I do not know any but I am sure it is possible I have met a few one handed people and they manage to do some amazing things.
our town pharmacist growing up had one hand you would hardly know he led/leads a very normal life he is retired now , he is good friends with my aunt and uncle , he used to drive us to swimming lessons when we were kids.
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Yea I used to know a guy that lost a hand in a saw mill accident. He had prosthetic hook thing he used. He didn't really let it slow him down much. Deer hunted with him a few times. He would even climb trees to hunt out of. Never used a stand just found a limby tree and went as high as he could and find a limb to set on.
Poor people have poor ways.

Not a trapper, but the cleaning lady at work has one arm and wipes tables down better than anyone else.

Yup….a local guy named lefty. Had his right arm blown off in an electrical accident. Had to have special eating utensils made….and only can drink beer from glass long neck bottles. But that didn’t stop him from trapping ! I was amazed at what he could do.

It is better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.

I knew a one-armed roofer. He was missing part of his right arm right around the elbow. He worked as hard as any of us. It was pretty amazing to see him whipping the mop around on hot-tar roofing jobs.
Eh...wot?

Heck yes,. The old host of KY a field has one good arm and still bow hunts. Has a fob and pull and holds his bow with his teeth. I think his name is Tim? You will find a way and you can do it.

Maybe you can find you a kid to mentor and have him do most of the skinning. For otter, a skinning machine would probably be invaluable.

Good family friend lost his arm. He’s a character to say the least. He said if ya want to know frustration and perseverance try putting a pillow case on with one hand. Heck I bet opening garbage bags would be a lesson in that. Sometimes that's tough with 2 hands depding on brand.

My grandpa lost his left hand in an accident when he was 18, he is now 90, he never Stopped doing any thing he wanted to do, after a few years he was fitted with a changeable Hook on his arm.
He never looked back, you can do much more now than he could then, you just Have to have a positive look on life !!
Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !
