It's a joke, he is joking that the two of you met at Pierre's Hole in 1832 - two trappers out and about running into each other. It is interesting the varied hobbies people have here outside of OPE. One of our local stores here sells traps, not sure how much trapping is done up here, probably more than I realize. Apparently one of the cable channels (Discovery, History??) was supposed to do a show on a guy up here trapping...though the last few winters have been kind of weak so not sure if they did any shooting or not.
