Okay, folks, there’s a fine line between ambitious and foolish.

So, I already used “Stupid Stunt” for an earlier Resolution but have mulled over that same sentiment for what I am about to announce here.

To coincide with the beginning of trapping season in November I am going to kick off a multipart series of blog postings that I collectively refer to as “Traplines.”   And when I say “multipart series”, you don’t even know…

Actually, I’m not even 100% sure about this beast as it has went through a few different incarnations since the first words were put to paper back on August 20, 2015.  Yep, this thing is gonna be over two years in the making as far as constructing the collection of pics and postings.  But more accurately it is several lifetimes on the trapline in the making from a group you will meet along the way.

Looking back at my blogging efforts at my last gig, I counted 31 trapping postings submitted over the past five years with the bulk of the articles appearing in 2011 and 2012.  Thus I feel it is high time to give this pursuit a shout out as it kind of flies under the radar when it comes to outdoor activities.  In addition, my dad announced his retirement from trapping after giving it one more go last season which also means that it’s time to take a well-deserved look some tips, techniques and tales (a few taller than others) from the trapline.

While this project is still many months from kickoff, I’m gonna need plenty of that time to get it just right as best I can.  And what better method of commitment than the risk of public humiliation should I fail to come through.  Then again, it’s quite likely that I’m the only one keeping score.

And with that, I now wrap up the Resolutions and start playing catch up on some fishing reports and other recent outdoor activities.  Talk to you later.  Troy
