Yes, James did. But he's crippled and I believe it's wearing on his mind.

Wes Mattern,I think that was his name from Vermont.He long lined in the late '70's or so.Didn't Write alot but was a out of the box thinker.Disappeared when prices dropped

Hal, how are your nieces doing? Need photos!

I think we have kind of side tracked this thread. Sorry. I think the OP was asking about if those mentioned are still in the trapping business, not if they are on social media or why they aren't

Thank you. They are doing quite well, I have kept them in suspended animation. (Beauty never goes out of style.)

Thought I read Marsyada retired

What ever happened to that guy "hal"?

Hal is showing his age.
Naming dead people.

They got sick of you politicians and punks
Only reason Hals is back is for a man card

You all aint even funny to laugh at anymore.....

Name names. The politicians, punks and the ones who got sick

The name for that is fair weather fly by nighters.
Sort of like all your friends that meet you at the hotel on payday.

Well this ran off the rails.

Don't worry, me and James and Mr. Dobbins are holdin' down the fort.

Hal's not nearly as impersonal in person as he is here !

I met him in person with his lovely wife years ago at a convention, he never shook hands, never said nice or bad meeting you
just sat in his chair looking you over like he does here, LOL, his wife on the other hand was fascinated with how many wives I had and never brought one with me, always wondered if she was looking for new digs !

It's really the best way to meet him, as you don't ever need to speak with him.

There Hal is that better, I know you like lots of words about you here and there, so just catching up a bit !

Why would my friends follow me to a hotel? They don't want to see the shady things that I do there. They know better.

Just like Hal to make fun of the disabled.

I said I was too crippled up for Alaska trapping, not for the wimpy trapping in Ohio, which you can do from a wheelchair.

Here in Idaho, it may be different. Still new here, and sold all my gear in Anchorage.

Jim

Seems like a common denominator when he chimes in.
He sure likes attention
