I usually sell at the end of the year. I'll get something tanned at Tubari if it's unique. The cat i'm having mounted, but that may be it...maybe the ermine.
I havent held stuff over. I'm afraid the beetles would get inot it over the spring and summer.
I sold to george minnuksma last year, but I may try to make it to the state auction this year if I can get it all put up by the end of March. I'm way behind, the freezer is packed
I'm not gonna lose sleep over 1 red. I'm closing in on 50 for the season and should pass that this weekend once I finish my work week here....life's too short to get my panties in a twist over 1. Price of doing business on the wma..if you cant handle losing a couple than dont bother setting it...it sucks, but there's enough over there in different areas to make it worth it to me.
It aggravated me because it was in a good spot that's good for atleast a couple more and the shithead will probably be back looking around. He snow tracked me for awhile. Walked over a couple other snares and walked by another fox he musta missed or couldnt untangle.
Where you been finding the coon, upland or near the water? usually deer feeders are where I try and hit once this weather sets in..when they move, that's where they usually head.
Hey, headed back to Pa again in a couple weeks for another go at beaver....lots of walking and chopping ice...if you wanna tag along one day, let me know. I could use a pack mule.
