I have a good friend who has mentored me for years while I was commercial fishing.he is 84 and can't get around like he used to.the other day I told him I was going to try and order some more traps and he said I could have his. I picked them up today 10 Newhouse #11 five number ones and eleven 110s. one of the footholds will be my sons first foothold trap as my friend is basically a grandpa to him. At least one will get hung up with the wall hangers and the rest are going to work to catch some fur!

That's fantastic! Hope he can get out for a ride along on a check or two.


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

I plan on taking him if it will stay dry enough to get the truck back there. If not I plan to tan something I catch in one of his traps as a thank you

Awesome

I have about a doz that were given to me by an old man who was a great friend. He was 84 when Covid got him in Nov of 2020.
He helped me catch my first coyote, met all the requirements of a "wolfer"
