I kick myself that I did not take pictures of my trap line and catches when I first started out as a kid back in the 60s/70s. Anyone have some they would like to share/ post?

I would, but I wasn't even born until 1985.

We didn't have money for camera I guess or not a necessity back at our home, in the 50's-60's.

My first fox - 1962 - Nebo, VA

Paul, your pics are in a class all by themselves. Awesome, thanks

Sorry, but this is the earliest I can do.

My two brothers and I so proud of our muskrat! I'm on the far right.

I have very few pictures from the 70 and 80's

Paul,

Is that the Nebo outside of Saltville, VA ? That’s the only Nebo I know of, if so its very close to me.

This is one of me from the early 70's with 6 beaver from 6 traps in one night .

Yes it is.

Have albums of pictures from back then. Wouldn't have any Idea how to post them though.

Not sure how old this picture is but son is now 36 and a lawyer. I try not to hold that against him.

Did you all live in Nebo or just came and trapped? I have also heard you or others talking about your dad trapping the mountains around Marion & Sugar Grove as well. Is this correct?

Great pictures Thanks

We lived there for two years when dad worked for VA Dept of Health trapping foxes for rabies control. From there we moved to Culpeper.

Here's the house - it's still there.

Late 70's





I didn't hit my stride until I got my first truck in 1981.

Had to look to find some these are from the late 70's. I have some in the late 60's have to look harder.

Fox on a drag caught up in an open pasture. I guess that is where crop circles come from.

Awesome pics guys. Bob I like the cat in the loft. An your long chained fox
