Thanks Eddie ;D

Well, I beeen selling long enough to know that every piece of fur I got ain't the best, and it all ain't gonna bring top dollar. I try to figure on an average that I would be happy with and go from there. It exceeded my figures ;D

Nice Haul Earl, Glad you made out well on the sell...I bet somebody's not counting their money anymore ;D Great catch! one day we'll have to run a few traps together...That should be a blast... I'm bringing BRT over the mountain tomorrow he said he was hungry I'll drop he off I can't afford to fed him

Nice catch. Were the possums worth putting up?

Nice looking fur earl. The trappers, however, are a much different story.

Heck, I know I could catch many more coon than foxes, but foxes are my favorite.....i hope we can keep the coyotes in check for 20 more years(big wishes), they have been around for about that long, but never too many of them; however, more and more are being killed by hunters every year.
