Fellow Minnesota trapper Al Dietz aka madtrapper on here passed away on Sunday. Rest in peace brother trapper.

I always enjoyed conversing with Al at conventions.

So sorry to hear. My condolences go out to his family and friends.


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

Another good one gone but not forgotten. Al always took time to talk with me at conventions, meetings, and the like. He was always interested in what I was up to, how my career was going, and I think he just genuinely cared about people. Never knew him outside of trappers gatherings but can imagine he was a good person everywhere. Gonna miss my chat's with Al. Happy trapping! ScottW
