Not sure if he traps land crittters or just water types? Yes, he was running the new trap pack prototype... said he'd never run another line on foot without it again. And I'm not sure how access is granted in WY, but he made it sounds like he had to draw for access... and yes, that would be a frustrating way to plan your trapline!
Sounded like he had a blast though... quite the adventure trapping out of the ole wall tent for a few weeks!
