Post by: Cylvertip on December 18, 2010, 08:45:39 PM: Sorry all - nothing going :'( - since I only do this as a side business/ hobby, I am not out trying to drum up business. Most of my regulars I think are holding on to their money with the tough times right now. I'm so busy at work (and our office just moved to Hellevue in October :bash: but happy to have a good job) and three kids under 7, one of which is special needs, I would have a tough time fitting in a line right now.

It is tough not being out there though especially after the amount of critters I've put away with my little hobby the last three years.

The bears and bobcats at the bait station aren't liking it either :chuckle:

Post by: Machias on December 18, 2010, 11:07:32 PM: Nice job!! I have oogled over Yancy's photos for years. It just doesn't have the same appeal to me as laying steel in the ground does.

Post by: Hannibal on December 18, 2010, 11:14:31 PM: It does not have the appeal untill you start capturing critters,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THEN it is better the SEX,,,,,, :)

Post by: wingnuts on January 09, 2011, 04:52:03 PM: I'm new to this forum, and am a active trapper.I am sorry I have no pics of my catches so far this year, which include 5 coon,4 nutria, and 4 possum. I was only useing 3 cages. I will take pics of my new line starting tomorrow.It will consist of two colony traps,two mink/muskrat sized traps, two coon/nutria sized traps, and a bobcat/coyote sized trap. These will be set in new locations where I have not made catches yet. I hope I have enough luck to make it interesting for you all.

Post by: wingnuts on January 11, 2011, 08:20:58 PM: Well I'm one check into two mink sets and two colony traps. Will be setting a larger cage for a coon tomorrow.Will take new pics, can't seem to download from camara to SD or computer :bash:

Post by: lokidog on January 11, 2011, 08:40:06 PM: Just downloaded the trapping manual/test material today. Is the test tough? Or Is it OK if you read all 115 pages and pay attention?

Is there any money in coons? How hard are otters to trap off docks?

It is kinda hard to get started or motivated if you can't find good traps.

Post by: bak2huntn on January 11, 2011, 09:41:15 PM: I was not aware people trapped in this state ? How do I get started ? I love trapping I did for years in the Dakota's before moving here . I would love to get back in it!

Post by: Humptulips on January 11, 2011, 11:49:31 PM: Kind of late to be thinking about starting this year but if you're determined read the materials in the training manual. The WDFW site does not have the whole thing on there but I think there is enough to get by on. Study it and schedule an appointment at a Olympia to challenge the course. They'll give you the test. The only place you can do it is Olympia. Other then that the next class will probably be next summer. Once you have passed the class you can get the license. Then get the cage traps and you're good to go.

Post by: wingnuts on January 12, 2011, 08:00:29 PM: Nothing in the mink sets, and I got out a large cage baited w/mackeral for coon today.And nothing in my colony traps either. I did see a neighbor wondering around in the area I have traps set. probably just curious, did not mess with nothing.
