Nice catch! He's going to have some work ahead of him
in the fur shed.

One of the best line of the year.

Mac

Maybe we should all chip in to get a Jerry a new phone! That is some marten country. What do those marten do once winter and heavy snow comes? We get plenty of snow here in Alaska but maybe not as much as the high country of the Rockies!

I tried to get him a new phone. He don't want one. He daid he doesn't know how to use any other kind and he isn't willing to learn.lol

Who knows what they do...dig in i guess.lol

..jerrys gone by then..usually..once and a while he has to dig some traps out of the snow.

That's the main reason he traps early..he can't get to the spots once he snow sets In

Flip top phone. The more I know about your Jerry the more I like him!

Yalld get along just fine, beaverpeeler.lol

Cathy, are the pelts prime? Very nice adventure. I love Wyoming.

They're prime.for the most part..a few are slatey but none are blue.
We all know.a slatey hide is better than one past prime.

sounds like He's doing well ,

For blakspot.(evidently your post was deleted but)

First off..
Who do you think you are to come on a thread where I am showing trappers what hard work and determintation can do for you in the trappers world..and attempt to insult Jerry Pingley by insinuating that he can only Do what he does trapping because I work to pay for our living while he's trapping?

You'd do good not to comment on financial situations you know nothing about.

For your information..not that t's your business..Jerry Pingley not only pays all our household bills he keeps myself and himself in vehichles..he has a 2021 Nissan. Frontier ..I have a 2019 chevy silverado..PAID FOR OUTRIGHT by one MR. JERRY PINGLEY..by that I mean both vehicles are paid off..mostly from him working his butt off trapping.

I work 2 days a week for. Mr Stepp and I work 2 hrs a day for Mrs. Curry..the money I make is for ME. It is my spending money.

Jerry does not take or receive any of that money.


I don't have to work because Jerry makes more than enough through trapping....digging ramps..recycling and his job to more than take care of our household needs and my needs but I won't allow him to give me spending money.

Iwant it...I wanna buy it..I go to work and earn the money for those extra things I want.


Jerry doesnt..drink..smoke...go to sports games..or blow money gambling or on any other BS.

THATS how he is able to go trapping out of state.

He has the discipline not to blow money...alot better than me.

I earn my money because I don't feel right spending money he's made by working his butt off for things that are soley for me.

He would and has always taken care of me and my children...and he didn't have to...and still he's been able to trap.


Jerry Pingley would never live off of a woman and he'd quit trapping if he had to in order to pay the bills but he doesn't have to because he works his butt off and saves.

Any of yall could do it if you'd just set our mind to it.


So quite frankly the best thing you can do is put me on block.

That way I don't have to waste my time telling you to go get screwed again.

Jerry Pingley is by far the hardest working man I've ever known and my daddy worked himself to death..so I don't say that lightly.

I don't care what you think of me but if you think I'm gonna set by and let you malign Jerry Pingleys reputation as a hard working no nonsense man..then your crazy.

Paul I guess if ya wanna ban me it's your show but blakspot can most definitely KMA.

For the rest of you.

Jerrys catch pic from yesterday.

Darn, here I opened this 3rd page looking for more pics! I'll just wait patiently, Cathryn!

Thank you, Cathryn!

He has 87 marten sets out as of yesterday.

Good sized animals. Keep the photos coming.

I can't get over all that lovely throat bling on those marten !

And their bodies, that nice golden brown underfur with the chocolate sable guards. And black or dark faces.

Fascinating.

I am forever transfixed with marten the world over, from Jack's invaluable sharing with me, to my trapping machine friend, Trapped4ever, in Alaska , mainly.

Don't worry about self righteous big typing "fangers" like Blackspot. But I thoroughly DO completely understand the moma bear instinct to come to vigorous defense of a man well-loved.

You don't owe anyone an explanation. If they don't pay your light bill, they can become a black spot on the road from the vechile of your choice

Thanks a lot for posting! Great thread to follow. I finally got to meet Jerry at the New England trapper’s weekend. I’ve know John his brother for years but it was great to finally talk with Jerry and get to know him a little. I hope he hits his goal!

Cathryn.... I don’t see the need to explain to anyone on the internet....what you have or don’t have .

Oh but what they have is inspiring. Love, respect and hard work.
