Not interested in that nonsense anymore These days if I can catch a few critters with my kids along life is good.

Talkin' about flees . . . them beavers were probably covered, right?

My uncle's 32 Special. He loaned it to me several seasons until I could afford a centerfire of my own. The lovely and gracious Etta our first season together. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

Pulling some mink sets after an unusually large snowfall with more predicted. My friend and trapping partner. We trapped together one season as our work schedules rarely lined up but this year they did. This was taken just before a fur sale. There's 127 hanging. We ended up with 35 more before the season ended. Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.

I had a little line on the upper cuyahoga river for muskrat, coon, mink. I would get up early before school and jump in my aluminum gruman canoe to check the traps. Good times. When I read and see old pics of how it use to be makes me wish I was 40 years older. But hell that would mean I’d probably be dead now. Last edited by HeavyLoad; 01/31/19.
