There have been many articles 
and stories written on the subject 
of Trapping and Hunting, some of 
which have advanced some very 
good ideas. But I don’t believe 
they have gone deep enough into 
the minute details and made it clear 
enough for the average reader to 
readily grasp their idea. Especially 
the amateur Hunter and Trapper. 
I was a natural born Hunter and 
Trapper, making # the nature and 
habits of animals my study from 
early youth until I was an old man. 
Forty-two years of my life has been 
spent on the trap line and T have 
captured thousands of animals, 
therefore I feel capable of giving 
some real light on this subject, even 
to the professional Hunter and 
Trapper and those who desire to 
live in the great open. There is a 
great future in raising the fur-bear¬ 
ing animals.
