Received word today that Cohunt, better known as Jim Selgeby, passed away this morning after a long hard fight with cancer. Jim was one of the most honest men I have ever dealt with. I remember meeting Jim many years ago at the South Dakota Trappers Convention. As usual he was displaying a huge variety of traps that he had picked up all over the country. His knowledge of traps was unbelieveable. I enjoyed just sitting nearby and listening to his description of traps and the many friendships that he had through his dealings with them. Many of you have dealt with him over the years. In the past couple of months the treatments he received were less and less successful until finally this past week he was taken off everything and placed in hospice care. I went over to see him on Sunday and wished him a final "good bye". I am not sure if he knew me or not. Heaven is truly richer tonight because Jim is there.

Rest in Peace my dear friend.

Respectfully,

Jediknight

Sorry to hear that, alot of knowledge gone

Will miss his knowledge of trap collection. R.I.P.

Sad day and a loss to the trap collectors community. Bought a few traps from Jim over the years and he was always a wealth of information and shared it freely. He will be missed. RIP

Thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and friends... he will be truly missed on Trapperman.

Sorry to hear that, rest easy Jim.

JIm and I trapped together in Northern Wisconsin in the 70's and met him while working at the USF&WS field station in Ashland WI. He helped me get started in trap collecting and will miss him greatly. The last few years were not easy for him as he fought cancer. I will miss him and he is still frequently in my thoughts.

I met Jim when I sold him some traps years ago. I stayed in touch on here. Awesome guy.

I am very sad to hear that.

Sorry to hear. RIP
