Kim's a great guy and one of the last country buyers we have around here so glad to support him some. Getting some items tanned there as well. Got a little history of M and M furs, that must of been something in its heyday. On to 400!

Will need to get a small flat bed boat for next year to reach farther into the sloughs. Have had a ball and hopefully we can keep these rats for awhile in SD! Thanks for following!

Here in SD they really run in cycles, we are very wet so we have rats, when the next drought hits they will all be gone. Took 8 years to get them back after the last drought and they are still not at the level they were before that. If we stay wet, next year will be even better!
