Set a few DP’s yesterday and getting ready to tend them before work.
I got jitters! Seems to get easier as the season goes on. Mix of half dread and half excitement. You all are probably so used to it but anybody else get extra worked up?
I’m not like this for deer or fishing

it's hard to sleep the first night or three...

Good Luck, Ashley!!

I hope You are blessed today with a catch

It’s like the night before Christmas!

Sure hope there's some trash pandas waiting for you this morning.

Good luck Smash. I still get excited, especially the first check.

When one of my sons was 10 we would set up opening day. That night just as he laid in bed I’d yell “ snap I just heard one snap”. He’d get super excited. 40 years later we’re still doing it.

Good luck smash! Even after so many years I feel like a kid Christmas morning.

Good luck on the check!

I get the excitement, but where is the dread coming from?

Good luck

Good luck

Heck that is the dopamine rush of trapping. You never know what might be around the next corner or on that tight chain in the water. When you lose that feeling you might as well hang it up. Good luck on your trapline check!

You never get over that first check fever, lol

Always exciting to check.. Like Christmas morning. I wish you with tight chains.

Feels good, doesn’t it???

Not so much for water trapping, now the first check after putting out 20-50 cat sets is another story!

Two this morning!
One was a bit dinky.
Better than nothing at all!

Congratulations Smash! Good for you!

Cool

Nice!!! Yep I get the jitters too
