From the time you leave your house, to drive wherever you're going, check traps, drive home, skin and put up fur for the day, and you're completely done with trapping related activities for the day.......how many hours, on average, does your trapping take in a given day? Obviously it can vary quite a lot depending on how many critters you catch in a given day.

Today it took me 2 1/2 hours, and I had one raccoon and one beaver to deal with. Anywhere from 2-5 hours is a normal trapping day for me.

Right now not much. Had fresh snow and did a little scouting today. When I start setting again and checking it would be a couple hours a day I suppose.

Right now Im running 12 marten boxes a couple trail snares and one jackpot close to home.
Takes me about 30 minutes to check the sets not counting the 1o minute drive each way from home.
In winter nowadays I will run 6 hours per day 2 days a week on the skidoo.
Just to add,I dont consider time spent at the trapping cabin in the calculations.
Sometimes I just hang out for a few days at the cabin just Kicking back,and just check a few traps on the way in and a few days later on the way out.

my little line i just pulled probably 2hrs total

When I'm going full throttle I will run traps from before light to around mid-day, sometimes longer. I will skin till supper time, and if needed skin into the night. In Febuary I'm lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a day. My lines I drive a UTV, use a pirogue, walk in, etc. I have every type of set you can imagine on my line. I will have sets for coyote, bobcat, fox, beaver, otter, mink, coon and possum. I will drive to check ones on the gaslines and roads, park and walk sloughs, put my pirogue in and paddle to check other sets. The only break I get in Feb and March is doing the veterans trapping event and doing the 3 day trapping events with LTAHA/LDWF.

This year about 13 miles round trip,maybe 1 hour,when I set up some bobcat and marten traps it will be about 2 1/2 hours and 40 miles due to back tracking.

Without skinning and stuff, as in SD, we can check every other day, and I usually skin on the days I don't check traps. It takes me anywhere from 4 to 5 hours to check the line I just had, with about 1.5 hours of that being drive time. When I'm running my float line, it can take me about 5 or so hours if I keep a good pace and I'm just checking the line, but sometimes 8 hours if I'm setting my line out. During spring muskrat trapping, it's very common for me to get 4 or less hours of sleep.

I need 9 hours of sleep.

Bout 3 1/2 hours

As much time as possible, really depends what else I have going on. I have 3 lines I'm running for a total of about 60 miles. I try to check each line on a rotation, so I'm getting eyes on each one every 3-4 days. Ends up being probably 5 hours a day average on trapping and related activities.

I run 40 traps of Mississippi River refuge land. My goal three hour from leaving home to returning.
