Family Trapper is Back! I can't let you guys have all the fun anymore! Piperniner you set the bait and I took it.
Looks like I got some research to do here. ;0)

Thanks for those of you that let me know that I was missed and thought of now an again. It was great to hear from you guys when you did.
I would like to thank White for the latest invitation back. I guess he uncovered the last rock to hide under. Sometimes it takes the encouragement of others to get through a hard time.

I am getting back on my game now after a more than stressful year and a half of marital torture! Yikes. Enough of that.
For the record however. I am single now after 16 years of a marriage I figured would last a life time. But still a Family Trapper at heart. But it is time to come out from under the rock and join the like minded and interesting.
Time to make up for lost time. Can't say that I will be as active as before on on the board but I will be making a point of making a regular appearance and contribution.
By the way I am in the market for the perfect new machete if anyone has a lead on one!
Didn't set a trap last season. Couldn't afford to. Wasn't going to get too excited this season except to say that I did some. Well one thought turned into 10 and---- Well I got big plans now and with that comes that desire to share and bring the board along for the ride.

Stay tuned for Family Trappers Journal 09/10 . Coming soon on a forum near you!
You ain't seen nothin Yet!

Welcome back FT
sorry to here about the wife,

Welcome back FT....

I to have been in that situation....

Please share your adventures with us.

Welcome Back!!!

I also had to fight my way back from a broken marriage. It takes time, but you will make it. I learned my lesson and married an outdoors gal and we now have 22 years under our belt.

Looking forward to going along on your next adventure.

Cant wait!


Have fun.

Alright !! I did think the SPOT issue might bring you out of hiding. Really glad you're here. We all have a past and that's where it belongs...in the past. We'll respect your privacy and benefit from your techie expertise.

Welcome back! Was wondering when you would quit lurking and make it back on the board. I will be looking forward to the 09-10 Journal.

Len, Welcome back was thinking about you the other day when I saw a machete on the Cabelas web site while looking for a knife wondering when you would come back.

Welcome back Len! REALLY missed your knowledge and adventures. Sorry to hear about your family, I hate it when one gets broken up, been there done that. Your still a FAMILY trapper at heart and always will be! Good luck this year!!

Welcome back Len. AKbeaverslayer and I filled your shoes last year with a journal of our own. I look forward to your posts.

Welcome back, Len! I've been missing your contributions to the forum. REALLY sorry to hear about your marital strife! Also been there and done that, twice. you can get along just fine without the "old lady", but missing the kids is what hurts. Hang in there, it'll all level out eventually.

Alright Wh17, the rivers froze, time to hit the trail. LOL

Welcome back Len, good to hear from you. I'm looking forward to your journal!

Len, it is really good to see you back here.

I too 'have been there' and can attest to the fact that there is hope - and a real life after it all settles. (Look how lucky White is NOW!)

Welcome back!! I look forward to the banter ;o)

How about that - spot came through and located the research guy. Now we are going to see some imput. I guess that means coverage is good along the lower Yukon.

Glad you're back, Len! pm sent.

Welcome back FT! Days on the trail can be the salve for what ails. Looking foreward to your stories!

Welcome back Len..

WELCOME BACK LEN!!!!!!!!!! You were missed! LOVED your journal and your adventures!

Glad to have you as a participant once again! I was beginning to wonder if you had lost an argument with an orca over a halibut or some such nonsence.

Good to see you back Len and was good to meet you this summer. By the way, I found all the halibut I could use.

Thanks everyone. Really was nice to see the 28 replies when I had time to check in today. Wow. Just the pick me up I needed. Look forward to giving some input.

Len,
I never met you, but I have read everything you wrote here on Tman, you are one heck of a teacher. Thanks, and glad to see you made it back, I plan on learning alot more.

Well we will have to change that. I actually get up to Anchorage a fair bit now with a new tech contract I have. Have to plan a get together some time to meet some folks when I am there.
Should be quite the teaching year. I have two guys I will be mentoring on the line this year. Lots of opportunities for learning. I am sure we will be sharing a lot.

Len you going back out to the Delta to trap?

G'day mate,good to see you up and running again.
Remember:- this is the first day of the rest of your life!!
Enjoy it!!!!!

I am otterman. First three weeks of December will be a mixed bag of species with marten the main target. Plan to hit marten very hard in Feb and March.

Like others on here I've been there, and done that. all history now.
Welcome back, and here's a pic to help get the blood boiling.

Glad to see you back on Len! Look forward to hearing of your endeavors!

Womanly woes.............been there, done that! Got the empty checkbook to prove it!
Glad your back. Your contributions to this forum reach far beyond what you would think.
