Very sorry for the loss to the trapping community. Gary was my instructor in 2013. I learned many things from him. His lure knowledge was exceptional!!
God speed my friend!

Sorry to hear, losing all the trail blazer's of our industry rapidly now. I can't recall ever meeting him but have enjoyed his writings for many years.

We move forward as a trapping community, but with some real holes to fill. I am so thankful trappers of his skill, knowledge were so willing to share with fellow trappers for decades. God's speed to Gary's family and friends.

Gary and I crossed paths in the mid80's the first time. He was not only one of the most knowledgeable trappers, lure makers and sportsmen's I have ever known but also extremely active in the trapping regulation arena. He served as Vice-President of the FTA for decades, officer of the North Dakota FTA and several other ventures. We served on the FTA Officers board for countless hours of meetings. Information exchange between the two of us seemed to be a one-way exchange. He so often shared his knowledge to trappers or politicians.
Rest in Peace Gary! Enjoy those campfires with the other great's up above!
Roy
