When I was a teen my Bearcat went with me. Then I used a Model 65 S&W - both are .22RF's of course.
If I went again I would get one of those J-Frame S&W 357's with the 3" barrel.

siskiyous6. I think you were thinking or mistyped. the 65 is a 357. I'm guessing you meant the model 63 a nice little J frame 22RF. The new Bearcats are nice too

Usually a S&W M63, but sometimes a NAA mini 22. Depends on the animals I expect. The NAA is fine up to fox. Coyotes and cat I don't care to get within inches to make the shot.

I carry a lightweight 308 for everything. Carry it with reduced loads for furbearers at medium ranges. Little fur damage if velocity is kept down.
Squib loads (like 2 grains of Clays and light lead bullets) for close range stuff (grouse, ptarmagin, etc., a trapped animal, if needed) and "normal" loads for any other event. Works well for me.

I carry a lightweight 308 becasue I find a lot of different shooting opportunites while out.
I carry the rifle loaded with reduced loads which work well out to 150 or so yards and don't damage the fur too much.
Squib loads (like 2 grains of clays) and a light lead bullet for birds and bigger trapped animals if needed (e.g. wolves).
"Normal" loads for any long range shots that come up.

22lr, C.I.L. 180 or my Stevens Favorite. Both have irons. Occasionally I will take a heavy rifle, but not too ofteen, as I doo most of on my brother's line after big game seeason, and besides, if we did drop a deer or moose we wouldn't be abble to finish what we were doing as far as the trapping went!
99% of the time of the time the 22 is only used to shoot stuff in snares. unless it is spring beaver time.
Then I use a variety of small CF 22's ( k hornet, 218 be, 222Rem.) that are loaded down. My kid Bro uses a 22mag for beavers.

scopes are cool, but slings 'n' irons RULE!

I carry a Ruger MKI semi auto .22 unless I am in Griz country in the fall then I carry my SKS with a 30 round clip. Trapping beaver just south of Yellowstone can get exciting.
Some people are alive only because there are laws against killing them.

I started with a little Ithaca single shot .22 lever action. Man, I killed a lot of coons, foxes and unlucky squirrels, and rabbits with that beat up little gun. My first big investment with my trapline money was a stainless Ruger Single Six, and I just can't imagine that there's a much better trapline gun out there. 'Have strung the steel in way too many years, but think I might start again this fall.

Hey yeah the 17 cal is a great gun for doing trapping i have found the in some cases you don't find and exit hole which is a plus.

I used to use a ruger mk1 & a H&R 22/22mag revolver but I think the perfect one now is a north american arms 22 , the tiny little revolver. It is as small as it gets and unless you are looking to pot the occasional coyote you jump there is no need for anything but a 22. There are some places where you might need something bigger like in Alaska but for most the 22 is perfect. Might as well go with the smallest lightest you can get...all the more room for more traps.
