I was made aware of it today that Oscar Cronk has passed away. He was an icon in many ways in Maine and across the Country. Cronks Allagash Fur Call was one of the first lures I ever purchased when I started trapping as a teenager he will be missed tremendously.

I just saw this on another site. He was a Honest to Goodness icon. Never met Oscar face to face, but bought from him and always enjoyed talking trapping and 'cat chasing with him on the phone.

I had the pleasure of meeting him here at NYSTA convention. Class act he was. May he rest in peace.

He's off trapping the HIGH country where beaver is King and always prime!

Never got to use any of his stuff. Did find one of his old catalogs a few years ago, it's hanging in my living room now

Oscar was a very gracious man and always enjoyed visiting with him when we attended the same conventions. Sorry to hear about his passing.
