That's a great picture. Lots of effort and great reward in the pic.

What size trap do you use for the deer and elk?

Have not been around raw furs since my childhood. I am curious what the expected financial haul is for your stack of furs? I know it depends on the quality and current pricing but not sure what it pays to trap anymore. My grandfather was a raw fur buyer on the East Coast for many years including the Depression years. He worked for a major firm in Boston. I have some of his records of buying and pricing in the early 1900's. My Dad trapped for some years along the Connecticut River, mainly muskrat and occasionally a mink. He was always excited when he got a mink because of the huge difference in prices between the two species.

Looks like you need a longer fence.

Great job! Speaking of jobs, do you have one?

I have shrunk my line considerably because it's too hard for me to do both.

It was super hard and lots of time with work. Also an understanding wife helps
