 Land Trapping 



Scores of old hunters and trappers have written their methods 

 (in addition to the author who for many years trapped and later 

 as editor came in touch with many leading trappers) which are 

 published. Makes no difference what fur-bearing animal you 

 wish to trap, the best methods of its capture are described. Also 

 chapters on how to skin, stretch and handle raw furs.
