Another great on gone!

Got an email from Ron Leggett a few days ago asking for prayers for Mr. Askins. He had undergone back surgery and was doing well but developed a staph infection.

Just got another email that Mr. Askins has passed.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Good man, trapper and innovator. I knew Pete well and visited with him many times over the years.

Sorry for your loss Louis. May his friends and family find comfort in this difficult time.

The devil's greatest trick isn't making us think he doesn't exist. It's flattering us. So we don't see..... the devil is us.

I was fortunate to be Pete's assistant instructor at the Trappers College for 13 years. His knowledge and experience was never ending. He was the design engineer for Woodstream for 30 years. There are countless components within the trapping industry he designed. Always had time to comment on a viable question and instructed countless students over the decades.
Rest in peace MR Pete!
