I definitely feel like I’m learning every time I have a miss, and I usually make some adjustments and improvements to a set that does miss. I guess I just need to realize misses happen and to not take it so seriously, after all I’m not making my living trapping and when I do get mad about it, it takes some of the fun out of it. But next time I might have to try Savell’s advice and see if that helps anything lol

I'm more surprised when I catch a coyote than I am mad when I see evidence that I missed one.

I fall to my knees, drop my rifle, hold my hands up and yell at the top of my lungs “why me”?

Just kidding, a couple eff bombs and I am usually over it.
