When a beaver set connects

When that reel starts screaming....

A pint in yer fist and a Wench on yer knee.

Jack You have often added your knowledge and ability to this forum Your outdoor skills along with your insight have made Trapperman a source of to learn and see the wonders of nature This post as certainly gotten the attention of many others that visit and enjoy llife in the outdoors .Trappers are portrayed as mean, cruel. and heartless because of the fact that they trap . I fel the opposite is true I find most trappers to be very knowledgeable, smart, observant ,often some of the best people you could ever hope to call a fiend Great post and some very good observations by those that responded

Watching my wife sleep, so peaceful and beautiful.
Having my wife and kids saying I love you, my family didn't do that.
Secretly paying for a veterans meal.
Seeing the hunting cabin full of tired hungry hunters.
Pulling into Pine Acres Bear camp in Ontario.
Seeing the hint of a black bear coming in.
Hearing death moans.
The smile on the grand-kids faces when they have a successful hunt.
Hearing my grandson state: That is beautiful as we watch the sunrise from the stand.
Hearing an arrow hit home.
The smell of spent powder.

Hearing kids laugh as they play.
A hit that dang near pulls the rod out of your hands.
Picking garden produce for supper.
Campfire smoke.

A child’s laughter.

Short term memory loss......

The threshold hum of my gpx4500.
The sound of a wide disseminated signal
The silence of a power outage

Natural or liquor induced?

What???

Thanks for the note, west 151. Everything I put on this website is an attempt to educate, not pontificate or preach.
As trappers, I believe the better informed or educated we are, the longer we'll be trapping. I hope that's many, many years in the future. I try to learn a bit as well with every post.

Sound of the evening whipowill. Smell of a cedar log on an open fire.


Savell you get into the wife's cooler? That don't look like your regular unleaded stuff.

Eating ripe berries right off the tree or bush is pretty pleasurable too.

First sip of coffee in the morning

The feeling of your sleeping bag as it warms after you first crawl in

The perfect cast to a rising trout

The first glimpse of a shed elk antler as you hike in the spring

The sound of rain on a tent
