Bud's post about how many years couples have been married got me to thinking back on how much we change over the years -lol.

Anyway, post a pic of yourself back when you were young, if you're not still young.

I recall a nice one of Jtwappa when he was young.... holding a possum, I think.

Anyway here's one of Rhonda and me around 32 years ago when stationed in Turkey....



And this was just me around the same time period....

Hey Paul, I think this is one of the pictures of Jtrapper in his younger years that you were thinking of right?

This picture was taken 55 years ago and was of a nice pike I caught as a young lad on Nisswa Lake.

Please note the shadow if you can that shows I am holding it out on a mop handle to make it look bigger. I was following the directions of the guy at the bait shop. I still like to hold 'em out front a bit.

This was 30 years ago when I set six 330's one afternoon and had 6 beaver waitin' for me the next morning.

This is me last fall..how time flies and changes our appearance....ahhhhrrgghh!!

Heck, p-skinny was supressing his smiles even back then!

And Jackie?
EVERY time I see that pic, all I can think is:

"He's always after me Lucky Charms!"

And yes, when I hear it in my head, 'tis with a lilting Irish accent.

I'm completely jealous of y'all having old timey pictures. I don't have a single picture of me trapping in my youth(52 now), just pictures of the last 8 years of ADC work. But in my mind the pictures are clear and vivid, I caught a lot more then anybody else,everything was bigger and my pelts were handled to perfection. grin

Here's me and my trapping rig, about 1964
The more I think about it the date is probably closer to 1967

Man This is one cool thread especially the old black and white pics.

Sullivan K: Your picture reminds me of when I was to young to drive and had to use my bike....I don't think there is a young trapper on here that hasn't used his bike on time or another as a means of transportation.

About 25 years ago. I'm the one on the right....PS That's not the "leprechaun" Jtwappa on my right. That's another friend of mine.

Paul, I bet from the big smile on Mr. Dobbin's face that was back when a mink was worth about two weeks worth of wages.
Good One!

some great pics ... kinda neat to see that some of y'all actually existed before the internet smirk wink grin

I still get a chuckle looking at Jackies pic ... it kills me ... aint figured if'n he grew up Amish or if that "beard" is one of them "Be A Spy" fake beards you use to be able to order out of the back of comic books (bet he got free sea monkeys with his order) wink whistle grin lol lmao

Seth - that's a neat old picture ... even though it aint really Jackie ... do you by chance have anymore of them ?

Great pictures, but if you want to see some really cool ones, we need to get Donnie from Arizona to post some of his. He has a million of the and they are just awesome. Trapping, mule deer, etc.

Come on Donnie.


PS- I'd like Buzzard to post some catch pics from when he lived in Western, NY.

really cool post guys, neat to look at on my birthday as i wonder how i made it this long and how bad i can abuse my body from here on out, its strange to go to bed one night and wake up the next day and be a whole year older, you take time to remember nicks and dings along the way and realize you only get one shot at each day, so live them to the fullest and take lots of pictures so that some day when your old and gray and tired, and your kids, or grandkids, or great-grandkids get to thinking your just a wheel-chair accesory you can point to one and say hey, i walked uphill both ways to school through waist high snow in knee high shorts and enjoyed every minute of it cause them were the good ol days.

So heres to long lives and tight chains, your bobber going under, and your buck going down, Ill buy you all a drink in 2100 on my 112th birthday,

Warren

While I am not an old timer yet, (not quite 40 yet) Here are a few.

I think I was 2.


I think I was five, the other dude is my brother.


About 10 or 12 with a snapper and my sister.


Shooting last summer.

I think I was older than 1, but less than 2. I'm the smaller one with my hand in the watermelon. The other one is my brother with our grandparents in the background.



Last season. I just turned 50 about 10 days ago.

Me 1952



Hal, on left , and me 1953



Hal, on right, and me, probably 1953



Hal, on left, and me, I guess 1954



Me, on right, filling the neighbor kid full of lead, probably 1956



Interesting story. The kid I'm shooting, in that picture, got invloved with drugs, bad, snuck into the Toledo zoo and climbed into the polar bear cage. The bears killed him.

Pitifulest looking bunch of mess ive seen in a long while and that Sullivan bunch is even weirder than id first thought, one legged aunts with fruit baskets on their heads, weird looking clothe's and un buttoned britch's, lol.

Lordy looks like some half starved to death peanut farmer's son, lol.


I still get a chuckle looking at Jackies pic ... it kills me ... aint figured if'n he grew up Amish or if that "beard" is one of them "Be A Spy" fake beards you use to be able to order out of the back of comic books

Yep Possum as many lawmen, women and women's boyfriends as I had looking for me half the time back in them days I had to change my appearance often, lol.
