Almost gave up'

I started on Monday buying 4 rolls of halves each afternoon and hadn't found anything. I told myself that everything I was getting had already been gone through and I wasn't going to do it anymore. For some reason I pulled into the bank anyway and got three rolls. When I got home the latest issue of Fur Fish and Game had came in and I was going to read it first but the rolls kept calling my name. On the last roll I finely found one 40%. Now I'm hooked, back to the bank tomorrow afternoon.

Back in the 70's when my dad and brother used to trap they would get $2 for muskrats, $25 for fox, I think $10 for raccoons. I remember one time helping them check the traps and my brother had caught a catfish in one of his muskrat traps. He got quite a teasing for that.
