Got my first lesson today and was given 5 traps to place. Wish me luck!

Don't worry. Hochul has that under control: ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10)— New York is one of eight states that saw a drop in population this year. Over 101,000 people left the state according to the U.S. Census Bureau. “Affordability, public safety, housing, mental health, our nursing homes need staffing,” listed Tedisco. “But other things are not so obvious, and we have to get a holistic look, a deep dive into these things.” He and Democratic Assemblyman, Angelo Santabarbara, are now introducing a bill for commission to research the exact causes of out-migration. The commission would consist of 13 members chosen by the Governor, Senate Majority Leader, Assembly Speaker, and the Minority Leaders of both the Senate and Assembly. Public hearings would then be held in all regions across the state. But in her 2024 State of the State address on Tuesday, Gov. Kathy Hochul pointed to the lack of housing as a reason people are leaving, using it for justification for lawmakers to address affordable properties. “People aren’t moving for warmer weather or lower taxes. They’re moving next door,” Hochul said. "Three of the top five states New Yorkers are moving to share our borders and have similar taxes. People are earning in New York but living in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut.” The governor said the high costs of rents and mortgages are caused by a housing shortage in the state and outlined other cities in the U.S. whose ambitions to build more housing “dwarfed ours.” Hochul: Housing reforms is solution to New York outmigration (spectrumlocalnews.com)

Looks like it might be warts. Really black in color. Weird for sure.

Trapping was one of the ways that I bought my school clothes, back in the dark ages when I was a kid. I used to go to school smelling like a muskrat....lol. I was hooked on the challenges. I had a grandfather who trapped, and we partnered up and ran a hell of a long trapline (a couple hundred traps). The prices weren't any better then, but the money went a lot farther. I was buying all kinds of stuff with my fur money. Trapping had a lot of American heritage and history involved with it, and I think that was the main reason I got into it. There is a lot of matching of wits with the critters. A trapper has to have some very serious knowledge of woods lore and animal habits. What animals are you mostly going after?

I've watched them fill the Trough's at around 9 am , I believe they fill with Oats , Acorns and sliced apples ! They use an ATV setup to automatically fill the Trough's !

I have purchased some from an ebay vendor years ago for my Super X1 Winchester, the ones I bought worked perfectly. You can always ask questions to the seller for any of your concerns. Al
