Gained access to some more prime muskrat areas on private property today. Didn't help with containing the excitement of waiting another three weeks for the opener.

On a sad note my Marten trip is on life support and I may miss my opportunity to go all together because of work schedule.

I have found that work often interferes with trapping. That is one reason I changed to a different delivery route, same amount of takehome and 3 hrs a day more to trap and process fur.

It will happen one day, just be sure all your ducks are in a row when the opportunity arrives.

Almost forgot 19 days left...

Retired tramp logger here. I used to quit my job when deer season started and go back to work after trapping season. :IBCOOL:

Eight more years and that "W" word will be a distant memory. Hunting, Fishing and Trapping full time, all the time!
