To the trapper in Gustavus that received my F&T order along with your own a few days ago... Merry Christmas. I hope you enjoy the thousand foot of 1/16 1x19, the dozens of slim locks and whammies and ferrules and the roll of 11 gauge wire.
Did I miss anything?

I have to use a LOT of sawdust on those big ones!

Was that a post office error akpawpincher ??? Sure hope you can recover it. If that person was at all worthy of calling himself a trapper he should do what is right and send it to you. Hope that happens.

Hope you paid for it with a credit card.

I worked it out with F&T. The individual in Gustavus ordered a bunch of stuff and my box got mixed with his and got his shipping label. He gets the stuff and I get to wait another 4 or 5 days for a new shipment to be sent out. I need it but won't die without it. Just one of those things. F&T knows where it is but due to the expense of having the person return it they are just letting him have it. How come I never get the good deal? LOL!

Good to see it worked out. You will be able to have it for a Christmas present now.

Kind of a long story, but I placed the order Nov 24th and I'm still waiting. Would have liked to had all my stuff built and set this weekend. I still have some snares left, but they are getting a little decrepit from being moved around and reset repeatedly, and most of the locks have been reused several times over and are wearing a little. I'll still get some stuff out this weekend regardless.

Thats a big delta Red there Rafe. we had a couple in top lot last year from here.
had Rabbit and BBQed Porkypine tonight MMm....MMmmm

Looks tasty! I hunted out of Aniak some years back and a local told me that he preferred porkies over caribou. Said they had more fat.

Nishe looking "veg all" Jeff! I'll take the rabbit anyday...the porky, the jury is out still!

Yea .. I wish I could say we grew them in the garden but this summer we had crop failure.

I have no idea. That's a wolfwoman question! I have lots if you are interested.

Akpawpincher, if you don't mind, PM me the individuals name, if you have it. While I don't know any trappers in Gusta, I do know people who might.

I'd rather eat marten...again...than porky.

Mine have always been exelent..yours must of been eating spruce or your sweaty old axe handle

LOL ! Could be ! The meat was not bad but the fat would gag a maggot !

That is true not many spruce down there the diet probably makes a big difference.

It did have nice white fat marbled through the meat. and it had no fowl oder or taste in fact it was quite mild.

I picked up this Sheefish in the net today it was 35"

Now that is good !

This weather sucks. Forced me to go into the freezer and start thawing and fleshing. Found a fox from two years ago that somehow eluded me. Good news is I'll be done with all of my capes, hides, and skins in a few days.
