Naw, the man had his own Jackson Hole Rondezvous! Either ran out of freezer space or some trap thief stole the last of his rat traps!

Nice job, Gary. Hopefully you will be able to go back next year and the greed that absorbed SD won't work its way into ND.

I brought all my gear home. We might be able to go back In the fall but I bet that will be the end of It.

It's funny on how you take on the smell of what your putting up. I'm sure glad I don't do coyotes or skunks LOL.
Yep saved over 2 gallons of glands. Anyone interested? Price Is negotiable.

Welcome home Beav. The fact that you lugged all your gear home indicates to me that you are not too hopeful regarding long term NR rights in ND either. You made the decision to invest the tme and effort into the SD and ND rat trapping. I chose to stay here and work for an additional year. You made a good choice and I am glad you are home, safe and willing to share your adventure with your fellow trappers.
I have not talked with Mike lately and will do so soon to see how he did as well.

Ray Charles could catch rats where I trapped. I had traps set for over a month In the same locations and they just kept catching rats. I think they must have been lined up in the cattails just waiting for me to empty the traps.
If all goes well we will have around 2700 rats on this may's sale.

How do you manage that with the receiving dates what they are? |

Muskrats are graded in the US Paul.
Being as they are the date can be pushed back a couple weeks. Only caveat is the trapper will be responsible for shipping.

Last receiving dates are not exactly what is posted. FHA picked up some fur for me on Apr. 14 and that was two weeks later than posted also. Jim |
