Before I really even started trapping - I found a small ditch when I was in college bird hunting with rats swimming around and eating. I would often sneak down there and just watch them - was very peaceful to me just observing them in their daily activities. I think these observations really taught me to appreciate trappers even more as I firmly believe some of them are some of the most wise biologists out there. I see some of the PhD kids roll into furbearer biologists today with no trapping experience......sitting about 10 feet away may be an old high school dropout who has trapped 50 years - I know who has the better education and who I would rather have managing our species.
