What ya catchin and how ya been???seems we only hear from ya when your havin to babysit anymore.lets hear about the REAL you.

Doing what I've been doing for the last 27 years. I just signed a new contract for another year of beaver'n. I drive between 200 and 300 miles a day checking beaver traps. The old Tacoma has 633,000+ miles on her now and is still going. When I get home, I spend most evenings in the lure shed working.

Doing well, enjoying life.

Glad to hear the boss is doing good,pcr2 your such a suckup.

He's trying to get rid of that nickname, lol.

Bringing in that Castor Gold!

And needing more. My beaver'n gets me less than 10% of what I need.

and don't you try and keep the castor pretty much local??

Yeah, he;s not after that good smellin' , high dollar northern stuff from up here, that he likes so much, lol.

I use southern castor - VA, NC, SC, GA, AL, LA, AR, MS, TN. Anywhere where they aren't eating aspen.

i can see millions of popal out the window so i'm out.looked at a big chest freezer full of dry at my buddies.been storin it as a savings plan for years.now he HAS quit buyin and will probably be moving it.i'd be suprised if one of those other 13 chest freezers doesn't have some he's forgotten about.

That is amazing. Toyota should have you do an advertisement for them.

Does the aspen make them smell different?

Yes. The diet determines the odor of the castor.

If you ever smelled castor from North Dakota bvr that only have cattails and a few scrub trees you will appreciate aspen bvr castor which smells sweet. The North Dakota castor smells like sewer. i couldnt believe it but kept it seperate. Dont know if i will ever use it, possibly.

Remember Shotgun Red on the Barbara Mandrell show?????? "Miss Mandrell! Miss Mandrell!"

Hey Paul,how about doing a ride along on your line,like you did a while back?
Would love to see your trapping country again.

Here was the ride along 8 years ago - https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthr...age-day-on-my-line-pic-heavy#Post1749150

I may do this again if I can remember to do it. I'm still trapping the same tracts that I did back then.
