Nice write up Michael.

The only reason that I invited Michael to come trap with me in January, that way the coons wouldn't be stopping up my traps

Wayne ain't getting any prettier. Excellent write up.

haha! I will come be your trash man anytime brother!

And one of our instructors. Mitchell missed this picture, he was probably helping some one at the time.
Hope yall enjoyed the pictures.

What is the name of that bluegrass band?

1st 3 songs are some good ole Missouri boys that go by "The Dillards". Doug Dillard is my favorite banjo player. The last song is old hickory by the old crow medicine show. My favorite band. They're most famous for "Wagon wheel" I believe they hail from WV

great pics Dave! Thanks for sharing

Nice pics.What time of year is that-it looks like summer but everyone is dressed like its 20 below,lol.

Boco, it was in mid March. Itd be 40° in the morning and 70° in the afternoon. You'd get frostbite and sun burnt the same day lol

Good write up about your experience in Texas. I am glad you got to attend and your trip and adventure was a pleasant one.

Looking at your pictures, I just have one question and that is where you were in NE Texas because they look like the other side of the State in NW Texas.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

CH, it has been brought to my attention that it is NW Texas, the ruse is up, I ain't no good at geography, I'll correct my post. When you write a book you're bound to have a few typos

Thanks for sharing ! Very cool !

No problem, it was a great time.

I have also been recently told that Wayne is offering several oppertunites to learn from him this upcioming year. For anyone who is interested, I would call him ASAP.

Thanks for sharing!
One of my dream traplines would be a line through the Palo Duro on horseback.

It ain't too bad from a ranger. One of my most favorite places I have been on this earth. So much cool history. Quannah Parker was captured there, all sorts of artifacts have been discovered, there is still an old post that stands 10 feet tall where all the supply wagons met. Mitchell really knows the ranch well and had tons of interesting tidbits about it. I have been there 3 times, hope to get back there a few more.

Nice write up Michael and every word is true. Great bunch of guys to trap with.

Not too many days go by that I don't miss them fellers!

Great video and write up..some great trappers right there..

No kidding 10 and 10 that’s a great improvement

I’m the throw the bait lure down the hole guy as you were..not sure why about 90% of the time..
I need some schooling sure wish it was in my budget..some day I hope

Nice job
