Patient TRAPPING
Anyone who knows me knows that patience is not one of my virtues. I simply hate waiting, and not surprisingly, I also do not like to make people wait. Some people say that time is money, but I honestly think time is much more valuable than money. And even when we don’t use it, we spend it. Regardless of what we do during a single day, at the end, that day is gone forever.
On the trapline, using time wisely is an essential skill for anyone who wishes to truly be effective and efficient. We all know the importance of pre-season preparation, making fast and simple sets and knowing when to move on when the catch starts slowing down.
But if time is valuable to the trapper, it can also be used wisely. There are times when patience is a good thing. There are even times when investing hours, days or even weeks into some sets might be productive. In fact, this counter-intuitive approach — making sets that are unlikely to catch anything, at least right away — might be the ultimate approach in a few specific situations.
