It came up on Google so you don't need the magazine to read it.

As a lure maker who derives his $$$$$$ from this vocation.... I'm partial to LOTS and LOTS of trappers and trapping.

Yep.... biased as can be.

All those license trappers producing record low harvests. Must not be trapping too hard?

Interesting article. I hardly believe trapping is seeing a revival based on one state's data. As the article states many states are outlawing trapping on public lands. Fur buyers, lure makers, and state trapping organizations do nothing to promote wild fur or fur trapping, its a joke. The best takeaway from the article is: find an alternative outlet for your fur. As in, send it out for tanning yourself and sell it locally.

Easy TB.... this lure maker (and others) do more than you may know to promote trapping. To paint with a broad brush is not accurate.

With trapping, in general?
I'd tend to agree.

There will likely be people that continue--regardless of fur prices. I am one of those but I have different goals than others.

However, how many trapping suppliers, lure makers, etc. will continue as viable businesses? I wonder who will sell lure in 30 years?

As I was building up my inventory of traps and tools, I considered unavailability in the future.

Good article and not sure why all the ads never had that many ads and my computer just sent a warning about the download having a virus. Might be careful and scrub your putor.

There are trapping associations that have classes for young and old trappers. These are made up of a lot of folks where this is their first experience with trapping. Alabama is one that comes to mind, Wisconsin is another one, New York is another one and North Carolina is another one. I've donated hundreds of bottles of lure, traps and many books to these efforts. I do believe this does promote fur trapping.

Dealers I have talked to have had really good supply sales in the last couple years.

Also, North Carolina Trappers Association sets up a booth at the Dixie Deer Classic every year to promote trapping.

I have to ask, what do you do to promote it?
