eastwood,

yep. 11 grandkids. Oldest boy is now 37. Whew, are we getting long in the tooth or what!

Sent with prayers. What a noble change. Congratulations.

Mark

I hope you will always be active in the trapping industry and I'm hoping to cross paths with you some day. Your coyote book really helped me get my legs under me and start catching coyotes some what frequently. I also emailed you some questions when i just started and you took the time to email me back with detailed answers. I really appreciated it.

As the Aussies would say "Good on yah Mark" Trapping souls can be a challenge, but worth the venture.

Mark, obedience and trusting the Lord is the best we can do. X2 on being a trapper and bonding in nature. Everytime I get my kids in the mountains i include age appropriate visual theological lessons, and worship as we rest and enjoy the beauty.

Good luck and God Bless you Mark!

Garry-

God bless and good luck. It was a privilege meeting you and Rusty at the academy. As they say you “don’t know what you don’t know” I learned a lot, and it surpassed all my expectations. I couldn’t have picked a better group of guys to spend my time with. My family will keep you in our prayers.

Mark - best wishes to you and your wife on the large and positive changes in your business and personal lives. Also, I am very impressed by your statement and testimony here about being obedient and trust. I wish you all the success with your calling.

Regarding a trapper holding a special understanding in the Lord’s Creation, I named my business Genesis Wildlife Services, Ltd. I do wildlife habitat improvement, land management, timber stand improvement, nuisance wild animal trapping, and predator management trapping and hunting. My business plan is contained in the book of Genesis.

Take care my friend.

Good for you mark.
I have a four year degree from St. Charles Borromeo seminary in Philadelphia. I didn't go on to become a priest obviously but I will never regret giving it a go to see if that life was for me. One incredible experience and very rewarding time for me. Taught grade school in a small west Phliiy parish. Met a lot of neat hard working folks.
Also got to see some great basketball between st Joe's and Villanova in late 80s.
I wish you all the best in your venture.
(and glad to hear I can still buy some widowmaker and fox frenzy in my future seasons!!!)

Jim

Big step Mark, best wishes to you.

Good luck to you and Donna in your new endeavors! Gotta make that time for family for sure ! Time is far shorter than most realize and family is important ! Wish you well !!!

Thanks Jim.
No hiccups as far as keeping the lures and baits formulating, bottled, and available to trappers. Especially since I'll have tuition due each semester
Backing off the retail end of the biz is a HUGE time saver and allows us a flexibility we haven't had in a while, what with orders shipping 6 days a week. But we are immeasurably blessed dealing with trappers and outdoorsmen as we do (great folks).
And the plan allows both Donna and I to trap together which we are excited about. We used to trap together in Michigan but because I trap away from home in Nebraska, Louisiana, Texas, etc.... Donna stays at the shop to ship orders to y'all. After June 1st, she's able to set traps again. Watch out coyotes and bobcats!

Best of luck to you and your wife, and God bless!
If you ever come trapping back in Michigan, get ahold of me! I'd love to spend a day on the line with you and see a real trapper trap! Sometimes I think I know what I'm doing, then the critters prove me wrong

DitchDiver,

Love to take ya out, but boy-o-boy I had good farms in all 3 game zones in MI, but I haven't been trapping there since 2004. I still remember opening day with my wife that year... 9 coyotes first morning as they had absolutely taken over the southern MI farms I grew up around in Fenton, Linden, Holly down to Oak Grove and Cohoctah. Had a great season in 2004. Fond memories for sure!

No problem, Mr. June. You can just run my line and I'll just take notes!
If nothing else, you and your wife come to Michigan and I'll buy you two a nice dinner. I would be happy to do so, as a thank you for all I have learned from you and all you have done for us trappers (not to mention the creation of "Fox Frenzy"). I was very happy to meet you at the Escanaba convention last year and hope to see you again.

Good luck to you Mark.

Best of luck, Mr June. God bless you and yours.

Good luck Mr. June

Wheelers, beachcomber, and HagZ,
Appreciate the encouragement.
Donna and I spent today in Dallas looking at housing options. Saturday I'll be on a high fence ranch setting traps in the brush country of south Texas. Talk about opposite ends of God's creation!!!
The Mrs. and I don't really ever have much moss growing beneath our feet!

We're getting PMs asking who carries our products and if we'll be listing them on our website after June 1st. We won't be listing them as sure enough if we do, we'll leave some out. We don't actually always know all the trap supply dealers that the bigger trapping wholesalers sell to anyway.

Short answer would be to ask whoever you order trapping supplies from if they carry the MJL products you're looking for.
