A 2.50 bottle of lure to catch 20 dollar coon, my how times have changed. Our path's somehow never crossed so i never got the chance to meet him. Had his books too and learned alot from him. Sad we are losing not just good trappers but so many men of integrity. Mo Fenner, Jepson, Slim and now Russ. All the great one's of our past are fading away quickly. RIP Not my circus, not my clowns.

RIP Im not 100% sure but think I was paying 1.25 for his lures at one time. Great man, great lures. I met him a couple times and wish I could have rode with him just one day in the 70s, would've knocked years off my learning curve.
