Hope your Todo list has some more wine recipes on it Paul.
Sounds like a lot more time in the lure making shed.
Whatever you get to I hope you enjoy it to the fullest. You've certainly earned a little rest from the daily grind.

Sounds like he is going to have more time to ride herd on Trapperman. Everyone better mind their Ps and Qs or the Executioner might get a lot of exercise!

All jokes aside, Congrats Paul on this milestone. I hope it is all you are hoping it will be!

I'm only retiring my big timber company contract. I'll still work my local city contract. I've had that one for 31 years.

Thanks y'all.

So it will be that the reTIREMENT is put on hold
and here I thought you would go on a road trip and pick up Walleyed in NY and go up and visit Boco
and be the referee on the debate of who won the War of 1812-14 between those two.

Congratulations, Paul! Are you considering writing a book about your trapping career? I think it would go over well and be a great read. Please put me on the list if you decide to put pen to paper!

The thought never entered my mind. I'm not much of a writer. I'm afraid I didn't inherent that talent from dad. He could sit down and write with little effort. For me to write is an agonizing ordeal. I've tried.

Congrats, sir. You’ve earned the extra time.

I don't think there is a "last one". I've been catching beavers in the same spots over and over and over and over for 30 years. Granted the time between reinfestation has gotten longer in some sites, but some sites have not.

Congrats on your retirement Paul.
More time for conventions now.


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

Paul - Congratulations from back in the old neighborhood.
Maybe now like many semi-retired guys you will have time for some recreational trapping. Hahaha. Couldn’t resist.
I certainly hope that you will continue making lure. You must outlive me doing that and we are close in age.
Please don’t outsource lure production to China. They might send back 5 million bottles of “BrakeBlacker”.
