Fast fwd to Dec 23... My daughter and i got the opportunity to set out a few canine traps on a neighbor's farm and guess what happened? laugh She connected on a flat set with Rusty's #138 lure that he gave her at the PA Rondy! Although we connected on several coons earlier in the season this the first canine catch for us setting together and the first coyote that I've taken. Red fox are pretty common where we live, but the coyote was what we were hoping for. Needles to say she was as excited as I was. Thanks again to Rusty!

I attended the PA Trappers rondy this past weekend with my wife and 2 kids. As we walked by Rusty's table he asked if my kids go trapping with me. I told him they do and he gave my son (8) and daughter (11) each a bottle of his #138 lure. laugh He told them to try his lure this season and let him know if they catch anything. What a super nice and generous guy!

They don’t come any better than Rusty in my opinion. He’s a standup guy and really wants to see kids get stared trapping. I use his bait and his lures, you won’t be disappointed in the RJ 138

Great for Rusty. And the industry.

Paul Dobbins could probably buy a new truck if he would be paid for all the 1oz bottles of lure he has given away to kids over the years. I’d imagine Rusty could too. My son still has a bottle of GL40 from the PA Convention in Washington from 2010 or so that he had Paul autograph on the lid with a sharpie. Paul just said “here, give this a try this year and let me know how it works for you”. There are a group of about 8 kids that were 10-12 years old at that time that all received a bottle of lure and some encouragement and they are all but one still trapping today.

Thanks to guys like Rusty and Paul for all they do for our trapping culture, not the least of which is passing out lure to kids who are interested enough to take it.

Very Cool!

I watched Boss Paul do the same a few years ago! (and I have no doubt he's done the same since then...)

I will add another shout out for Rusty. My son wasn’t even with me at the PA convention, but Zagger was asking about him and Rusty heard and gave me a bottle of his RJ 138 lure to bring home to him. Antony was really excited when I gave it to him, and is ready to start out catching dad with it. Big thanks to all of the vendors that hand stuff out to the kids. It really makes their day to come home with all the stuff that dad doesn’t have.
