I have had between 30 and 100 traps out since nov 15.  Ive only had 3 weeks off from my regular job which means i get up at 4am and finish puttin fur up in the evenings about 10-11pm.....then do it all again....
Have caught and put up about 300 critters this year.....

well Newt---you know the answers to those q's but ill answer them anyway---i eat in the truck---and I dont think i have slept since nov 14th...LOL

I bet i didnt mug'em as bad as you have----how has your season been??  If I could find otter like the coon i could quit my day job.  I only touched the coon in my area---i was just trappin them for fun till i started on the other stuff----if the prices of coon come up im really gonna chase them.
