He didnt hit 60 this year. got pretty close. I am not sure exactly. Took this picture in his drying room this morning. He was putting more up and had a pretty good bunch done

Awesomeness

Nice. I like to have the option of hanging them upside down like that.

Nice catch!

Excellent job

Thats a nice collection of fur.

Derek is a h3ll of a trapper an a good fella to shoot the breeze with. Nicely done

I'd like to meet the man and pick his brain about trapping Ks cats sometime

Very impressive

Nice

I will mention that to him Seth

Thanks

Very nice catch!

Yes sir I think we should start having a Kansas Tman get together and I’ll donate our lodge and all the beef to feed us. Nothing fancy just a night of sitting around and talking trapping.

Becareful what you say I might take you seriously. That would be a good time. I would enjoy that. I've got to meet several guys from here in the last year and have really enjoyed meeting each one. There's a few I'm still looking forward to including yourself Brad. Couple I've corresponded with on here about deer hunting I'd enjoy meeting in person too.

I’m all in. We just need to pick a time and get it done. Not trying to hijack the thread.

I would likely show up.

You would only have to get to Marion if you wanted to ride with me Danny

I'm in

Danny how many traps does Derek run to catch those numbers? I know nothing of prairie trapping cats.

He told me he had about 65 sets out since Jan 1. He's not trapping prairie. This part of KS has a lot of timber , creek bottoms and hedge rows
