Ken Smythe's bottom edge mink has put 10 times as much fur in my shop as all the others i've bought since combined.

I don't have a very extensive library, but of the few trapping books I have, I like Coyote Fever best.

Land sets and trapping techniques, i have a signed copy from 80s and it's my predator trapping Bible.


Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Just like jabNE, Land Sets and Trapping Techniques. Its one of 2 books that I kept when I sold off my collection because it had the best information.

For a DVD, I would have to say Don Powell's Mink after Mink on Purpose, and also Eric Space's Mink Snaring videos.

PRACTIAL FARMLAND TRAPPING by Ray Lindroos. Dad got this book in December, 1946. I found it in the bottom drawer of the desk, in 1964. Was the first book of dad's I felt was actually good.

Also, at the same time a manila envelope from Herb Lenon with the 5 books he wrote. This was the books I read over and over.


If kids are not brought into trapping; trapping will die of old age.
Remember, Rush Limbaugh is always right.

And a fifth vote. That reminds me, I should dust it off and read it again before I get to trapping next week.

Land Sets and Trapping Techniques by Charles Dobbins made the biggest difference for me. After that it was Ron Leggett's Fox Trapping Methods.
