Well hello boys and girls
What a day! What a season!!
Good morning trapperman.

Tight chains!
Watch your top knot!
I say every fall , tha days are getting shorter, then my wife says the fur is getting primer.

Several years ago at our WTA fall convention, Leo Hoeft was giving a canine demo and Leo was down on his knees on a pile of dirt with 3-4 number 3 size traps, some coils and some double longs. He was going over several sets and guiding etc. Some one from the audience asked for another type of set or approach. Leo reached behind him without looking and put his hand squarely in a #3 double longspring. Without flinching, changing or raising his voice he swung thre trap over to his knee and opened the trap. Leo said " I guess this shows that sometimes it is good to use weak springed traps". He just kept right on doing his demo. The crowd and myself really enjoyed that incident and all of the information Leo wa willing to share.

"Is that smell you or that possum' ?"

"Coonman for President "

"I could have sworn I took the safeties off"

One of Leo's custom pack baskets sits in my office in a position of humble remembrance, Leo was a skilled trapper and a kind friend and I miss him.

Corrected the misspelling. Favorite saying of mine by the way.

Corrected the misspelling.
That's a quote I get a lot.

You smell skunk? I don't smell skunk!

“The trap makes the trapper. “

“Driving that beaver mobile, oh parked. “

“The best trapping is behind the No Trespassing sign. Because nobody goes there. “

“Even you could catch one there”

An old renegade from Montello

Not from a trapper, but from a strongman coach. "People often fail because they don't want to do the things that suck."

Another good one.

Can't catch what's not there

Can't catch em on the couch!

You can’t catch beaver til you start smelling like one, my uncle Steve’s saying.

I have to ad on
Is that smell you or that possum that crawled up you b--t?

10X- the first time I was in his furshed I probably wore diapers-In addition to my father, Leo Hoeft and Ray Hoeft are the reason I started trapping.

“I swear, a woman’s breast is the hardest rock the Almighty ever made on this earth and I can find no sign on it.”
