At the bottom of your post there's a + sign, and it says Attachments and other options--click on that, and a box comes up that asks for a picture URL, or "Browse".  Click on Browse, and you can select pictures from your "My Pictures" on your computer.  I resize all the pics in Paint.  If your pictures are too big, you will get an error message when you try to post.

[hardkorrhunter]

Yes it is just a single drop down door.

Nice job Hardcore I have been kinda following along while you were getting info on building the traps. I will be doing the same next year.

[hardkorrhunter]

Right on turner well i cant wait to see how ya do.Its hard work trying to get the ball rolling but its well worth it the first time you see fur in one of the traps you built. And you will have plenty of time to get set up this summer thats where i fowled up and didnt get started til half way through the season but next year i will be ready to hit her hard.

[onetrapper]

the best way to get up to speed is to go to the rendevous this summer. There is always great demonstrations by expert fur handlers and trappers not to mention supplies....so join the WSTA and mark the date on your calendar. You will save alot of headache by learning the right way the first time.

[hardkorrhunter]

I have every intention of being there. I also plan on joining the wsta. Does any one know if there is a thread on the rendevous so i can get a little more info as far as what to expect, family orietated camping, rv parking that kind of good stuff.Dates locations i guess the wsta will have all that info just gotta wait to joun till im done dumping all my cash into my gas tank to check my traps every 24hrs.

[Humptulips]

The dates on the Rendezvous are set but the schedule is not at this time.
Lots of room to camp. $8.00 for a tent site, $18.00 for an RV/full hookup.
Potluck friday night and we serve 4 meals saturday and  sunday at reasonable prices. Air conditioned dining area.
