Hi all, I just set my first real trapline today and I can not sleep because I am so excited to to check it. I figured I would go trapping since I cant deer hunt anymore. As I was setting my traps I realized that I was enjoying that as much as I had enjoyed deer hunting. It feels good to be able to make a little noise in the woods if I feel like it, and not have to worry about scaring deer away. It also feels good not have to put my clothes in scent proof bag every time I go in and out of my car. I think trapping is a little less stressful. Its funny how once I started setting traps How similar it is to deer hunting. Looking for natural funnels(smaller ones) and just looking for sign in general. I set all of my traps today in hopes for mink. I think that is going to be my target species.(because I can actually set 110,s) I have a 3-30 and a 220 but I have a heck of a time getting them set. I put out a bunch of blind sets using the 110s and some #1 coil springs. I feel very good about a couple sets. I hope the mink dont mind that I didnt dye and wax these:confused:. anyways I hope I will be posting some pictures real soon. :chillin:
