Bad weather is coming in a couple days so on the way to check I was thinking pull the traps until it passes. Once on the marsh I started pulling them but before I could get off the marsh I began to set them again. Not just set them, but ventured even further out onto the marsh in boots that weren’t proper gear in the event I missed a tuffet. Why do I do these things?

Hi , my name is hobby and I am a trapper

Hi hobby

"Hobby tells his story of near death trap check experience. "


God , grant to me the serenity of mind to accept that which cannot be changed; courage to change that which can be changed, and strength to make check when I shouldn't have kept those traps set.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Frustrating currently. Still catching a couple here and there but not bringing them home. Since I lost the one trap I’ve been finding guts and half rats in traps. Been moving them around slowly working my way across but today I may have stretched it a bit. lol

Eagles? Otter? Turtles? Mink usually don't take them down to guts here.

I’m thinking a raptor took the trap. Fox probably eating them in the trap. I would think a coon would be strong enough to pull them out of the trap. We don’t have mink here.

That wouldn't bother me much at the price they are now, but I had a death wish on an Eagle that ate three outta one trap when I was getting 15 bucks for xxl about 10 years ago! lol
