Glad to hear that, guys. I figured the author is a legend in the trapping world and I'm pretty green to trapping. So it just seemed natural.

Had that book when I was a kid many years ago. Brings back memories seeing that cover.

I have six or seven editions. One of the first trapping books I ever read. School library had a couple of copies. About wore them out.


Just livin' the dream...and paying full price for it!

That is a great book, read it the first time when I was about fourteen. I used the methods in that book to catch my first raccoons.
Pretty sure I have a copy still somewhere.

Got that book when I was a lad. Still have it. It's a bit dog-eared!

Same here and it is a great book.
Sure did inspire me as a youngster
although it may have added a bit to
my learning curve.

Have read that book countless times as a kid and adult. Still have it and will never sell. Just seeing the cover smells like trapping.
