BenC OP trapper B Joined: Mar 2025 Kansas	My Mother passed a couple months ago and I have been sorting her things and came across this old trapping book. It was my great grandfather's, then passed to my grandfather, to my Dad, and now to me. It was published in 1909 I have many squirrel cage traps that I need to get rid of
