Thought it might be fun to share a few then and now trapping pictures. I started out at 10 trapping and am 66 now. The first picture is of when we where 14 and 13. I'm the exceptionally good looking one on the left. Those who know me now probably don't believe I ever had hair but I actually did. That wa in the north country of New York, St Lawrence county to be exact.

The second picture is last season. I've replaced the hair that once a adorned my head with facial hair. Years working under fluorescent lights washed all the color out of my beard. I'm sure that's what caused it. I am shocked though. I thought getting old would take a lot longer.

Would love to see your then and now pictures.

Ain't that the truth!
Great pics

Top pic was in the 70's

pIcture of a picture, probably Polaroid back then, 70's. Sorry for the out of focus

Late 80's, early 90's.

2 years ago. Don't have any recent pics of trapping with me in the picture, almost always alone when checking.

Maybe someone can rotate that last one, I forgot to do it before inserting.

Great pictures. Keep them coming

1982 and 2015 They are mink sheds in the background of the 1982 pic. They are gone now.

Pic of my son and me, early 1970s.
My grandson and myself several years back.

This was me the last time I set a trap.

That's the line I use when talking to friends I have that I have been buddies with more decades than I feel I've been alive!

Some older pics. Couldn’t find any from late 70s and through 80s but here are some 1990s and early 2000s. Man I looked younger back then!!!










And here are some from more recent times. It’s funny, back in 70s, 80s, and 90s I had never heard of a “selfie” I always had to have someone with me to take my picture. I don’t have many of me but I have a jillion of my boys. I was always behind the camera, right. Then somewhere somehow someone started the selfie and that made a difference.






Thanks for starting this thread, fun post!

Early 1970's I am guessing around 73' Running a mink line and working fur in my first rental house basement.




I lived to hunt, fish and trap back then. A good day on rooster birds, a long range shot grouse on a back road, and some crappie and perch from a mountain top lake. Summer of 1972 .



Some random trapping photos from different states in the mid to late 1970's and one is in the late 80's. We had no coyotes to speak of back in these early years.

Only a sighting of one being shot during hunting season now and then. I caught the first documented coyote in 1988 in our area not far from our place. It was a big deal at that time, newpaper article etc. Things sure have changed in 45 years.



Early 1980's caught pulling orders in an old facility. An old kodak 124 camera photo. Very poor lighting in our old building in those times.

Ok so how do I post pictures from my computer

….. you were a very handsome man Mr Jameson
