Why do I have one wet foot?
Somebody checking my traps
«

Well the last two days I've had someone running my rat line before I get there. Today I moved the entirline except for 3 traps. A total of 14 traps have been pulled up on the bank, Traps that were well concealed and producing over the week, the traps that were in the open and not producing were left alone. One trap was stepped on and bent up a little but repairable.
I will be calling F&W in the morning and informing them of whats going on, maybe they will put in a presense at the parking area.

You can spend time trying to catch the guy,use a trail camera if you can to record vehicles going into the parking area. Or don't waste any more time and energy and pull out. Wouldn't want to catch the guy myself because I'm not sure what I'd do if I did, so I'd pull out and move on.

So the jerk won? Some how he needs to get caught and dealt with or he'll do it to someone else. Also some other jerk may do it now too.

Iceman, I think pnwmntmn is trapping a public access area, he stated he hoped the game dept would make a presence at the parking area. So if the person checking the traps has to park in the same area possible they will see him.

Lightly bury one of those giant bearclaw traps where he has to step on the trigger to get to one of your smaller traps
