Got a little too brave and drove too far into the field today and man did I regret it instantly. Thankfully I did have the tube sand and it took four bags and a half an hour but I got OUT.
Sometimes I wonder if I can really do this trapping thing. Spent nine dollars at the car wash spraying off all the mud
Hope you all are having a better day

Although I think our mud up here is a little muddier than that

I leave the mud on, it can only build up so much, rain will wash off any excess...

What's a carwash? crazy

You can always walk in...... Traps are set now just checking ? Lot places back in the day that's how I had to do it. First no side by side. SECOND and more important farmers didn't want people driving across the fields.Heck carried everything in and out. Up 4 am run traps before work by 8.

You need to get a 4 wheel drive or stay on the road berm and get a trailor and an ATV to get around. Two wheel drive just isn't going to cut it for you.

It's against the law to wash ur trapping rig during season...... no wonder your skinning she'd isn't over full yet. I think i spent more $ than that after cat season last year on just my SxS

Chin up buttercup. You got it out without being towed. That says a lot. Trapping is in your blood and always will be

You weren't stuck, you were temporarily inconvenienced
Stuck in when you need the farmers tractor to get you out
Leave the mud on, it protects the paint

Thats part of what makes trapping fun smasho.
Next truck you get get a 4x4
Some AWD suvs with good tires are better than a 2wd truck
Merry Christmas.

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

You're lucky you just got stuck. Yesterday I was resetting a 330 and snapped it on my thumb and 2 fingers. I was a mile from the truck alone with the setters on the bank. The trap was tied to a tree and I had nothing to cut the cable with. It's amazing how much strength you can muster when you panic. Merry Christmas ya'll.
