Trapping
How many of you trap?Where do you trap?Do you wait till the furs are prime or do you kill for fun,like coyotes etc.
How many traps do you tend and how often?
What types of fur do you trap?
I trap and have been since I was 8 years old,so I guess about 29 years.I like trapping the creeks and rivers for mink,otter,muskrat, fisher,coon and beaver then the wilderness areas for bobcat,coyote,fox,marten and wolverine.
I wait till the furs are prime unless a rancher needs a coyote killed or some other critter.
I usually run around 12 dozen traps and numerous snares.
I log full time and tend my traps after work,usually in the dark.On the weekends I do a lot of remakes and sets in new areas and some predator calling too.
I love to trap and learn a lot ,just another excuse to be out in the woods I guess.
