47 Years Ago Today #8466079 09/09/25 04:44 PM 09/09/25 04:44 PM
Joined: Dec 2006 Lakeland,Minnesota B Bogmaster OP trapper
Bogmaster OP trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 Lakeland,Minnesota	September 9,1978 my wife and tied the knot. For 47 years she has put up with a trapper. For years she enjoyed her time helping at our tables at the Wisconsin convention She lived with Muskrat pelts drying while hanging from the ceiling of our hallway. She lived with me skinning beaver in the dining room. She lived with me making my beaver lure in the basement--When asked by her sister what that awful smell was--Nancy sniffed the air and said---Smells like money to me. I Have been blessed all these years with my wonderful, loving wife. Tom If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member

Bogmaster OP trapper B Joined: Dec 2006 Lakeland,Minnesota	Grouse season opened the following saturday--so I didn't want hunting season to screw up our wedding. My wife has never objected to my hunting or trapping.Though she did ask if I was going to make any money when I went to Missippi to trap beaver--and I did. If my feet aren't wet,I must not be trapping. Tom Olson MTA life member#100,also WTA life member
