Great walk down memory lane. I bought a lot of trapping lure from O.L. Butcher when I was a kid. A quite a few traps. Used to send off a handwritten letter with the order and a check. Dad would write a check to them but always kept me honest by making sure I had the money first. Either from fur sales or my allowance.

It would have been great to spend a day with those old shooters. Just to sit and listen.


Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
