Trapping memories - 12/22/21 11:05 PM
It's been quiet a few years since I sold my trap line.
So every once in a while I like to look at some of the photos from back then to remind myself of those years.
Today I decided to offer to take you along on that ride. Of course there isn't room here for them all so I've chosen a few of my favorites to share.
Me in my line cabin, winter of 1992
Dad with a big Wolf hide, spring of 1940.
Kid brother posing with a couple of critters destined for the fur auction. Winter of 1970. one month before he died of exposure, on the trap line.
Dad fleshing a Beaver pelt, spring of 1972
Me with a Wolverine i caught, Christmas 1992, the last year that I trapped full time.
Checking Beaver sets, January 1990
