How far do you travel for your trapline?
I lost 2 properties about a week before rifle season opened ~ this was just a few week before our trapping season opened because the land owners decided to lease the ground to hunters.
Now I'm having difficultly trying to locate properties ~ I've gotten around 24 no answers.
I've been offered a great ranch with watercourses and plenty of foothills but it is over 2 hours away.
Thoughts, suggestions, advice? Appreciate it Kindly!


If I give everything ~ is it enough?

Wait them out or find new land to trap. When they have to pay to get rid of their trash pandas and coyote. they sometimes see the light.


Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.

Depends where you are in life. A young man with a job and small kids at home likely can’t put the same time in that an older guy with less responsibility.

Set up a place to stay on the line for a couple nights a week.
Trappers here do it all the time when running remote lines.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
