tis a charge of adrenalin when awaking knowing your going to check traps...
Aint that the truth. That seemed to be the only thing that got me through 6th grade was knowing that as soon as i got off the bus I could go check my lines. I think I learned the most about animals by trapping. The most pumped up I ever got was after making a set for a bobcat, In a prime looking location. After checking it everyday for a week I got dicouraged and went to move the trap. When I got there I couldnt find the trap. Looking around I noticed the length of chain on the trap was pulled tight and leading into the brush. I swear the nieghbors could hear my heart pounding.
There wasnt a cat in the trap. There was nothing except a few hairs in it. I figure I made my mistake by chaining the trap fast to the base of a scrub oak. I figure he hit the end of that chain an didnt pull out. But ah man what a thrill.
