Boco taught me how to frost scrape and his posts were excellent for the most part. I think we need him back rather than drive him out further.

Moosetrot

He is a legend at that .

Agreed…

I take a lot of pride in my handling, and I can confidently say Boco has probably forgotten more about put up than I know…. I’ll miss him if he’s gone for good.

One of the first times I posted he challenged me. I wanted to discard raccoons I caught because I was in it for disease control and didn’t want the bother of learning to put them up. He basically told me to sharpen my skills, and I’m still trying to do so. Now I have beautiful coon pelts of my own and some to give as gifts because he made me think a little. And put forth the effort .

His banter was always good for a laugh or two and, as others have said, his fur handling, tanning, and skin sewing were impressively good. Yeah, I miss him being around.

Heck yeah! Now’s the time to practice and perfect it.

Teach me something,,,,,……. ?

Delaware Rob, I’m trying!
K Snow helps me a lot too! He gives me a lot of advice!
I got two coons that I pickled and alum tanned and they’re drying before I break em. I didn’t dry them good enough first and there were spots that still seemed wet so he said to try and wait a little longer. I threw them back in alum a couple days and washed them and put them in the spin cycle to get moisture out…( don’t tell Chuckie!!)

Now they’re back into the boards and drying much better!!

What's wrong with you two .......lol

Lots of stuff Nessy. But, I liked that rascal, hope he is well.

I hope he comes back, he has lots of trapping and fur handling knowledge.

Probably put a tariff on him for all his knowledge, so he isn’t allowed to post or something.

Dang it.

Same here.

Haha. I get the sarcasm in you two.

I would welcome James and Boco back in a second.

My old cranky neighbor that died several years ago left a big hole in my adversary list. Ole Jim helped fill that gap nicely until took his ball and went home.
I was thoroughly entertained by the way Boco so easily got under some people's skin. He is the master at that. To him it was all in good fun. Some people just don't see it.

Must have not been ALL in good fun for him. He got blowed up and left over that tariff business. I'd say his fun gouging folks backfired on him. Made him butt hurt.

How do you know that? I must of missed the post him about leaving because he was mad.

ADC, sometimes things go missing. Sometimes for no reason at all. Kinda like Hillary’s emails.

He’s a very proud Canadian and I believe the tariff thing and a small percentage of posters on here was the last straw. He’s doing his best to keep every thing he does Canadian and his $ north of the 49. Once this spat between our governments is over things will cool down and return to normal.
Like what was mentioned before, non trappers running off trappers on a trapping forum.
