So many things to unpack here. If it was worth doing I would. LLL


Im glad many people think like you Larry...you know how many moles we caught last season...we averaged $59.22 a mole and moles were almost 1/3 of our gross revenue last year.

I am glad you found your calling. This was about fur and trapping of fur. That is why I started the post. Maybe you could start a mole to millionaire thread. I would look at it after I am done working fur. Maybe a video or something?? LLL

You have never had me sling mud on you. I just do not see the relevance of you catching some moles on a finished fur thread. If you feel that you want relevance please start your own thread. Here is a great place for that thread....

By the way your Lil play on my name is pretty childish but that is all it is. laugh LLL

People who haven't put up any number of coons have no idea what it takes. I did 200 this year and was about all I could do

Well yea, "put bait here, set trap in front' or "set trap in coon trail" I think everyone is on board with that as far as know how. What hardly anyone wants to do is the 14 hour days for weeks on end like he is doing. Not to mention the prep work and marketing afterwards.

What some fail to realize is coon is the staple in the midwest. Go after 300 coyote at 30 is only $9,000. 2,000 coon at just $8 is $16,000. The check is what matters when it is all said and done.We can talk hours and put up and all of that,the $$$ is what matters.I doubt very few in the grand scheme of things done $16,000 comparing coyote to coon in the midwest.

If I was in rat land like you I would go after huge numbers of them and would be hated for that so I guess it is similar. I think that is the point. I do not try to figure out reasons not to trap what I have. After all I am a free FUR trapper. LLL

wow...childish to call someone a bozo Larry and also a lil childish to call people your pundits. At one time i am sure you were one as well, just like i have been before. I have never hated what you do bud...i have always given you credit for your hard work and catchin coon. I will stick by my statement that you aren't a wolfer. A true wolfer traps coyotes all season...that just ain't you bud. You are a cooner like dave plueger. Oh and i never once said "you don't know how to catch coyotes"...will give ya $100 cash if you can produce in one of my posts on here or iowatrapperstalk.com where i said those words.

never said you don't work hard at what you do...it is amazing how you only see anything negative i have said about ya but totally miss the praise you receive from me.

see Larry...you are a mudslinger too. that "free FUR trapper" was mud thrown right at me...so i guess we are in a dual with mud...works for me. I will be working in mud all week this week plantin traps...my work is just starting.

really do hope you do well on those coon at auction...lot of work goes into finishing that many and catchin that many.

amen...biggest catch on coon for me is 35 in one day and had em skinned by midnight...was so thankful the next day when only had 16. the most i have skinned in a 3 day period was 79 in 1998. Just don't have the desire to do it again. These guys got me whipped in about a 1/3 day of checking traps throughout the season. Happy for em.

To run a long fur line it is work, work, work...there is no other word that goes into it. Takes a committment to be away from your family and any other part of your life for a few weeks day in and day out. with a supportive family like these guys have, they can do it and they do...do it. My busy time of year is just starting this week and i will be out 10 hour plus days mon-fri and sometimes sat. i work that way from end of feb through mid december. my play time is when these guys are in their flat out work time. A man just has to have time to get away and relax a lil. That is why i haven't hit the fur hard in last 2-3 years. I do enough just to keep the fire going and then i live through the young guys i teach here and their successes and failures.
