Season Timing and Trapping with Boxes

Season Timing and Trapping with Boxes

Author: Trapping Today October 31, 2021 Duration: 1:19:33
This episode was recorded while live streaming on Youtube. I really enjoy the real time feedback from folks on the live stream, and the ability to answer questions on the fly. I discussed the question of when to start trapping, as well as the use of boxes on the trapline, how I use boxes on my marten/fisher trapline and design tweaks I've learned along the way. Enjoy!
