On Patrol, Kanaga Island Aleutians. The horns and helmet came off Sanak. Here is me with a trapping basket on Kanaga. Look Kanaga up if you don't know where it is.

Great pictures! I have great memories but no pictures. Growing up I'm not even sure if we had a camera and if we did, a picture of us trapping would of been on the bottom of the list to take a picture of.

First coyote caught in a dirt hole on a pond dam (maybe 1990 or 91)

First mink who swam thru his last rat run (same time frame)

First mare I actually trapped in a round pen on purpose- she was tiny but would pin her ears back and go after an entire pen of bucking bulls (maybe 2000 and she was Skipper 2 over Jet Paul)
[Linked Image]

First and last unicorn dumb enough to to get blind set (2018- looking for my 2nd b/c I made a few mistakes with that one)
