Yea looking like it Idk if nafa is as safe a bet as usual with the way the market looks ... have to see how it looks around February .. I have a spot I have never trapped I am waiting to hit this week coming .. hopefully I get some clear ice to see bubble trails at this location so I can push my count over 79

The muskrat had a big 3 part bite in it .. rite in the money area too .. well tomorrow I set up a pond and ditches ... also today at one spot I have a curious canine who follows were I go at one location so today I put that mink carcass under a cut section of wood and offset trap out from it and dug a medium hole for eye appeal .. hope he stays curious cause a #2 bridger will solve that

Well kiddos couldn't make it due to Temps being so low but I got out there and was rewarded with these 4 rats today 3 are from the pond and 1 from a swamp .. you can tell the difference for sure ...walked up on a beaver today so I came back with a 330 and set up for him on a creek neck down were he was and made diving stick .. fingers crossed I never caught a beaver .....

Well I talked to hoot today and I am having a couple hats made 3-4 hats couple reds half Mountain man style and a full mountain man with face and a beaver pill box hat for my girlfriend.. might have coyote made into a hat also .. they are fairly cheap to have made I was surprised bye the price for tanning and the hat made was roughly 80$ a piece ... I figure I can resell a couple for sure to pay for mine
