We picked up the last of our traps Sunday. Kind of mixed feelings about the season coming to an end. It will be nice having more time to do other things, but all I really want to do is keep trapping

We did a lot better in year 2 than last year. Learned a bunch more for next season as well. Finally figured out the otter (or a place that holds a lot of otter), ended up with 9 for the year. 7 in the last 6 weeks. Caught our first bobcat this year also. We improved a bunch with skinning, but have a lot of room for improvement, mostly with beaver. The ones we trap seem to have a lot of bite marks

My main focus this off season is to build a fur shed.......don't think my wife will make it through season 3 with me working out of the garage
