.

Both, time only allows for one at a time, thought I'd have more time when retired, seems less.

I still just pretty much trap. An occasional pheasant hunt or I may tag along with my boys on a deer hunt. They are more into hunting than trapping.
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
