Looking forward to your photo MNEric. To bad we got off topic.

Great thread. What happened to Rick Olson?

I have walked to the garage 4 times and the mailbox once. That is enough for me today!

I know the same guy and bought out all his traps! He had a pile of them and I gave a fellow member one of his #14 jumps with his trap tag from CO still attached.

He retired and already outgrew his XL coveralls...Hahaha!

Just messing Rob

I am perfectly content being in the house right now listening to the trees snap off and the wind trying to blow my roof into Wisconsin.

I had a couple dozen of his traps too. I'm sure if I dig around enough I may still have a tag or 2

You did not get them all from J.R., since I bought a 4 1/2 Newhouse from him a few years ago complete with chain, clip and drag. He brought about 4 or 5 with him, but I only wanted one at the time. He just posted this morning on a local community forum about the first incidental catch being brought to his attention this year.

Ran into a non resident hound hunter on Wednesday. He said he's giving up for the year, his dogs can't handle the snow.

MNMAN, you are correct. I believe I spent about $2500 when I was at his house and couldn't afford the 4 1/2's. I do remember that the day that worked for me to meet him was February 14th and the ex was NOT happy about it! It all worked out in the end.

Funny, you would have thought she would have been thrilled to receive $2500.00 worth of traps for Valentine's Day.

Guy can’t love a woman any more than that except maybe getting here a new fleshing knife thrown in the deal.

I would prefer to keep the late season but that is purely selfish reasons as I am still to busy in November to take the time to go up North. I don't know what the DNR's harvest goals are but I would say keep the late season but add more time to it so we could trap around the weather, assuming the populations of Fisher and Marten could handle it, with the low prices and declining trapper numbers I don't see why it would be an issue.

I drove 200 miles to trap and a couple years ago got caught in blizzard pileup on 35 E Deep snow basically made this a no season by all reports .A lost season is one less to experience.So your tanned fisher is a reason to accept the late season? I doubt you have to even watch your bobber.

Suck it up buttercup. We get a little weather and people want the season changed. Want to do good - get the DNR to get rid of the ridiculous daily check on snares

Now we're talking sense.

I know his name too but I wouldn’t post it either he doesn’t deserve the attention. He started all that because of his own stupidity.

I prefer to catch stuff but maybe walking in three feet of snow and not is better? You’ll always have weather but the later generally worse. Dailey check ain’t going anywhere unfortunately.

Not sure what you mean by that, I have no one else watching my bobber. My point was mind you're own business. Witch years I trap is my business not yours. Do you also prefer your hides to be blue?

Can someone tell me whats up with the 220 guy who sends in the letters to outdoor news? PM me if that's better.

I don't see why we couldn't get a longer season. Lets be honest, we're basically trophy trapping with these small limits, why not have a longer season and either lower the limits or keep them the same provided the resource can sustain it.
