Hello everybody my name is Adam Wysocki and i am a trapaholic. :oops: Now this was not a problem at first when we had season going on i just trapped until i was satisfied with what i had done in a day. Now season is over, no more coon, mink, or even the possums to deal with. With all this I am losing my SANITY trying to keep my mind off of trapping even though season is a long way away I cant fish yet (not warm enough) and no more hunting im about to die. Does anyone out there have a cure for this itch something to keep my mind off of trapping until at least the summer please help is needed!!!!!!

:blaster: Adam :gun4:

Your trapping season is completely closed? I'm just getting ready to finally put some ermine boxes out.

I try to cure the itch by getting on these forums but they just make it worse. I still have beaver trapping left and I now have me a coon dog to paly around with. I am also going to try to catch my first mink after my furs are sold. Then I have turkey hunting, catfishing, frog-gigging, and trot-lining to do. Then August shows up with squirell season. Then comes dove season, bow season, gun season, rabbit hunting, and finally TRAPPING. The outdoorsman life is great. You always have something to do or to prepare for.

Good Luck,
Zach Ellis :wink:

I dont have beaver traps and it probably is ending soon too but i plan on getting some beaver traps before next season and Kytrapper you got a good schedule going on i Here is mine coming up soon i hopfully have bass catfish and crappie fishing then some carp fishing maybe some coyote hunting in the summer (Season is open all year) then some mushroom hunting then coming up this fall squirrel opens along with dove and deer then RABBIT (my favorite hunting season and man they are good to eat) then TRAPPING so it do have a good schedule but there is too much snow right now to start it

Now is a good time to go over your traps so you are ready for nexy year. Check your chains, swivels, and make your adjustments. I know this past seaso I ended up doing this stuff at the last minute.
