One of my favorite threads was last year's trapping.

A bunch of steel you got there. What primary foothold traps are you using for canines?

I have a bunch of 1 3/4 Victors that I need to add new springs to . I won't four coil, thinking music wire   Thoughts? I bought my license again this year in hopes of actually getting some in the ground this year. Hunting season makes it tough to do both though.

Look forward to your catch photos again this year.

I'm thinking of taking the course and getting my license next year to try and lesson the coyote population. I'll be taking notes this year from this thread. Goodluck!

I'll tell ya I love trapping more than deer hunting just hard to do both as most landowners I trap for want me to wait till after deer season which is fine bc I deer hunt too

One advice I have if your gonna do it is do it right I learned the hard way to go to super stakes and stout traps....don't need to buy mb traps but get nice mid range traps the new duke square jaw number 2 offset 4 coil are great for the money. Also bridger dogless number 2...had to many losses with undersized traps and weak stakes

I very much look forward to following this again for this season! Used to trap quite a bit back in my teens. That was many, many moons ago! Best of luck to you this season!

How have the first few days been ? Any luck on the fishers ? 

Buddy and his son are currently getting mentored by a guy in Watkins Glen. Guy caught 2000 muskrats , 200 fox and 200 coyotes last year. Friend sent barn pics covered with fur from last 5 seasons.
