Squirrel Hunter 9292, Am very happy to see a young man start trapping. I see you are from SW La., I am from the very cold state of Wi. Yesterday it was 17 below, only 4 below this morning, warming trend. But I am very familiar with SW La., have spent winters there for the last 17 years, since I retired. Sitting out this one tho. Hang around Kaplan alot, have friends in Pecan Island, Cameron, Gueydan, Ester etc. Now I know a lot of habit was destroyed with Rita, wonder what you trapping. A lot of my friends lost thier homes in Rita. Always saw a lot of otter down there and of course nutria, muskrats and even beaver. Well good luck in your trapping. Best advise I can give you is find some old trapper to show you the basics, plus skinning and streching. A good skinning job and proper streching of the fur pays dividends.
