Trappers Aids 



The Best Bear Bait Is honey smeared on 

 fresh fish, or burnt honey comb. 



A Slendid Place for a Trap Is between' two 

 logs where there is a passage way through which 

 the animal must pass; by-paths as they are termed, 

 natural channels, crevices or paths littered with 

 hollow logs, etc. through which the animal must 

 pass, or is apt to. 



Never Handle Traps With bare hands, use 

 rags or buckskin gloves. Never spit about where 

 traps are laid. 



Use Scent Baits Wherever possible. -Bark- 

 stone, Fish Oil, Castorium, Musk, Assafoetida, Oil

 pound of them all. 



Read the Game Laws Of the U. S. and Can-

 25 cents (coin or stamps) and avoid borrowing 

 trouble.

 them. If a storm or blizzard comes, snow and cold 

 in plenty, you will then get your reward, as the
