Whe ?n you said some names of trappers you said Marlin Riggs, wasn't it Martin

Does any one remember Raymond Driscoll SR.? I found a memorial marker on a juniper tree in northern Lake county Oregon. I never met Him. I thought it was pretty cool too find a fellow trappers memorial marker at a bobcat set location.

I knew Ray Driscoll, tough old dude but a good trapper and also a big fur buyer. They don’t make men like Ray any more.

No his name was Marlin Riggs. Don't think Ray Driscal wasn't a government trapper he was a fur buyer and had log trucks. I sold him fur when I was a teenager, so that's been 50 or so years ago

Who is who?

Was Ray Driscoll SR the man who passed a few years ago, or was SR his father? Ray bought many furs from me at OTC sales. The last was two cats, $1627 each. I told him "thank you". He said, " no, thank you for bringing them in". He was buying and working the floor out of a wheel chair the last few years. Good, and tough.

There was a government trapper named "Sammy Shaffer". ( name corrected per super cub )He was around about that time also. Worked the central part of Oregon.

The marker I found was printed on a brass trap tag. It read Ray Driscoll SR. Oregon fur trapper, Oregon fur buyer, Feb 3. 1936 - Sep 17. 2014.
By chance, I met the man who placed it there. Dennis Curren a big time muskrat trapper from Klamath Falls. He said they where good friends and trapped together! Pretty Cool.

that was Ray Driscall the fur buyer. That Shaffer was Sammy Shaffer, he and Rusty Cox were good friends

back in the late 70s Ray hired trappers to trap for him. Coyotes and muskrat, Ray furnished the pickups and all traps
Sorry getting off track

I remember the old government trappers name from Klamath County was Art Cooper. He would have been started in the mid 60s

Yup, that is right Jack, Sammy, thanks for the memory edit. I will edit my post.
