XXXX,
I loved this article about alternative means for obtaining food.
Much of the information was repeat for me, as I do a lot if those things
already. I would add as a point for anyone trying to get into trapping that
unless you are in a very target rich environment, trapping has a low rate of
return. Typically, traps will catch something 1 out of 5 or 1 out of 10 times.
Either the animal misses it, or a non-target animal trips the trap. I would
recommend having multiple traps (like 6 or 12) and some snare wire around to
really take advantage of non-firearm protein gathering. Also, a 110-conibear
trap is great for many small game species and can be baited or placed in runs.
They’re also cheap and available used from old or retiring trappers. Don’t
forget a cheap crayfish trap too. Bait it with fish guts and you’ll have dinner
in no time! – JPR
