Timmy pulled his traps awhile ago, too much time huntin. He's gonna start back up after rifle season. Think he got 5 coons the last week he had em set. He's gonna start after Muskrat also next week. I'm gonna have to start up a deep freezer just for his pelts & bait (fish remains) Cooked up his spring Gobbler last night to make some room. Was gonna save it for Christmas but it had to go.

a guy told me they were supposed to go up to $20 but I hear that from someone every year, then they get a big suprise when they take em in. I imagine there not even worth $5 but i havent taken any in for a long time. the kid that told me this year that the prices were going up, went out and bought all kinds of stuff and thinks hes gonna make a living off it or something. haha. trapping/hunting coons is just a hobbie nowadays. you best not quit your day job because you read in a magizine that prices are "skyrocketing". Im done for a while. my english coonhound is getting to old for that crap anyhow.

Rats aint worth nothin. It gets worse and worse every year. Coon seems to be rising though.
The Lord has blessed us all today... It's just that he has been particularly good to me.
