I don't plan to send any of my fur to auction this season so I am going to wait til they are close or at prime so I can have stuff made out of it. Seems like around here most water animals arent prime til at least December anyway so I wont throw any traps out til then. Might do some coon trapping in December but I am going to wait until at least mid January to start on cats and skunks.
I actually sold quite a few traps this last year so I am down to just 4 swim thrus (3 need some repairs) and 3 above ground traps. I was hoping to get a bunch built back in July/August but this has been one the busiest years of my life and I have had no spare time to assemble any. May have to spend some time this month and get a few more built and ready if I get a chance.
im in the same boat, haven't had time to do anything this year. Busiest summer I've had in years! It's finially starting to slow down a bit and boy do I have a lot of work todo to get ready for this season.
