From w side rd 151Most trappers understand trapping is hard work or else they don't remain trappers very long But a season worth of hard work including fur put up always gives me a feeling of contentment and the satisfaction oof a job well done Regardless of how much my fur check ended up being the selling of my fur always came with a sense of sadness due to getting rid something that had become a part of me Hard work but a sense of pride that just does not happen very often You know what you are in for and you also know how it is worth measured in a way that is not about dollars and cents Thanks for the pictures.

Very well put. I think most of us lifelong trappers feel the same way.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

YES!! w side rd 151, very well said, all were 330 set , all foot holds were frozen up with ice, I have a younger man name Adam, trapping with me this year it is great!!!, we have over 50 set out but they have been frozen up for 3-4 days we like to do a 4-5 day check, Have a lot more places to trap, but water is really low, this trap check we had a bank president and his son with , its great public relations ,
