A Trapper’s Breakfast

This one is my granddaughter’s (that’s why no pepper). She told me she was “extra hungry” on the line this morning. So I made her an extra large breakfast when we got back.

Bacon, eggs, scrapple and toast.



We caught a double this morning.





Ended up with three this morning.

Some beauties !

Purty foxes and the daughter, congrats.

Great catch, great pics, and a great time with a loved one.

Sorry about the scrapple, though. Life gets better

Nice haul on the foxes, looks as if she likes her food well done.

Congrats lug and to your granddaughter. That breakfast looks good. Wife had me make scrapple for Christmas morning. Turns out it wasn't that bad. Came from down your way.

Way to go!

Bacon not too crispy and ruined, scrapple is always a good choice (I’ll send you good scrapple if you need it). Even the eggs look good.

Nice job on the fox also

Somebody had the toaster set too light. I pushed them down again intending to only give a bit more time but forgot about it. I was going to make her new toast but she said she likes it like that.

That's my own venison scrapple that she helps make. She came across a small bone in it and tried blaming me. I told her it must have come from the pile of grindings she sorted through.

Yeah, definitely her pile.

What’s your venison scrapple recipe, minus the bones?

Nice fox and great trapping partner.

Good food & company and a nice haul - looks like a great way to end the year.

Here's a link to a pictorial/tutorial I did a few years ago on how I make scrapple.

Scrapple: A Pictorial/Tutorial

Never heard of scrapple

It's mostly a southeastern Pennsylvania/PA Dutch thing Airport Trapper.

And the best scrapple is made right here in Felton, Delaware.

Hughes...

Great breakfast and even better memories made on the line

Scrapple is pork including heart, liver, etc. Boiled and then ground and mixed with corn meal to make something like meat loaf. It's then sliced and fried. Common for breakfast around here, especially if there's going to be company. But not my favorite.

I read through the scrapple tutorial. Very informative.

I was a bit surprised that the pup was able to avoid the pot.

Nice catches! Never heard of scrapple.

I really like the 5 gallon pail that you use much better than those blue buckets that people talk about. Nice food too.

My dad likes scrapple.

Lug… you and that young lady are certainly putting a hurt on the critters.
I envy a guy with a good partner.

Osky

I could eat that everyday!

Nice looking fox.

Beautiful foxes!

Scrapple, Souse, and Head Cheese.
As a kid grew up eating that with the old timers in the family.
Food of the brave and will make you grow hair of the palms of your hands!

That's great Lugnut!

Our breakfast is often french toast with home made maple syrup.

Slower Delaware even has an Apple-Scrapple festival in the fall, with a scrapple queen crowned... draws local politicians like flies...(no offense Jesse V.)

No experience but I'm thinking it is pon hoss, more pudding like than scrapple...

My wifes relatives in Maryland make it all the time.

More like a meat cake.

How I make venison scrapple.

We sometimes put maple syrup on our scrapple.

Nice reddies. You sure have them dialed in. We used to have a lot more red fox in this part of eastern SD back when I was younger but somewhere the tide got flipped and the coyote came out on top.

I don't think its related but, the decline of the reddie here seemed to happen about the same time as a demise of the jackrabbit (white-tailed). If red fox are now just occasional here, jackrabbits are down right rare! Our land grant university, who's mascot is the "Jackrabbits", I guess has finally found funding to look into what has happened to this hare in our state. Other people must have noticed few-to-no jacks as well...

I live in the "fox belt" so it's always been pretty thick with them around here. Eastern coyotes started moving into the area about 12-15 years ago. I was very concerned that they would have a negative impact on he red fox population. So far that hasn't happened.

The coyote population seems to be scattered and not very dense in all those years.

I rarely target them on my home line but you'd think I'd catch a few more as incidentals in fox sets.

I've caught three coyote for the last five hundred red fox.

The Three Stooges favorite breakfast ,,, rotten eggs and burnt toast .
For those ( like me ) who don't know what scrapple is
