Sold Fur to Don Wolf in Evansville - 01/15/20 03:34 AM
I am a Judge Executive in Western Kentucky; while trapping has been my favorite and most passionate hobby for many years, I don't have much time to trap anymore. I have a grandson that is eight; we enjoy hunting, fishing and camping together. I figured that during his Christmas break, I would take him to set out his first short trapline. We caught:mink, muskrat, coon, beaver and he also caught a nice male bobcat. As I suspected, he loved trapping!
Because of my work schedule, I didn't have time to skin and put up our catch, so I decided I would take them to Mr. Wolf. in Evansville, IN. (For years, I have seen his name on Trapperman.)
We didn't have many skins to sell but I wanted my grandson to be in on that part of the process. My grandson, a friend and I arrived late this evening and took our furs into the building where Mr. Wolf was working. He was personal, friendly and most of all genuinely interested in a boy that was learning to trap. He took plenty of time to talk to my grandson and ask him questions about his trapping experience. Considering the fur market, I was pleasantly surprised at what he paid for our furs.
I had not met Mr. Wolf before, but before I left - I felt like that he is one of those legendary people that has done his part for a meaningful way of life, that many of us hold very dear.
Thank you Mr. Wolf for your investment in a child and for your investment in trapping.
Best wishes for a wonderful 2020 and beyond!
