Welcome to NAFEX Chad! Who is your sponsor? Also, I hope you meant next weekend and not this weekend as our trapping season doesn't start until Aug 1st. Also, if I were you, I would discuss with your sponsor about your plans for the season or sort of an outline or timeline of how you think your season will go. The reason I recommend this is if you trap a red-tail Aug 1st, you most likely will have it ready to hunt by at least Sep 1st and our squirrel and rabbit season doesn't even start until October 15th, so what will you do with the bird for a month and a half? Just something to think about!
Oh yeah, are you coming to the NC Falconers Guild picnic Sep 6th? Hope to see and meet you there!
