Hello fellow trappers! I have been working with my FIL who has been trapping for about 35 yrs. and am going for my trappers licence in the next year or so. I have been going out with him for about 4 years on and off and doing most of the skinning and fleshing for all the catches. He has a trapline that produces some good martin & beaver, but the last couple of years we have been doing more 'problem trapping' than on the line. Mostly either for logging outfits having problems with beaver flooding haul roads, or trapping otter on creeks that are being restored as spawning runs for salmon. Talley so far this year:
Coon- 4 (2 off of the back porch!)
Beaver- 6
Mink- 1
Otter- 23!
Good luck and be safe out there!
Colin
