Well hello folks. Been a while. Haven’t touched a trap in quite a few years. But plan to make a recreational return this winter and can’t stop thinking of the sharing opportunities starlink will provide from the line.
I knew a day would come that internet would become available in my tent anywhere I chose to make camp.
The time is here. Last spring I took my new snowmobile from Nenana down the Tanana all the way to the Bering Sea. 1500 miles and I had internet the whole trip.

Again this fall I had it at hunting camp.

My intentions are to hunt and trap in Early December as well as trap during the winter.
I plan to take trapperman along with me posting from the line and camp.
Curious what seems to be to go to photo hosting site now? Or is everyone using trapperman to host photos?

Good to see you back FT. Brings back memories reading your posts some time ago. I will be waiting for your future expeditions and catches.

Thank You

I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Thanks everyone. Just some updates on my life.
I have left the tech field and have been operating my antler business as pretty much my full time job. Buying and selling as well as cutting dog chews. Chews Alaska. Cut Moose antler. I create some crafts but primarily move whole antler and supply dog chews.
Still living in Homer but operate out west off and on buying antler and hunting. And this year returning to the trapline.

Good to hear from you. That's a pretty good looking pile of bone you have there. I heard that you might have found a potential world record rack out there in your wanderings?
