Garry, your book on muskrat trapping is sitting in front of me , dated '09. Bought it for my youngest daughter. She is now a junior in college and probably the only one there that can skin a rat. Last year, when her schedule was hectic, she called to say she wished she could come home to trap for a few days to "get normal" You have passed on a wealth of info that will outlast your ability to set traps. Thanks, friend. Thank you … I guess a few people gained some knowledge from my book and that pleases me very much. I learned a long time ago, when I 5 or 6, to listen to old experienced people when it came to hunting, trapping, fishing and things they had learned on their job. As I understand they are still selling a few of them each year. If that is to be my legacy, I am proud of it. Garry-

Thought about your post all day, life stinks sometimes. I think it bothered me so much because I am near that time in my life. I hadn't set a trap in three years until this year, I have four rat traps and one coyote set out, not much, but I am trying. I wish you the very best and understand how you feel. Good luck.
