I started doing that at the beginning of my trapping efforts And now I can look back over 50years and recall how /when /and where I was successful in my many attempts at jut catching something Congrats on doing much better than just catching some thing That's the way I feel about it too, I have my yearly post from last year saved, I just haven't gotten around to putting it into a notebook yet. Thank you!

Developing the skills needed to accomplish that feat will serve you well in your future endeavors. Enjoy your youth because it goes by quickly. All us old time trappers look upon you with envy at your youthful energy & wish we were still young so we could experience it all over again. Congratulations on a fantastic trapping season. walleyed Thank you! I'm enjoying every bit of it that I can between working. Trapping has definitely taught me the definition of hard work.

I wish you'd send some of that water down to my part of the state to fill our sloughs. Maybe this year I wish I could, even some of our sloughs this year suffered quite a bit, hoping for some rain later this spring.

I'm already gathering up my gear for next year, and making a plan to do better. The sale went well, I have a couple of things that irked me but I won't say them on here. I averaged 2.26$ on rats with a decent bit of mediums and a decent bit of slights, that's why it was so low. I would have liked to get 2.50$-2.75$ but looks like I'll have to pull them just a little tighter next year to get them out of the medium grade. Got some advice that I'm going to use. I also got 18$ a pound for that beaver and it weighed 2 pounds, so 36$ there. I ended up having 286 rats and not 285 so I guess I miscalculated. I ended up with 682$ for it all, so better than most years but I would have liked for my rats to clear 700$ by themselves. Just going to do some different stuff next year to get them to the next size up if possible.
