Thanks Takotna! I guess I better get skinning and fleshing!

I am taking fur through April 18th, not sure about Abby but would expect the same. I know that the Stoughton, WI office extends it an extra seven days for Alaskan shippers to insure that as much fur makes it in as possible.

Thanks Guys..looks like I still have some time

Ol' Blister...Nice comment in the Alaska Magazine. I spent some time reading back issues this past weekend and saw your comment on the beavers. Well Done!

Thanks Trappin, Sometimes it feels like swimming against the tide, but we have to keep trying, huh?

have been picking up a few marten here as the end nears,got this dark one today fur looks pretty nice still.

Something ate the NOSE off that moose....

and here comes the pic. LOL

lol..I took the nose off with and axe,for another set down the road..

YJ, I figured you had it for dinner thats what happens to all the ones that come home here

Nice dark marten YJ, now if a guy could get a 100 of those......

What the heck Jeff. I think that one must of got cross bred with one of the local mink. Thats a beauty.

That is the darkest one I have caught,I wish I could catch 100,I would take pale ones even :),but I will have to settle for the dozen I have caught and hope for next year,my cat line seamed to peter out at the end,so possibly the crash is comming and in that case, will have to be a full time Marten trapper soon..it sure is easy compared to skinning cats

The two I got this year were nice and dark, but two does not make a very big bundle.

Wow they are dark.
Here is a funny. At least it made me laugh.
Newhouse posted beaver tails for sale in the trapshed and a guy asked what someone does with them.


Someone posted.

End of the line for me,..just putting up the last bit of fur,(most already sent out),its been a good year,if prices hold I should make a enough to trap again next year

Off to NAFA with the second half of the season marten.

nice hope the price holds or advances

Nice!

Wow, does that ever look nice Takotna! Lots of times, flying over your stomping grounds, I wonder if some snow machine trail I see down there is yours.
