Does your dad trap? - 10/17/18 12:43 PM
How'd you guys start trapping? Does/did your dad trap? or did you just decide to throw a trap out?
my brother got me a dog proof coon trap for my birthday a couple years ago since I was having coon problems with my guinea fowl(in the turkey family). I got a license, fish oil, and a pack of marshmallows. Dumbest set I ever made looking back as far as location but what the heck. The next year my uncle and one of dads co-workers gave me a about 15 traps combined. A Pa trapper by the name of Bill Weaver came over and showed me how to make a set. I went out that evening and set one the next morning I went out and had the muddiest messed up coon I ever saw but I had one. The following days I caught 4 coon in five days. I was hooked. I still have never got anything like 4 in 5 but I have learned a lot in the three years I've been "trapping".
What's the story behind how you got to trappin'?
