Trapline Partners
« on: December 05, 2011, 05:08:05 AM »
I have to say it is nice to have a partner along to share and make life long memories on the trapline. I hope everyone else that has a partner knows he or she has your back. Great trapping put some furs on the boards.

You are right on.  I especially like to have one of my boys along when its time to pack the cages in or out or when we make a catch. Why is it the biggest, heaviest beaver is at the very bottom of the hill, farthest away from the truck?

I like a partner at the end of the day, you know when your out in the skinning shed.  But trapping, just like archery, to me at least, is a solitary endeavor.  I don't like or enjoy company on my trapline.  I am real finicky....or I should say I used to be real finicky about scent on a trapline.  It would be fun to have someone to discuss sets and to BS with while skinning, but I like to be out there alone.  Maybe I'm just anti-social that way.  :)

I think that is part of what draws folks to trapping is the solitary endeavor.

I've never had a partner. Quite a few ride alongs but not a real partner. I think I prefer it that way. Nice to have someone to BS about the day or bouce things off in the evenings. Also I can see someone for a partner to help you out if you get sick or brokedown but I would think it would be better if you went seperate ways during the day.
Used to do like that with my Dad. We each had our lines but helped each other when needed in the skinning shed or with problems. Once I came down with appendicitis and he picked up my line for me.
Sometimes wondered what I would do when out of state and something bad happened. I keep a log book for my traps but who to pick them up?Hasn't happened yet though.
