Hunted the Badlands this year for Mule Deer. Very Low numbers! Wasn’t wolves, but plenty of big kitty sign.

It's no wonder with some of the cheese grater looking things that you have posted before...I'm kidding, of course!

Something like 2poor ?

Trying to remember a Mn trapper that caught big catches of weasels years past. 160 does that ring a bell?

Caught it late November 2024, grade was 3x-2x select heavy BRN, sold for $74

They sent me a suitable for framing certificate and a letter of congratulations.
And yes I knew when I caught it it was a real good Beaver.

Congratulations , I got one once for a red fox that I picked up off the road .
The hide was split and I sewed it back together !
Anyway they must have liked my stitches :-)

Great pics, looks like a good season.

Interesting thread. A lot of variables in our country to consider. Career jobs v. temp jobs. Bottom line at different times in your life "fair" might be different things. People going to college might take a side job for $20 an hour with no benefits part time just to help out with bills but the same person who has graduated might not take a job in their field for under 72 Thousand a year. The biggest problem I have seen is the cost of insurance and housing. Homes that aren't worth $80 K are selling for $180 K. Almost impossible to try and live on a $20 an hour job and if somehow you can it is not likely there is anything to put away for emergencies or retirement.

I did not know FHA had top lot awards. Is it being done because of all the NAFA folks now working for FHA?
