Contemplating on singing on a Jr. Partner
Well although I'm getting a late start on things , and we have what seems like more snow then we've had in a long many years for being only the middle of December , I'm thinking of singing on a Jr. partner.
In the past I'v signed on a few and things don't usually work out for one reason or another , but maybe it's time to give it another try.
My line is about 1.5 hours west of Edmonton with fairly good road access in and around it , but I don't recommend any road trapping and do all mine off my sled .
If this is something you could give a solid commitment to this winter shoot me a message via PM
You will need all your own gear and traps , a good 4x4 truck , and a sled .
I'd hope for a experienced trapper , as I really don't have time to babysit anybody coming into this and getting in over there head.
Thanks to all those who inquire.... Jim.

Singing? Sure, sounds like fun! What kind of songs do you like? If it's country count me out unless you don't mind cleaning up all the vomit!

I try not to sing when my partner is around. He may think I hurt myself, or that I am unhappy with something.

Junior
Sure wish you lived closer to home, I would definately take you up on the junior offer. It is very hard to get a line, or get to junior a line these days.
I will have my own line one day...

Thank you for doing this McLeod! I am just getting into trapping at 14 years and from first hand experience, it is hard to find people really willing to help me out. So thank you for introducing a new person to the trade! Merry Christmas and a Happy New year!
