Dose anyone trap animals out of culverts on a 4 lane highway. If so how do you combat all the stupid drivers out there?
******* I save my sick days, because come winter, I'm gonna have a bad case of trappin fever *******

Construction hard hat.
Orange or green reflective vest with 22 on an under arm shoulder holster.
Five gallon bucket and a metal clipboard.
Go at different times so the same people don’t see you each day.
How many lies will people believe before they realize their own idiocy?

Go at different times so the same people don’t see you each day. But your waders are still going to give you away.  For me, that's just too much work. Just make sure you're pulled off far enough where you're not going to get hit and do your thing. Most people going by probably don't even notice you and soon forget about it if they do.

Nah ai've seen plenty of workers in a hardhat and waders combo. Surveyors for one. Forestry guys. Etc.

First off make sure its legal. I assume you're not talking Interstates. I have a few stops on 4 lanes. I just keep an eye on traffic but otherwise just go about my business. This

Here’s what I have to do. Buy an enclosed trailer for all the signs. Not for trapping,,,,, you don’t And if you’re trapping in the median, you better have signs in both directions! That’s why you gotta buy a double axle enclosed trailer with 2500lb axles. To haul the signage.
