    I love your content man. I’ve just started possum trapping. Ran my first line of 23 because it’s all I can afford for now. Got a permit from doc to trap in some doc land.

    Truly enjoy the scenery. An lake. At my age seen many great places. You got the lead of best. Thanks for showing it fight to keep this way. Showing it allows the stinking rich to build an destroy. Politicians can be bought as countries try an expand for resources. They know not what they do!!! PEACE BE WITH YOU AN FAMILY.

    I used to hunt possums when I was at high school. Stretched and dried the skins for sale when the buyer came to town. A well set undamaged full black doe skin once got me $15. Most reds got around $5. That was about 1979. Now I live in Australia and when I talk of hunting possum for the fur trade I get hated on. Love to be doin what you are doin
