Trap Success

Welcome back to the blog!

So far Sam and I have casually mentioned that we set traps for Blanding’s, but this week we wanted to show you the process. It was a perfect week to share with you since we had such good trap success!

Every week we have the same schedule in different locations across Lake County. Monday we set traps. We then check them first thing in the morning Tuesday – Thursday. Friday morning we pull them from the location.

Check out the vlog below to see more of our week!
