I doubt furs will be worth anything, but we like trapping. Caught a red fox today.
I hung up the traps years ago. figured it wasn't worth it if I wasn't personally finishing furs and am not sure it would be worth it even then. Glad to hear you are still at it. Are you finishing out your furs?
Kids are sure missing out on the excitement (sometimes disappointment) of checking traps in the morning. Must get the same feeling from chasing Pokemon

That could of been but no smell,must of been the generic kind with no go.🤣😎 I may get ahold of you before season ends & run some up a tree ....coon that is.
I'd love to be mowing grass instead of shoveling snow.
Chuck decided today he doesn't like trapping anymore. We got skunked 2 days in a row and didn't even get a skunk.
We sell our furs. We've sent them to Canada and sold them at the NAFA Auction, but their last check bounced and we heard a few weeks after that that they went bankrupt.
Fisher season went out today, still have a week to get a bobcat.
Maybe tomorrow.
