2026 marks my 50th year on the line, started with Pop at age 4 in 1976 following him behind the house, down to another woodlot, about a mile walk or so round trip, a lot for a lil tyke. Well I have out a few, very few mink set and caught a nice buck this morning, so now I can say I have trapped for 50 years or at least in 50 different years!

Hoping all y'all make an exceed this mark on your own lines. Remember its all about having fun and learning!

Mike

That's pretty cool Mike. Now that I think about it, I guess I'm about 20 years behind you.
