Made a hard decision to finally clean out decades of treasures from my fur shed. Have traps from the 60’s when I trapped muskrats before school, 70’s and eighties when I thought you weren’t a coon trapper unless you were in water, 90’s and early 2000’s when I learned land coon were bigger and dryer and beaver were fun. Also you catch a ton of possums when land trapping coons. Next came dog proofs along with some coyotes traps. The result is a trailer full of a variety of different traps heading to the NTA. Still have to try to price everything. If anyone has a good idea of were I should start message me. One of the memories was triggered when I looked in an old box and came across a #4,3 and 1 1/2 longs ring and number 2
coil spring Pioneer. They were part of a grubstake (remember those) I won. Ludy Sheda donated them. Most unusable trap I ever saw. They are junk traps that were never used. wonder if they
have any collector value. Anyway hope to see some of you at the NTA. Look in the tailgater area for a big guy with a red dodge pickup, white enclosed trailer, and a bunch of traps and other trapping treasures.

J, I remember I GAVE YOU THAT STERLING! lol
Joe, We are getting to that age when a good clean out might be a move in the right direction.
I just got two large barrels that I poured several milk crates of traps into to save some space....and I need more barrels.
