Been a member here for awhile now and just stumbled on this section. I haven't trapped in a couple of years now as there is no one to sell fur to anymore. I started teaching my Grandson to trap two yrs. ago and the hides are still in the freezer. 4 big beaver, some coon, fox and rats. We had a great time but need to have room in the freezer for venison too and I won't toss em'. I'll flesh em up, tan em' and sell em' that way if I have to. The memories we made together are priceless though. The mention of trapping always brings back memories of my younger days on the line and of coon hunting. Best of times was 1979 when we averaged $50 ea.for coons no matter if they was little ones or super jumbos. I'll be looking in here from time to time if you guys don't mind a new guy hanging around.
