Trapping Wife

My husband has a trapping license. We also currently live smack dab in the middle of town in a little 1200 square foot house with a carport that serves as a skinning shack/shop/storage room. This year we have been pretty active trapping and have friends that drop off coyotes and critters for us to skin. A couple days back, I decided to make a list of 10 odd things that come with having a trapper as a husband.

1) Your chores for the day may include hanging washed coyotes to drip off.

2) You might end up washing door handles and light switches daily because your husband leaves a blood trail.

3) You may come into the bathroom and have anything in the tub. Whether it's a fisher thawing out or a wolf soaking.

4) Your laundry room or living room could possibly have things thawing or drying at any moment.

5) You believe in air freshners. A lot of air freshners.

6) Your sewing may include hides on a stretcher.

7) You may walk out into the carport and see a carcass hanging at any time of the day.

8) Your town run may include dropping off furs/skulls.

9) Your husband may ask you to wash the truck cause blood is hard on the paint.

10) You end up warning people that there might be dead things in the carport/house so don't be alarmed.
