What books do y’all recommend? I’ve been picking a few up a month and was wondering what yall would recommend. For any animal or even just stories about people’s trap lines.

Wild Furbearer Management and Conservation in North America. Not cheap, but hands down the best one out there.
I’ll be donating one for auction if anyone’s going to the F4WM Wolf Summit in Idaho early August.

Bernie Barringers Farmland Trapping book is a great all species book.

Charlie Dobbins Land Sets and Techniques Book is a must have for canine trapping.

Clint Locklears Eastern Wolfer
O'Gormans Hoofbeat of a Wolfer book.

I started out as a blind setter.
The Ken Smythe bottom edge books
were a welcomed change from dirt hole books.
I have two I would trade.

There's one of these listed used on Amazon for $485.


Each day is a gift. LIVE IT with gratitude.

I’m not letting it go at the auction for less than $200. That’ll be my highest bid.

Wild Furbearer Management and Conservation in North America is an outstanding reference book and worth every penny.

Jeffwright, are you looking specifically for coyote trapping knowledge, beaver, bobcat, or just everything in general? In general could get you a mighty long list.
