Lefty, I think about how many people you've taught to trap. I've been to your demos where the crowd was shoulder to shoulder so I know you've influenced many for years. You've been a great mentor and I believe if you counted all of the mink that died because of your sharing your number would be even more astonishing. Thanks from all of us who you have influenced. I see your browns won again- you must be living right. Congratulations and Thanks again!

Congratulations, that represents a lot of hard work. I never kept track of the numbers of stuff I caught; I had no idea it would matter to me or anyone else. It would be nice to know.

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I should start one for my boys and give to them as they start to trap on their own.

Congratulations. You're inspiring me to start keeping a notebook. It would be really cool to know in 50 years.

Thanks for all the kind words.

I had suggested to my dad that he ride along with me when I got close. That idea got ruined by this darn virus. I was exposed to someone who had it unknowingly last Tuesday. I didn't want to risk giving it to my dad. Thankfully, so far I am fine as far as I know.

Nittany Lion,
If the prices don't improve, I won't be trapping any numbers in the future.

Ack and Don Powell,
Those are some kind words but I'm not sure I'm deserving of them. The only reason people were shoulder to shoulder in my demos is that they wanted to get a good seat for the next demo.

MChewk,
The first 25 years didn't result in many mink; just what I caught in muskrat sets. The last 15 years accounted for roughly 1500 of them.

As for 2020 in 2020, we will see. I could easily do it if I put some new sets out. Just not sure I want to with the prices.
