Kiemke some of the 90s were not very good price years, and some were.
I found these old sheets from late1990s awhile back and for giggles thought I’d post em up. Wished I’d saved his sheets from 1980s but I either didn’t or they got tossed somewhere among all the moves in my lifetime.
I used to save every trapper and predator caller mag and had clipped articles I liked and pasted them on inserts to 3-ring binders. I was pretty organized back then and a student of these guys for sure. I still have a signed copy of Charlie Dobbins land trapping book from nationals when it was in Nebraska that year, and had to be 80s I’m guessing???
Mr. June was a big influence when his stuff started hitting the market. Sorry mark, bought a lot of your lures and baits back then from local shop in Crete. I’d sell for, trade for lure and bait. Had a great symbiotic relationship with this buyer. The bank I still work at, we would close on Veterans Day so a paid bank holiday off for me. I’d skin coon for Rodger at turkey creek on that day, after running traps in morning of course. He paid 50 cents a coon and me and one other guy would see how many we could shuck in a day. I usually didn’t take the cash at end of the day would just go fill up a basket of bait and lure off of his shelf and we would trade services for goods. Loved that day but man oh man I was a younger dude and in better shape for sure. Was no skinning machines in his shop just a heavy chain gambrel and younger backs and arms to pull hides.
Anyway, rambling here. Sorry. Bernie’s pic got me all fired up. Here or some of my meager sales to roger back then. I sold about every week for some reason, I think because I needed another tank of gas or two to keep going and this was how I cash flowed my trapline, ha ha.
I did find this other one but it was from 2002. Top few lines were all put up rats.
