Start by saying thank you for all the prayers, much needed. Don't need to go into much detail but I'm not giving up. I do appreciate a ton of people on this site, been like a family for several years. I'm going to give it one more really hard push. Did a ton of reading last night and have some good ideas. Really don't want a negative vibe around the house right now with the holidays. This should be a fun time of year for my girls, don't want it to be imotionally impacting on them to where they dreed Christmas.

I've got couple sets I'm going to check today on my way to pick my girls up from their grandpas that have a good chance of being good A person still has to live and have outs.

Thanks again

Dang that is a fatty. Some good eats there
I had a rat eaten up pretty bad one time and what looked like mink tracks around it. Ever have that happen?

Muskrat is the minks favorite food  :tup:Back in Pa we always caught mink in are rat sets ..This is a good thread ...

 As I check this thread from now on I'll be more excited about hearing some good news from home than from the trapline.

Got this guy in a #2 Bridger this morning on a dirt hole scent post.

Hard pill to take Man. Sorry to hear it. Sometimes good bye means a second chance. Best of luck to you dude. Thanks for the posts on here. It partially inspired me to get my trappers license, which I did yesterday. Keep your chin up.

I sell 90% on the taxi market:

$65-85 for reds
$165 for cross
$250 for silvers

these are taxidermy prices, not tanned just taxi skinned. Buyer also pays overnight shipping. If I sell to Nafa much less. I've been able to sell all my stuff within 24hrs. so far this season. The fox in AK are much larger than any I've seen in the lower 48 plus have very thick beautiful fur
