If I could trap anything once more I'd trap red fox back in PA in the 90's, nothing like a red on a frosty or snowy morning. I love trapping rats too, but never had a spot with good numbers, but love trapping them when I find them.

Here in Iowa though very few reds and not many rats around me, so I focus on coons and coyotes, and I do enjoy trapping/snaring coyotes.

Honestly heck I enjoy trapping everything! My ole partner Arnold and I used to say "If we make a catch and are not excited, then it is time to quit!" Even a doggon opossum can make me smile at times, if he is not in a goo canine set. smile

Sorry I don’t have much of a repertoire.

They’re very rewarding to catch. Had a problem with them at my place of work and I was catching them every day, sometimes doubles.

I enjoy hanging cable for Fox and coyotes. But the last several years I have been trying to get a cat to walk into a cage. I have been close a few times. When it happens I'm sure it will be my favorite.

Same.


Stop over cooking your meat! It isn’t gamey, it’s over cooked!

I have trapped over 100 foxes in a season while working 40 hours a week, also over 100 beavers in a season, best years on coyotes, was 89, trap over 2000, rats, in a few weeks, in North Dakota, trapped over 80 skunks the last 4 years each year, so what I'm saying is I love to trap smile

I haven't fur trapped in 10 years. I think I enjoyed catching gray fox and fisher the most. But, was happy anytime something stepped on the pan.
I like catching nuisance skunks.
I absolutely HATE mole trapping.

I had to trap a mole at my mothers a few years back and I used the victor outta sight trap. It was quite the learning experience and it took me some hard lessons to figure out how to locate the tunnels and set the trap right with the dirt under the pan so they’d dig through and trigger it. Then I had to put a pot over it all so it stayed dark. Finally we were rewarded!

I like trapping muskrats, then coons, red fox and mink. We don't have a beaver in our county and I have not travelled to where they are more common.

Fisher and muskrat. Too bad we don't have more rats here in PA and a bigger bag limit in fisher.
