I would say you and your sister did quite well. I hope you enjoyed the experience and maybe even learned something. Debbie and I had a very memorable season. Ed

Took 11 beaver, 1 coon, and a couple rats this fall. I may go after a few more beaver this winter if I have the time. No fisher this year. I only put out 4 predator sets in one small area, and took only the 1 coon in them after several checks.

Keep pluggin John, I know how you feel. We've all been there.
When I was learning there was limited instruction available to me, and stiff competition on the line. $100 foxes kept lips zipped.
Hope this site helps, there are some excellent trappers here.
Keep asking questions, everyone's willing to help.
Dale

So that's the problem, you're lookin for the space shuttle instead of trapping It took me quite a while to get where I am today, and like Dale said, nobody strats out on top. Theis site is full of people more than willing to share and if you get a chance this Summer stop into the Summer Rondy, we'll have lot's of demo's!!
