Do you folks realize what a gift to trappers these men are? I know sometimes you just want reach into the screen and choke them, but they are priceless. Their combined knowledge and willingness to share it is truly astounding. Not many years ago a old trapper wouldn’t tell you anything but with the internet enabling us all to interact that has changed. We all owe these gentleman and many others a note of thanks. No matter how much they sometimes irritate me I still am grateful to have them on this site. Remember if we knew as much as they do we might be hard to live with too. Thank you all!

I’ll agree with that, the depth of their knowledge is hard to phantom.

Agreed...Appreciate their posts and both have replied when I asked questions pertaining to beaver trapping. Ignore their advice at your own peril.

Good trappers they are. I've enjoyed following Boco on his trapline. And appreciate the techniques he's explained.

I've got some old VHS tapes that show the Beav and Al Hand putting up fur for the trapper education program here in Wisconsin. Deep down inside the Beav really does have a soft spot for the kids. He just doesn't let that show too often.

Both of them have knowledge gained over the course of many years and both are a great resource to tap into.

I never realized they were a couple. Kind of explains their bickering though.

Boco is my go to guy for Marten and beaver questions. If he ever wanted to experience the delta he’s welcome at my camp. Keep him busy skinning and frost scraping mink all winter.
