Last time I counted was 121 dozen. That was 6 to 7 years ago. I have bought many more since then. Everything from #1 to#5 both coil and longsprings. 110 to 660 body grips, plus build many dozen snares a year.

Wow not near as many as many have for sure! I own about 400-500 and that is plenty for me now heading for 78 this fall. Now one in my family other than me has ever trapped so was planning to donate mine, but will take a look at that as around here the species we trap the most are not encouraging new trappers to take up the venture.

Didn’t realize I was on the big money site, lol. If you own more traps than you can set, then you have a LOT more money than most folks I know.
I have maybe 4 dozen footholds and a 1.5-2 dozen DP’s. I’d have to have about 20K+ acres or more for the traps the rich folks own. Heck, it would take me 3-4 24hr days to set 300-400 traps.
I keep enough to trap the properties I have access to and most of the time I still can’t find enough locations to set them all.

It's an addiction, like women and shoes! I have dozens of traps that I never set. However, I will say that when doing land and water trapping you need a lot. I have probably 200 muskrat traps that only get set about every 10 years or so when we have a wet cycle. In addition, for predator traps, I like to set clean traps, although not necessary. That eats up a lot of traps.

125-135 dozen. I'd sell some if the market was there to justify it. Majority will just collect dust for now.

Not sure, but I ordered 1000 new trap tags. I know there will be some new Duke 330 Mags added shortly.
