[QUOTE="DSheetz, post: 2966020, member: 91783"] No, O'Gormans is out of Brodus Montana Crag did trapping instructions and his wife Dana did the lure bait and equipment with her help Nancy. I used M&M Furs out of Bridgeport South Dakota till around 1986 than switched to O'Gormans when they would ship to my area. For a long time, they wouldn't ship to anyone within a 400-mile radius of Brodus MT. . No helping anyone that might be competitors of yours. He taught that theory to a lot of people.
