No, it's not

Pete Rickard trapped & lived about 6 miles from my house in Cobleskill, NY
He made his lures there and had a small store there also
Barns and buildings still there....been there many times back in the days
The business was bought out about 10 years ago by a PA company

Oneida Victor traps made a "Pete Rickard model" fox trap for a few years
It was stamped on the pan



So Pete lived on one side of you and Otter04 lived on the other side of you. whistle

The crap they sell at scheels under Pete rickards brand are crap. Bought a beaver lure and it smelled like a weak castor dragged through a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Never got a single response on it at castor mounds in heavy beaver sign section. Scooped up the pies with my spade and remade with Backbreaker, wham! Results overnight.
Same with a bottle of fox lure I bought, smelled more like rubbing alcohol and ev weed n the coon wouldn't even touch it.
When I was a kid they were much different and worked well. Good bad for the guys good name and reputation.

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