So my pilot started trapping - 03/25/24 03:24 AM
Soooo yeah me and my pilot ( he's the other guys that drives the boat. Under the captain but over the steers man) already got along really well right ? he's got 6 years on me kinda a quietish guy ,good sense of humor easy to work with .Well last three months he's gotten into trapping and man the fur bug hit him WAY harder then it did me. I mean he LOVES fur , fur handing handling tanning and all that. Me not so much ( love trapping just not crazy about fur handling).
Started off in December when he was telling me he wanted to get some coon off his deer feeder but he has cat and his wife was against foot holds , told him get some dog proofs and told him what's works for me. Well caught his first one skint it and now every other conversation we've had the last three months has been about trapping Heck I'll be out on the barge doing somthing and he'll come over the radio telling me to look over on the bank at some coon or coyotes or something and joking about running a trap line with the skiff or heck just sit in the wheel house and use the spot light to look at coyotes on the bank.:D Gotta keep reminding him I'm no expert whatsoever but ive been recommending him books and videos to watch.....which hanst helped with is "problem" Shoot today we where painting and he said he really wanted some nicer fur handing stuff other then his home made gear and I told him about F&T ,said hed check it out. Well come out my bunk and into the galley and first thing I hear is him cussing me out saying it's my fault he just spent $200 on stretchers and coon bait proceeded to pitch to ask the captain about catching and skining coon and if we could keep the fur in the freezer ( or ,as he said "heck just have nugget cook it up !" so yeah job got just a lil better now .....now if I can just get him off me about not liking country music
