Always enjoyed his writing and following his adventures. Prayers for him and family.

So sorry to hear, I introduced myself to him at a VA Trappers convention a few years ago, very friendly and I am glad I got to talk to him, I too always enjoyed reading his articles. Will say a prayer or two for him.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

He has done a lot for the trapping world. Prayers for the family.

Aww, hate to hear this. I didn't know him personally but talked with him a few times on Facebook, and have been reading all his books and articles for years. One of my very favorite trapping authors. Prayers sent.

Never met Don. Don't know him. But his name is known amongst trappers. I am sorry to hear of his failing health and will say a prayer for him and his family.
