Within state regs, when do you other folks start your trapping seasons and what are you targeting? Or, when do you start trapping and what for, specifically?

most of the seasons open before the animals are fully prime but it is nice to have some time to get your line hammered out. you just have to start pelting a few and see how they are coming along. November is a great month for everyone but lots of deer hunters out as well. My best month is December. Cats are not quiet fully prime yet but the coyote coon and fox will be looking great.
