1st Time Trapping Questions
« on: November 13, 2020, 05:01:08 AM »
Hello:

Just got my Trappers License and I am looking for websites and resources to help with trapping supplies , trap tags, cages, and information for stuff I should purchase before I start trapping. Does any one have any good websites and resources that would help out a first time trapper for what to buy. Thank you!

The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

For cages your best outlet is here as there’s a few trap builders on this forum Bruce “ Humptulips” builds beaver and cat traps
For lure,trap tags and trapping specific F/T is probably your best source
What are you going to be targeting? Then we can help fill the blanks in for lure to use and bait and trap setup

I am targeting Fox, Bobcat and Coyote.

How do I get in contact with Bruce "Humptulips" for a cage?

Thank for F/T trapping supply. I will check it out


Thank you for the help everyone. I wanted to get started right with the right equipment.

I sent you a private message.
Definitely bobcats are doable, I think fox although I have no personal experience with them . I would urge you to forget about coyote. It is an exercise in frustration trying to cage trap one of them.
