I learn a few other important things. 1) single spring 330 still hurts a lot 2) the triangle blade first cut knives aren't for skinning the point goes right thru a rubber glove to your finger bone 3)freezer is never big enough 4)either gloves or waders leak every time so your going to be wet and cold either way.

Looks just like Grade A.... Nice light color. Thanks to Muskrat for his tutelage and bringing you into the fold. This is really what this site is about!

Keep your boots dry and your powder too. I remember when a fur check was reality.....now I'm just trapping for the love of it. Best Regards, JT
