I'll start fur beavers on or about the 15th oct.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I think getting excited is a thing of the past for me.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Still peeping my traps and scouting locations. This year already has promise but I don't what it promises. Lol. Montgomery fur company got a healthy deposit from me last Saturday. I still had to order a j hook tool online from them . now Im broke!
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

I'm envious, guys. If my ankle is in place, I may try for a few fox and marten off the road system. If I can face the idea of theft and sabotage again.

Got a lot to do yet but I am pumped. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I am hoping to squeeze in a couple weekend lines on the bits of permission that I have left. All my trapping gear is in storage from the move and my mother in law is not going to allow fur handling at her house so not sure how I'm going to deal with that LOL.
My main concern this year is to get the kids out for a couple muskrat, at least one beaver and a coon or 2
Just happy to be here.

Hutchy not to be a party pooper but with marten at 20 dollars it is a little hard to get excited. Well at least when where was another ZERO in the equation it was much better. But who can remember back 4 years. Back then 100 rats was a nice mud motor purchase for the jon boat, sure glad I made the investment then and not now, cause it is costing 400 rats in todays standards. Ya, I can see how its tough when you know what the fur is actually worth.. Heck, I haven't been trapping for near as long as some of you, but even ten years ago when I started I remember an otter, fox, fisher or marten was almost guaranteed 75-100 bucks. As such, combined with the fact that I have about two months of trips planned this winter, I am focusing on efficiency, and trapping hard for a shorter period of time, as opposed to letting a few traps sit and checking more.
