A nice pile of put up coons is one of my favorite things in the world.

Looking good. "Success comes before work only in the dictionary". Snowing heavy up here now but we are due. Very cold temperatures to follow.

I have long lined since 2009. These pics are from that time to last season. I believe I hit a lick at NAFA in 2013 that I averaged 51.00 to as low as -7.00 when they sent me a bad check a couple years ago and my bank charged me a fee. I have sold over 16 thousand coon in that period of time that I have recorded and paid taxes on. LLL

LL, as I look at the snow out my office window in Des Moines, those pics bring a great big smile. Some day I would like to share a pot of coffee and here the stories. Who taught trappers in SW Iowa how to trap mink? Several of you in that area that can pile up the mink.

Bud Hall taught my mentor the late Gene Purdy as well as Ron Hanson. We have less of a population than Northern IA here or there would be even bigger piles. LLL

Thanks for sharing. You are one of the greats. The logistics and time management have to be so exact to make a one man system as yours work. I know of one other man who catches the numbers you do but he does not finish them. Throws them in a pile and a buyer picks them up every day.

Great photos, those were great days back then. Most will never know what it’s like to work that hard and enjoy it.
