A man could do much worse than Acqua di Parma Colonia as his first cologne, especially in this warm weather time of year.

Make that (at least) three of us. If you ever bought any supplies/traps/etc. from Headwaters Outpost ... that was us. We folded when the fur markets tanked in the early 80's. Lost my butt on that venture.

There were some lessons learned, though. I made our own scents, and got familiar with many the various essences and the way they either blend or dominate. Doggone shame I've got the oldtimer's disease and can't remember much specifically.

As for the Victoria's Secret "Sexy" men's scents - I don't doubt they smell good to women, considering what their clothes do for men. However, unless it came in a plain brown wrapper with a bogus return address and in an unmarked bottle, the minute my wife saw it I'd be accused of having an affair. That's simply not true, I only kissed her one time at an office party and we'd all been drinking.

I got into trapping because my youngest son saw some furs at my friends house and said Dad can we catch some furs like these? I said sure,but i didn't know the difference between a mink and a muskrat! So we took the course, he was 10 and i was 44 and that was 10 years ago.Better late than never.I got some equip for minnesota trapline. Are you still able to get out and set some steel?

No, all the places I trapped fox and bobcat were managed by coal companies back then, and they allowed access. Now the gas company has the leases, and they lock everything up.

I still might have a go at some beaver this winter, but with back problems I don't know if I'm up to that. The locals go after the easy ones that aren't far from the road, and it's a hard slog with a heavy load both ways in waders to chase the rest of them. I figure I gross about 50 cents an hour trapping beaver, less expenses, if I don't count the time I spend skinning, fleshing and stretching them. That particular place (National Forest) looks like it's perfect for mink, but I have yet to see any sign of them.

I agree with the opinions on the scent of MWF. For Mothers day I bought mom the handsoap and sheep soapdish, she got a kick out of it.

Mitchell's Wool Fat Sheep Soap Dish

For aftershave I have been using Ogallala Bay Rum, it has an unusual scent that is not too " overpowering " . For Bay Rum it is not the cheapest out there, but it comes in a glass easy pour blue bottle.

Creed Erolfa is one that I would recommend, especially for the warmer months. It's clean, fresh, has an oceanic note in it--and it's a nice balance between mainstream and something that smells "unique" and a bit more "upscale." One frequent criticism of Creed is the lasting power.

I've really been enjoying Trumper's Eucris. I also got L.T. Piver Vetiver on a blind buy. Both very nice, though I think I prefer Creed Original Vetiver to the Piver.

im 31 so im in the middle of the scent road lol


i have the ogalalla sampler it was cheaper to buy 2, 2 ounce samplers then to buy the 4 ounce bottles lol so i have all their scents currently out. which i love the sandalwood bay rum and the reg bay rum. love clubman thats the scent i remember at the barbers.
