Finally started trapping - 01/13/21 12:43 AM
Got called last night and asked if I was ready to start trapping from a buddy who sort of manages a guys property. I trapped it last year for a turkey, but could’ve made over $500 for just two weeks of trapping. I told him my fee this year and the landowner agreed and said he hopes I make him poor and regret it. Last year the property was only about 200ac. He bought an additional 350ac surrounding his initial purchase.
Got 9 footholds and 6 DP’s in after work, with the majority PDS’s due to the forecast of rain one day later this week and several days next week. We can’t seem to get a shower or two, we get inches every forecast. Going to spend the next few evenings setting the other parts of the property. Just the main road I set was full of coon and fox tracks with a few coyote and cat tracks mixed in. They are going to drop me some pins where they have have feeders and getting pics of coyotes. Supposedly there are 4 coyotes running together at one camera. I even called last year and asked how many critters he wanted me to take...got feeling bad, lol. The only reason I left last year was for one of my paying properties. Hoping this year is just as good! I’m excited and optimistic!!
