Only consolation is the brand-new cabin Mike and I built is in good hands. He is enjoying it now, and hopefully for years to come. I do miss my line in The Bay terribly, though. Stay safe, my friend, and may you have a great king season after this bumper trapping season! Oh no ! Hate hearing that. Had no idea, bud. Quite the struggle. Honor a Soldier. Be the kind of American worth fighting for.

Many States required a trapper to obtain permission from the property owner who owns the ground of the right of way. State uses the property to build a road on it but normally a private individual owns the ground under the road. Even the culvert or bridge within the ROW can be a bone of contention because the County most often owns it. So in Michigan the State uses the ground for a road but the ground is/can be owned by a private citizen and then the culvert/bridge that is on the private property and under the road is owned by the County!!

Trappers will need to start earlier next year securing permission from Farmers and Ranchers. Prices will Bring some guys out to trap that have not trapped in 12 years. A guy can carry and run a lot 1 1/2 Long springs 110’s and 120’s if they can keep the coons out of them.

Seems like he posted a photo of himself with the back of his pickup stacked with cases of Duke 1.5” but I don’t remember how he did with the mink?

You are also seeing drought him a lot of the Midwest. The numbers of mink produced right now are so small dealers need to ban together to even have a decent order filled.Only trappers can find something bad about a good market while complaining about a bad market. LOL One ol' timer who trapped a lot of mink back in the day says we don't have the mink due to no one trapping them. Seems backwards but he claims mink population does better under pressure. Since no one has been trapping them the numbers have dropped. Judging buy some of his old photos I would think he knows what he's talking about. Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.
