I have a question for you guys. Were Fox that easy to catch back then? Or were they still difficult? I'm not trying to take away from their skill or anything, just curious. Thats a feat that I can only ever dream of doing.

Fox were easy back in the day … they’d just walk in the fur shed.. skin and put themselves up lol

… the men posting those pictures know what they’re doing

I always dreamed of having a barn covered in fox like some of the old pictures but never seemed to be able to catch more than a few dozen per season. Then I realized we didn't have the high population like some states seem to have. The fewer the critters, the harder they are to catch.

If fox were good money now,..you would see images reflecting what you have seen above.
Numbers are high now but the calculator is shorted on batteries.

I didn't mean it like that Savell, I know they know what they're doing. I just didn't know if it was easier then than it is now. Like I said, I wasn't trying to bash anyone for anything and I know they're very skilled.

… I know you didn’t mean it like that …but I couldn’t help making it look like you meant it like that c’mon lol

And High Beaver and Otter

2021 are my oldest picture on my phone, but I miss those days also

Fox are easy if numbers are up,..I wouldn't get to caught up figuring how to obtain success . Harvest numbers are short and have been. ( no ones) trapping!
You want fox? Dig a hole,. deep,. make him/her work the reward,..repeat.

Outstanding post of some incredible fur!! Not to single anything out but Phil sure knocked the red fox out!!

PSB can make any trapper feel insecure about his fox catch numbers.

I think I miss my Trap Shed set up from the past more than anything. Was my attic that my Brother In Law and myself cleaned out, threw in a couple of large windows and sheetrocked. My furnace and clothes dryer were up there so always had heat during winter. fur prices were pretty decent too.

Some areas have alot more fox then other areas.Where I lived growing up most people could catch a couple.The best trappers caught around 20 to 30.That would be a good days catch in some states.
