We talk hunting, but trapping made me better

Last winter was only my third trapping season, but I learned more in that cold week than I have in some entire deer seasons. Setting cable restraints, reading subtle signs, hiking two miles daily just to find a knocked-down set or one stubborn raccoon—it forced me to slow down and really understand how animals move. Trapping sharpened my patience and totally changed how I read the woods. It’s way more technical than I expected, but also incredibly rewarding. I still love hunting, but trapping taught me a different kind of discipline. Curious how others compare the two—what’s been more valuable for you? #hunting #trapping #outdoors
