About the same duration that you paid attention at you wolf trapping course eh? I think we know how you feel about Alaskan wolf trappers techniques….lol crazy
I know the quantity ain’t great and the music is pretty funny, but these old videos are dang near unobtainable now a days.

Back when this came out the video assembled and brought the viewer information that simply was not on hand as it is in today’s rich internet resource base.

I was a young man when I first watched this very video and it helped me along.

I don't think so. Seems a lot of that old F&G video was shot around Tok. I think that was the guy that owned the Bullshooter store
in Tok. Forget his name.

Thanks for posting, I had seen the first half of the video before, but not the second part. Yeah the video quality is poor, but you can see what they are doing and it is always interesting to see what methods they were using back then and comparing to what I do today. Or at least what they were proclaiming to the public worked. I know a lot of old timers when I was a kid would intentionally pass on disinformation on methods because they wanted to keep their proven methods secret.

Has anyone actually used or known anyone who used a broom made out of coyote or wolf tails when making a set?

The counter looked like the one in the Bullshooter. John Baker ran it when I was there in 91-94.

I believe that Danny Grangard is doing some of the demonstrations.

Before John took over the store. Ya, that's Danny doing the demos. I think that video is from mid 80's and Mr. Pete B is narrator I believe !
