Well, if we get to pick and choose how far to go back..... I'll opt for 45 years. Want to hit that fur boom just as it was gaining momentum with the knowledge and skills I possess today. Sure wouldn't have wasted those years going to college!


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

That would be an excellent choice .I was trying to be a trapper where that started to take place .Yes and only if I had my act together it would have been more fun and profitable .

Always took out old timers in the marsh duck hunting. The stories they told were priceless. At the end of the day we always -"we had a wee dram" for those that passed before us.

Now that I'm at that age as they were...sure wished I wrote down their excuses for not shooting.
