Today’s pic features a Victor #1 Long Spring trap and is one of several Blog Banner photos that pay homage to trapping. I’ve spent the last several months posting a weekly “Trapping Tuesday” item detailing trapline flashbacks dating back to 1973 but those submissions barely scratch the surface in regards to potential trapping posts.

This shot actually comes from a series of “how to” photos that I took back in 2011. That collection of pictures provided the visual accompaniment to a detailed description of making a coon set (a “set” is the specific technique and placement of a trap). That article was part of a series that I submitted during my time blogging at Heartland Outdoors covering three highly effective sets for the trapline. Perhaps someday I will revisit those postings as part of an expanded exploration of my trapping experiences.

For now, the Blog Banner pic above and some action shots from over the years below will have to suffice.

Plenty more Blog Banner pics headed your way daily along with an added bonus posting later today as we have our first submissions of 2018 for year five of our Top 5 fishing project. Good stuff, hope you’ll stop back in and talk to you later. Troy
