Retiring from trapping

[trapper]

After 67 yrs and because of my ankle that I broke in jan ive been advised by my doctor that if I trip and bust it again they would likely have to remove my foot.Hey what the hell I'm 81 so ive had a good run at it and enjoyed all those yrs.So next spring I will be selling all my traps etc.

All due respect to you,trapper,to a man who knows when it's time to hang 'em up. With all your experience,you'd be an excellent mentor for a new person just getting into it. Like everything else,it's a dying art.

As a fellow trapper I feel your pain. Too bad you couldn't hook up with someone to just ride along, help skin etc. Never say never. The prices for fur are going to be real good this year too - lol.

That is too bad.....I guess we will all get there one day.
Best of luck with lifes adventure.....

I feel your pain. At 71 with Parkinson's, I'm realizing I can't train another gun dog. I can't think of one thing good about it to say. Old age ..........unless you still have good health.

If I ever get my hands on the moron that called these "The Golden Years", I'm gonna beat him half to death.

[trapper]

They put the cast on too tight and 4 days later my toes turned black.They removed it but didn't replace it just gave me a boot.Ended up with bacterie infection which I'm still having problems.Have had xrays and just had cat scan now its just waiting for results.
