Looks like you are ready to go and I was really happy to see that someone is looking out for you on the fur market. With her working for you the season will be good even if you don't catch anything.

Good luck on the line ! Our season opens Saturday. Hope to get out a few traps if I have time. Depends on what this storm does this week.

Beautiful pics. Each one is interestingly majestic in it's one sorta way. I love it.

Have you tried your skinning machine yet? I dont know about you, but I think I'm gonna LOVE that thing

Question...what'ya do with the spool tops?

topdawg · October 28, 2012, 06:49:12 PM

they make great free beaver boards, but this year they will be fire wood because we are going to a oval pattern instead of round

Hope you have a successful trapping season! That's something I have never done!?!?

I had a feeling you'd say that, but when I seen the hoops I doubted myself.

They are worth more ovaled anyway, arent they?

topdawg · October 28, 2012, 10:15:50 PM

from what i have heard that at the Canada auction they are measured by computer in square inches, but they prefer them to be oval. So if the buyer wants them oval ill make them oval, and next year if they want them square ill make them...... oval lol I'm not changing no more

Heckuva set up there Jeremy!! Looks like you'll have plenty of muskrat back straps at the LBL!!

Good Luck!!

It's a good thing you have a financial advisor at your side!!

Nice! Clean, well organized. If only mine would stay that way! Good luck this year!

topdawg · November 01, 2012, 08:45:23 PM

it will stay like that for about 11 more days and then it will look like a bomb hit it till feb.

Wow, those are some cool pics. I'm guessing that this isn't just a hobby.
Also, where do you go for one of those huge smart phones your assistant is using?
Good luck - looking fwd to seeing some pics.

FinsnFur · November 13, 2012, 08:05:21 PM

Jeremy you must be rankin your fur, cause you got real quiet

topdawg · November 14, 2012, 12:29:34 AM

Just got back in the house. I ended the day with 5 coon and 26 muskrats
The 12 was opening day for our trapping season but you couldn't set a trap till lunch so I didn't get a lot of sets out .

I'm going to try to have some pics tomorrow
