Went to TWRAs trapping class last weekend and now I've got the bug. Planning on starting to trap after deer season is done.
Anyone have any traps for sale or interested in teaching a newbie?
Thanks.

I trapped for years before the fur market went to crap, wouldn't be able to pay for my gas nowadays. It's very rewarding when you do everything right and connect. Visit trapperman.com a ton of information over there.

Im looking forward to setting a small trapline on the family farm this coming winter trapping season. There are a zillion coyotes that need to meet with an accident. There are usually some otters moving through the creek that time of year and some coons too.
Total rookie. Been watching a bunch of videos on youtube and learning a lot.
Canadian dude on TheWildNorth channel is pretty interesting.

I trapped for the first time last season. Lots of fun, and very interesting. Was able to take 3 coyotes out once I got the hang of it.

Leg hold traps
Other?
