Now that I am approaching retirement I have started gathering stuff to run a small line. After reading the rules repeatedly I have about 20 ft x80 ft that meets guidelines for me to trap on my property. To not upset anyone I have about 20x20 hidden back in the corner . I’m in a suburban area so only box trap or dog proof are ethical to me. So I set my first ever dog proof set yesterday. This morning I had a possum, it’s not much but my first catch in nearly 40 years We plan on moving once I retire

Quick check on the walk to school resulted in frozen rabbits for show & tell…..lol Wind Blew, crap flew, out came the line crew
