Anyone else here ever run a trap line? I used to run one back in H.S. to make money. Thinking about starting up again.

Personally I find leg holds cruel in that they can cause great suffering. I hold that any mature human wants to minimize suffering. Conibears on the other hand, if set right kill quick.

Yep, I've done it, but I found it to be more trouble than its worth. I used to catch coons, possums, muskrat, mink, and fox. There aren't any auctions around here anymore. I've got about 100 steel traps and 15 stretchers.

A buddy left behind a box of new snares. So I got a few dozen it looks like. This guy I know would trap muskrats in the swamp behind my house. I used to find piles of the carcasses. You go out there and its just waterways and cattails. So many muskrats and ducks. If i was to ever lay a line I'd check it religiously, I hate the idea of abandoned lines or animals suffering excessively. But at least I got a bunch ready if things get dire..

We got a lot of coyotes but they seem to mostly have mange. What are the prices for rabbits and coons like? Beavers have been growing in population around here too.
