Like alot on here coming up in the fur boom era his was probably some of the first lure's i bought, always loved his coon #2. 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

Rest in Peace Russ.

I met Russ when Ivan White asked me to deliver some glands to him. Ivans idea of "some glands ", was more like a lot and they were thawing and growing in the June heat! They were original ! RIP

Another great trapper gone, RIP Russ. You will be missed. Prayer for the family.

RIP MR. CARMEN your K-9 call was the best of the best bar none! Your books and lure made me a much better trapper.
