I'm gonna have to start locking my truck. Twice this week I came out to get in it and theres a coon in it. In the high price years I love my neighbors and coworkers that donate to me. This year not so much.
Still trapping a few coyotes and rats, but I need to quit. The fur market sounds worse every day...

NOT SO HOT. HAD A BUDDY WOULD SNEAK HIS TREE BACK AT NIGHT AFTER XMAS AND STAND IT UP IN THE FIELD. ABOUT APRIL i`D SEE THIS TREE BROWNING OUT AND THINK WHAT THE HECK DISEASE NOW? THEN GO LOOK AT IT AND IT TIPS OVER, SAWED OFF. TOOK SEVERAL YEARS TO GET ONTO HIM. THAT`S OK, i GOT HIM. HAD ANOTHER BUDDY PLANTED A CEMENT FAKE INDIAN AX HEAD ON THE PATH TO THE BARN. TOOK ME A FEW YEARS TO FIND IT AND GOT ALL EXCITED. THE BOSS WAS IN ON IT. TIP IT OVER AND THE OTHER SIDE IS FLAT. HAD A MUTUAL FRIEND SNEAK IT BACK INTO HIS BARN PATH. BEEN ABOUT 10 YEARS NOW AND NOT HEARD A PEEP YET. i EXPECT THE TRUTH IS IT`S OUT IN A TREE ROW HERE AGAIN SOMEWHERE.

DAVE i BEEN THINKING ON THIS. IF YOU`LL JUST QUIT DOING YOUR SHOPPING IN VEVAY YOU CAN STOP THE ZUCHINNI AND COON DRIVE BYS. IF YOU HAVE TO SHOP THERE KEEP YOUR WINDOWS ROLLED UP AND THE DOORS LOCKED. KEEP THE CAMPER SHELL LOCKED TOO. EVEN THEN i WOULDN`T LEAVE IT PARKED TOO LONG. SOME ONE WILL PICK THE LOCK AND LOAD YOU UP.

DID YOU EVER..... i`M STILL GOING WEST BUT WON`T BE ANY 330S OR 220S OR BOX TRAPS ON THE TRAILER. MAMA WON`T BE MISSING ME FOR VERY LONG THIS YEAR EITHER.

Every mole call is "I have 100 moles in my front yard." Research shows an avg. of 3 moles per acre and .... only twice in 20+ yrs. have I caught over 6 moles in an avg. suburban yrd.

The fellow I sold to last season...er....almost April 2014, isn't listed on the DNR fur buyers list. I reckon he went under paying $16 on 'coon that late in the season. Dave Pfander was his name...Deputy, IN.
