Yeah, I was thinking maybe we should start a 'get Ken a coat' fund. Looks like Barb has put some time in on repairs on that artifact! smile

Poor me. Alms for the poor.......

That coat has character....but not much insulation. Smells good though after several decades of lure in the pocket.

Speaking of lure, that cat came to some Dobbin's Tri-Nitro.

Yeah the string was for making him wave at the camera.

Kusko: Those pants are more patch than OEM. Same with the coat actually. Barb was trying to make me look like some hippie from Talkeetna with all that stuff.

Hang the coat on the porch and bed a couple traps under it.

Nice the Yukon Jeff set works I use it on all my sets, to the fact I learned to trap from him. Said it more than once, and say it again thanks Jeff! Hooked ever since cant stop looking at traps and different sets, and waiting for the new trapping year is a drag, at least there's fishing and some good hunting to make it go by faster, and no I don't wanna join the 330 club the bridger#3 club is fine for me all four fingers, thumb twice, the second time I was sick to my stomach from the pain just laid in the snow for a while.

All the talk about loading pics from iPhone, had to try it again. Tried a few weeks ago, wouldn't work, then saw where someone said to get rid of the help box. Looks like it was successful.



Snare set for yotes at a bait station, I like these better so I wasn't disappointed.

I stuck my hand in one last week, luckily had a glove on and it was only 2 coil. Misremembered where I had bedded the trap, got a reminder. Trying to hurry in fading daylight...

aknative that pic is beyond funny it should become our new metis flag , wish i could show that to my friends . i keep looking at it and laughing my wife thinks im drinking .

madmike to bad about your finger but good to see everyone giving you a tough time about it . that means they care , at least thats what my mom always told me when my older sisters would make my life a night mare . also to bad about your coat you should hang it up in the bush for a lynx atractor and to chase off evil spirits from your trapline , dont worry nobody will steal it . my friend one time went down to prince albert and only jacket he had was his old wore out trapping parka in the truck , his wife said she was so embarrased to be in town with him and people kep trying to give him change for a hot cup of coffee . not sure that is a true story but his wife says it is .. all good stuff . enjoy your morning

Good to see your out trapping Ken. That lynx appears to be very clear. Show us a belly picture after boarding and turned.

Years ago those small clear lynx were the top lot at the auction. Early 80's $1795 for top lot. That same year my neighbor trapper Mike Benz had three blue lynx kittens that brought $1200 each. Wonder if we will ever see those days again?
