I am happy for Tim and Nancy to have a little more time to spend doing the things they enjoy. If the Cavens chose this business arrangement with Luke, then he must be a stand up guy and I look forward to doing business with them.
I have nothing clever to put here.

Congratulations to the Caven family. I've been a customer for over 40 years and truly value their friendship and the way they've always operated their business. Have a great time in retirement and God bless.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

He was here when I joined. congrats to them! great to see people my age still jumping into business ownership.

As requested by Mr. Dobbins,
I called MTP about 1996. A very nice lady (Nancy) talked to me and helped me pick out my first trap order. Since I didn't know squat, and I had some stupid questions, she said to hold on she would get someone to help me. A guy gets on the phone and helped me for about an half an hour at least, probably closer to an hour. His name was Tim. He answered all my stupid questions and really explained what I needed. He didn't try to sell me anything. He just helped me pick out what I thought would be good traps for just starting out in Alaska. I think I spend close to $300 on that order. Then he called me back with some more information and gave me a deal I couldn't pass up. He sent me a bunch of MB 650's and MB 750's. I went out and caught some Lynx and Coyotes immediately. My trapping friends were all worked up. How could I just start catching these critters when I didn't even know what I was doing. Where did I get all this info. I told them my friend at MTP was helping me and his name is Tim. He was really nice and they should call him. They about fell over. They already knew of Tim and Nancy, but had never taken the time to talk with them. That's when they told me he owned MTP and Nancy was his wife. I was very humbled by that.
Then I get a nice note from Nancy in the mail saying she hopes I catch lot's of stuff in Alaska and that she was the one on the phone with me. I have been a happy customer ever since she answered the phone. Thanks to Tim and Nancy for helping this trapper get started. I have tried to pass that on to others just as much as they did for me. Good luck to the new owners, those are some big shoes to fill.
My Super Wide will pull your broken down 4 stroke, up a hill backwards, with you on it!

MTP is a first class operation and so are the people who run it. I wish them nothing but the best and wish for continued success of the business. I always enjoy visiting with them at conventions.
I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!
