For this 2017 Resolution, I boldly offered up the following:

“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…”

While the original trapping blowout project did not materialize due to time constraints and a desire to do some further research, an abbreviated version continues with the weekly “Trapping Tuesday” pictures and postings which will run through the end of the month.

I’m going to have to give myself a thumbs up on this one, however. After all, the Tuesday blog (and Facebook) entries do indeed qualify as a “multipart series.” Nowhere near the collection of parts anticipated but a shout out to trapping to say the least. Heavy on nostalgia and family but those things are as important as any catches.

All told, the “Trapping Tuesday” posts will cover 13 weeks and feature over three dozen photos spanning 45 years on the trapline. A pretty solid look at three generations enjoying an often overlooked and less glamorous outdoor pastime when compared to the big business of hunting and fishing pursuits. But even 13 posts only scratch the surface when looking back over decades of stories and photos. Perhaps another time…

   

  

More Resolution results on the way, hope you’ll tune in for these brief bits of Cabin Fever relief. Talk to you later. Troy
