I kind of chuckle at the memory and the situations. Share a story of a normal, rare, or unique situation where where you took an animal or multiples.



In the mid 1980's I was trapping muskrats and had kept track of the number of times I had 2 muskrats rats in one trap.. When pulling traps one day I had three rats , two by the tail, one by the hind foot, all in a number 1 1/2 blake and lamb coil spring..
Or so I thought for over twenty years. My friend, the prankster,,,Mark Steck had put all three rats in my set in the middle of Cottonwood lake.

That Mark is awesome…lol. I told him he should do a ride along with the two older spring beaver trappers from Wisconsin that got 5-600 the other year.
This isn’t really a double or triple story, but a few springs ago I had one rat in the water with a FH on each leg….lol. Wish I had my cam set to video.

Twice I have thought so. As a young man, on my very first attempt at bobcat trapping, very first trap, I caught a nice 19lb cat. Thought I was pretty sharp. Then, just a few years ago, I snared a wolf in the first night in one of 3 or 4 snares that I set. My first attempt ever. I thought "This is going to be easy". Well, let's just say that there was a LOT to learn after that!

At times in my trapping career, I would think I'm getting to be pretty good when it comes to trapping. Then I get on Tman and feel like a rookie compared to some on here when I think, "Why didn't I think of that?"


More and more when I go anywhere I find myself keeping track of where the nearest rest room is.

As I learned to be a better trapper I see that the more I learned about trapping the more I realized how very little I actually knew I know that there is a lot more I do not know about it than I do know But that does not keep me from enjoying it and wanting to know more yet
