Been quiet here...everyone doing ok? Families ok? I've never had my trapping shed looking so good! Already got traps organized for next season, ready to start dying and waxing. Been doing some steelhead fishing and small stream trout fishing, otherwise all the yard work is done and ready to plant. You guys making use of the time? Or are you essential?

I’ve been working right through, so I haven’t got any trapping stuff done. I normally work from home so it’s not new to me, but not used to having everyone else home all day! Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. Take care.

Been doing some steelhead fishing and small stream trout fishing, otherwise all the yard work is done and ready to plant. You guys making use of the time? Or are you essential? Just finished putting up all my Muskrat pelts. Thinking about shopping them around to local fur buyers if they are still buying, and wondering if any of the cancelled State Fur Auctions will be rescheduled for a future date. Got a bunch of Rat traps, and Beaver gear to re-dye and wax. Was Due to be called back to work the 1st week of May, but that may be on hold now since Governor Android Cuomo extended the State-wide Lockdown until May 15th. I guess all the State boat launches have been reopened upstate after local Politicians applied some pressure to re-open them so some walleye fishing might be in my future. Have not really interacted with other human beings in a couple 3 weeks other than the pharmacy drive-thru, Full-service Gas station, and the rare trip to the grocery store. I think Cuomo will move the "Goal Posts" back to June 1st when the May 15th deadline arrives, and we'll be stuck in "Lock-down Purgatory" until June. I really hope I'm wrong. w

I agree Bob, I think it goes until end of May at minimum. Even then, I'll be careful when things get back up. I'm partially retired, usually go into work 3 days per week mainly now on a consulting basis but I backed off to 1 day per week but also can work from home. My company is essential as we provide manufacturing services for medical and military. Didn't reserve a boat slip this year on Erie, so going to miss out on alot of walleye fishing but will get out some by hand launching later in the season. Until then stream and some canoe fishing will do. Have reservations in Adirondacks in May for a week at Brown Tract starting on 17th. Right now the dec camps are closed through the 15th, so hoping that opens up.

As long as Cuomo can keep getting on tv every day at noon this state will never reopen. He is playing this for everything it is worth.

All good here. Sided And stained the trapping shed. Painted the inside. Sorted and dyed traps for season. Rebuilt 2 permanent tree stands on my property. Installed and brought in a new wood cookstove by myself. That was a job! Got myself a new Brittany Spaniel pup and he is working out well. Oh yeah, retired also! Stay well all.

Congrats on the retirement jack. And the new pup, I've got a deposit on a lab pup which will be born in August, so we'll have a new one come early fall. Been two years since the last, it's time.
