This was posted in trapping only. I though everyone should know it is there. Interesting reads.


Wish I had more time to trap....

The books are in deed interesting reads. They have been revised.
It, for some reason, bothers me that a true legends writings have been revised. Lenon's writings were clear, concise and spot on.
I believe his instructions were adequate for a reader at almost any point in time.

I guess I understand the need for some to attempt some
marketing twist such as "new", "Improved" etc., I get it.
But I would not feel right trying to make a legend's work better.
Not attempting to offend anyone. Being someone that has spent hundreds and hundreds of hours
searching out old books and methods, and being an amateur trapping historian, I guess I am just really very old school.

I just talked to John Chagnon today at the MTPCA convention. Very nice fellow.

John is a great guy. He is very passionate about the Lenon lure business. He was the perfect choice for taking over a business Asa loved so much. All the products are as good as ever.

I wonder if the revision was to remove some of the lure formulations that are still sold under the Lennon name. I believe the predator book I seen had more formulations than the one posted.

I was going to ask what the revisions were. I've only read the ones posted, never seen the originals.

Mr. Herbert Lenon sold several formulas at one time. I got a hold of the formulas about 30 years ago. Loved his books and articles. I believe I have most of his books in my collection.
