First time selling to him was a bit lower than expected but didnt want to drive the extra hour and the wife was not thrilled with the tent bag as a weight to hold the freezer shut. The couple kids who helped me trap were happy their coon and beaver went for ten each. So am I happy with the money?... I am happy the wife is happy the kids are excited to trap again this spring and I would rather be trapping than fishing so good enough.

I did get another farm to trap. The farmer stopped while I was setting for beaver next door to him. It ain't about the money but then again it is.

330 it is my freezer... it's her tent. Lol
Bbl... yes it is nice to find another outlet, found him in the new book the wife bought me last week it mentioned he used to buy so I googled him lol. First line 24 rats
Getting there... not happy but glad the check was good. Lol
Yumm... like I said it's not about the money. But once the trapping prep is done, sets are pulled, animals skun, experience gained, time afield appreciated, next generation interested, the money is a plus and more is better.

Just to be clear... I dont feel cheated, I will most likely sell fur there again, the market sucks right now and I am hoping my sets are plugged with fur today.
