bblwi trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 East-Central Wisconsin	Ihad a good tech college teaching friend that took 4 trips to Montana to finally get his really nice big 6 by 6 bull elk. That elk cost him over 200K as he needed to build a bigger house to put the mount up! This was in the late 19902s when you could get a pretty nice house in WI for 200K. I am different then he is. I caught a 50.5 inch 32Ls. muskie and mounted that and put it in my basement. we each make different choices in life. Bryce

TheCarpenter trapper T Joined: Apr 2025 Nova Scotia	Originally Posted by Bruce T Start once I'm back to work in just 19 days. Man dear alive Bruce. What a lifetime of adventure and achievement. I'd love to hear some of the stories from these sometime. I'm brand new to trapping and only a couple years into hunting (just one small buck so far, I rarely stand hunt over bait I still hunt and passed on a doe last year) but it's all I want to do anymore. Thanks for sharing this picture. Carpenter
