Saw a few blue buckets today but they were navy blue. Might look like black in low light.

Was I wrong to pass them up?

Navy Blue is fine.


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.

Depends on season. Nuisance vs fur trapping. Completely different

I get that everyone is joking, I've seen this "blue bucket" debate on here before, but how did this all start?
Serious question. I must have missed something or I wasn't a member when it started....


When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

Gotta be 10 or more years ago. I remember the blue bucket discussion from when I first started trapping.

Someone made some bucket set's and all he had was Blue Buckets, and did well. Became a T-man joke and took on a life of it's own. J-Trapper perhaps?

Sitting here, laughing my socks off! I saw the mention of blue and came in here all ready to make some daft comment about buckets and mink!

Now, I can't stop laughing! Absolutely brilliant! grin

Blue buckets work, for the same reasons as a restaurant blue plate special.

The problem with navy Navy navy blue, is that you catch more squids! ... just so you know.
