J.Morse trapper J Joined: May 2013 Northern Michigan	Originally Posted by swamp Jack Vanhoose in Greenville, MI. Early 80's, absolutely loved going to that place. I can almost smell it now as I think about it. He was a character and fun to talk to. He seen a lot of country in his day. Sold a ton of coon later to Gunner's Trading Post in Indiana. Can't remember his name, but he was always very fair. I sold a pile of fur to Jack myself! Later on, I moved to where I live now, and Jack had a cottage on a canal off Houghton Lake's west shore.....he'd let me fish specs there in the spring when they run up into the canal to find warm water after ice-out. I don't remember if I sold my very first fur to Jack, if not him, then Ken Webb in Stanton. This would have been in the late '60's.

Used to be able to get $30 for a big raccoon in the round. Kid you not. Usually would be several different buyers present. Some of the other Ozarks guy might remember. Honor a Soldier. Be the kind of American worth fighting for.
