Supposedly Jedediah Smith caught 668 beaver in 1825. I have to say I'm a doubter though. Bet he traded for some of those with the indians!

Screen shot of your fur cheque or it didnt happen. What good is a fur check, could have bought fur from the neighbor. Pictures? Big deal, could have saved some critters from the days before. It's circular. Either you trust someone or you don't.

Just imagine……the contiguous rank stench of coon farts….that goes with 1,000 coons …

I don’t think Jedidiah Smith caught 668 beaver in 1825 using 11 traps. That’s not counting the traps that he lost when the ice was forming going lower on the mountains. Ha ha ha. I would say he had 300 Indians shooting 2 beaver a piece for him that year. Ha ha. MD Jedediah was a Christian trapper though...known as the "rocky mountain preacher". Never without his bible. A Christian wouldn't lie about their catch would they?

If I start caring about how many raccoons someone trapped please shoot me. Have you ever set up a photo shoot for 100's of critters? That is a job in itself. Time wasted for no economic return, unless you are marketing a product. Unless you are going to sell some stuff off your reputation, not good policy to advertise your harvest. IMHO.

Coon trappers seem to be a sensitive bunch. That Manly man and Dave Plunger got buthurt easy too it seems. Amazingly enough, I agree with BOCO for the 2nd time in history !!!! walleyed

Not really if you take the pics while sizing/grading/bagging fur for auction. Saving up a bunch of fur for a year end picture and missing auction deadlines to do it could actually cost you quite a bit of money.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Savell, we are going to need a documented and dated picture of all 100,000. Pictures taken by a professional photographer. Notarized and dated by a notary public. Sealed by a licensed lawyer. If you can't provide this I'll just be forced to believe all those cans went the same place as Hillary's emails. LL, thank you for the pure entertainment. I have thoroughly enjoyed this discussion
