Trapping Only

I’m always looking for dry spots to set cat traps. Today I found an old mine adit in the gully next to rocky ridge I was planning to set. About 15 feet deep drift and no pack rat middens in it which was surprising. Seems like a natural spot nonetheless. Anybody have any luck setting in the mouth of caves or mine adits? I usually look for overhanging ledges or rocks. Just wondered.

Reading for the 2 nd time Johnny Grants story "Son of the Fur Trade "The HBC chief at Edmonton post was asked by this this young indian how he could endear himself with a girl .He told him to use lots of Asafoetida in his hair ,he went into her lodge and Rowand (chief factor ) watched and soon her mother left, then 3 of her other suitors ,then the girl left too .He asked what he did wrong and Rowand said you got there too late .
Johnny Grant was huge Montana figure ,He started trading horses and cattle on the Oregon Trail ,the drove them on to the Deer Lodge valleyto fatten and heal .He was truly bigger than life .Seven wives and 23 kids .He was Metis and left Mt for Red River settelment about 1864 Eventually he drifted back to the Edmonton Alberta area where he was born . His stormy relationship with his Dad was very trying . His dad was the HBC trader at FT Hall on Snake River .He gave Johnny $ 100 and kicked him out (18 yrs old ) He parlayed that $ 100 into a fortune and died happy and broke near Edmonton.

This is a very unique trap. It is basically a Cortland #1 1/2 LS Double Jaw with some modifications.
By the looks of the patina it was done a long time ago. This is a dog trap with an early cast pan.
The pan is not readable with the exception of a few letters.
The trap is functionable with the dog going through the double jaw to the pan.
The chain is unique too. It has a safety pin chain with a solid ring.
Own a piece of early trap history.
I will send pictures if you send me your email address..
Price is $225 shipped to you.

TEN THOUSAND MILES WITH A DOG SLED
By Hudson Stuck
This is an account of the author's travels throughout Northern Alaska, the Arctic Circle region, the Yukon River and Koyukuk River region in the early years of the 20th century. Travel was by dog team over near non-existent "trails" and on the frozen rivers. His story details the hardships of life on the trail, people he came in contact with, both native and trappers and miners from the States and Canada. He writes of the numerous roadhouses, near tragedies on the trail, and the communities he visited in conjunction with his line of work. The book was originally published in 1914. This edition was published by the prestigious Wolfe Publishing Company of Prescott, Arizona in 1988.
The book has 420 pages. There are numerous vintage pictures (many more than what I have shown here). This volume is in CLEAN, Very good to EXCELLENT CONDITION! This is an amazing look at wilderness Alaska and dog team travel in the early years of the 20th century. Worth reading!

I just seen an old bottle of Hawbakers lure called Aged Honey. I’m really curious about it. Anybody know an idea of what was in it? I have to think it was more than just old honey.
