Was wondering if there are any trappers out there that are also chicken lovers?

Long ago when in high school I trapped the creeks around our home in Beaver County, Pa. Trapped muskrat, beaver and accidently caught a mink once. I sent the pelts to Sears & Roebuck in St. Louis. I swear, skinning and preping a beaver pelt is one of the hardest trapping things there is. Don't know how the Mountain Men of the west did it.

I'd get up at 4 am to run the line then skin and stretch them when I got home in the afternoon. Great fun and I even made a few bucks.

Here is another one that loves to trap and be outdoors. Been trapping off and on for 30 years. Mostly muskrats and otters. Tried coon and caught mostly skunks and possums. Do alot of bowhunting also mostly whitetail and when I can get a tag bear it's a blast. Mike

The bait that catches coon & nothing but coon, is a teaspoon of grape jelly on a slice of bread. No joke! ....My dad is in all the old night hunter books. I've picked up a few tricks from him along the way.
