Sold fur to Groenwold today. Quite happy with results, especially for my mink. Average was $18.00 with a high of $20. Muskrats averaged $2.60 with a high of $4.00. My fisher got $40. This is the most I got for mink since 2014.

While not waders, the Dan's High N Dry briar proof bibs are absolutely amazing. Absolutely perfect for rabbit hunting. Got it for rabbit hunting, now I use it on the trap line as well. If all of their other gear is as high-quality as these bibs, you couldn't go wrong. But I would not wear them in a lot of water or duck hunting or anything like that. They are waterproof, but not "that kind" of waterproof as the seams aren't sealed.

I know you've already got what you needed, but figured I could chime in to help others.

We dug a 3' x 3' hole in the ground about 10–12 inches deep. And just turned up all of the clay (didn't remove any clay). Then we do about a half a 50 pound bag of trace minerals from TSC. And then add 5 gallons of water (no water on our property unfortunately). And then we mix up all of the mud and minerals together. And it just creates a sloppy wallow sort of thing. The deer flock to the minerals and the water. The clay holds the water for quite some time even in the SC summer. But every time we go out we will add more water and stir up everything again. And then we add the remaining 25 pounds of trace minerals later in the year. I guess it works for us because we have clay, if you had loose beach sand it probably wouldn't work because it wouldn't hold the water. But just thought I would chime in as we have truly seen a difference on our property of them hitting minerals in the spring and summer. Not only do the deer use it, but the raccoons and the possums and the birds all frequent it as well.

Just to add on, we never had any luck at all with salt blocks or mineral blocks of any sort. Don't know why! We must have some picky deer.

Is the original post regarding the cost actually serious? Serious question?

In 70s I was in NW Mo. sold to 2 different local fur buyers near Smithville Mo. don’t remember names. In 80s living on east side of state sold to Mark Morris in La Mo. when he retired started shipping to NAFA

Such an original thought. Nobody ever plays that card when something isn’t exactly as they desire it to be.

Well I took a fall out of a 35 foot tree on Wednesday, and somehow walked away without a single broken bone. As far as trapping goes, i've had my water sets out for a little over a week now and i've gotten: 2 mink 2 otter 1 beaver 1 muskrat and 1 weasel. So for me, i'm having a good week.

Love the reference! Truly think that is one of the most underrated movies of the 70s.

Fixed it for ya, Marty.

I'm still here. Spread all over Atlanta this week keeping the roads hot chasing critters.

What do you want?

We had a women go missing here a couple days after the Guthrie lady. No FBI no news coverage. Hmmmmm!
