Remember when this time of the year, half the posts would be about fur sales and what prices the animals fetched? Been awhile.

Im a lonely never was. Wife went to see her folks and i went yote callin. I remember when the landowners didnt say “ go ahead, the guy with the thermal shot 5”. Yotes get mighty brave in the moonlight when i have a shotgun, cant imagine theyre less brave in near pitch black. It seems everyone around here is droppin several grand on thermal scopes to kill 50 dollar yotes. I remember when they were worth 5 bucks.....and those same guys didNt know what a call was. Stupid youtube...

Back in 72', just before I went on active duty, gas was .09/gal. The local stations had a gas war going. Less than a year later (while I was in SE Asia), the OPEC Arab Oil Embargo occured and gas went up.

Probably wouldn't have anything to do with thread posters

relaying the results of their fur sales on this forum,

and then getting hammered for revealing their results....

whether good, bad, or indifferent.

I remember there was a time one would be proud of what they sold their furs for, now we're all too embarrassed to brag.

There was always a whole bunch of folks that would come out of the Woodwork, especially right before the Nephi Sale.

When trolling was fishing,
sharing was bragging,
and snot mouth brats got slapped.

Can't get there from here,
but we've made progress lol.

I do miss those days when Trapper Talk was dominated by trappers talking about trapping. The most memorable and entertaining threads were the ones where fur marketing was being discussed/debated.
