What are you doing to improve your line this year? What I am doing this year is
SCOUTING. I am going to scout for what I am primarily trapping and what I will trap if the primary plan FAILS. I will be going for muskrats most likely but am unsure at this point and I won't be positive until I can scout in October. ORGANIZATION. I am building crates for traps and supplies. They will be stackable and will hold 50 Duke 1.5 coils a piece. I also have 50 cables in each crate. I will have my stakes bundled in 50s as well (both lathe and rebar.) I am also going to switch from my current vehicle (Tahoe) to a more trapline friendly one, likely a smaller truck like a 1500 or something. I realized last season that I wasted too much time due to my vehicle and being 100% unorganized in every fashion. Preperarion. I will be prepared before season, I will have my bait cut and ready, traps tagged and all the little things that would waste my time on the line. Reading. I've been spending my free time reading trapping stuff online to keep my mind focused on trapping and have it on my conscious more often.
SHARE PICS OF YOUR PREP. I won't be able to share pics of my prep until the begining of August when I get back home.

I usually wait to the last minute. Its a bad habit. I would like to go get more permission if I can.

I am trying to build a trapping shed 8'x16'. I got a good start, but my wife ended up in the ICU seriously ill and I had to stop my construction. She's doing better and out of the ICU and as soon as she gets home. I'll get busy again.
