Hoof beats of a wolfer,while not out of date,is a classic.Much of it is methods,but O'Gorman adds a lot of trapline history with some of its charactors,their methods and their catches.

Are you looking for method books or more of a journal type history book

From Prairie to tundra by Joe Robinson 1991. Tells of his travel at 15years old dog sledding trapping into northern Manitoba following his dad each winter. La Pas to Thompson area. He went into the managing of the Saskram marshes 2,000,000 $ of rats taken out of there in the 1930's , on to making the Register trap lines in Manitoba. Extensive writing of poisoning of artic wolves that were following the barrens ground caribau . He was one of my archaeological mentors in the early days.

Are you looking for method books or more of a journal type history book Either are fine. I do prefer journal/autobiography type books. Would like to find jonny Ehn and delmar kramer's books as well.

Would like to find jonny Ehn and delmar kramer's books as well. Both good books. For method books out of print, just got Calvin Cobb's book on snaring. Real good. If you have not read Johnny Thorpe's 50 years a treasurer hunter, I liked that.d Maior Boddicker wrote a small piece of a great book about an old wolfer but I would have to look that title up. Got it somewhere. Morris Fenner wrote a good book not too long ago about some trapping adventures. Not sure if you can find Wayne Negus's old book but that was a great one.

Negus' book is called wilderness tales and trails. The river trapper by Chansler is good Thrilling adventures by V. Lynch Traplines west(?) by Don Hoyt Sr or Jr. (Cant remember) George Liljistrand has some good ones.
What book of Ehn's are you looking for

If you have a kindle or nook , lots of online resources that let you read various old books not commonly found. One site in particular I have has old archery texts that are over 500 years old.
A lot of universities have them archived for download. Wyoming and Montana schools have lots of journals available that profile early exploration, hunting and trapping. Well worth reads.
The old Foxfire series is a great read , too.
