I am not old enough to have real old pictures but getting old enough to say things like, when I was younger I used to do dumb things like try to fill my 3/4 ton truck with beavers... . . . Talkin' about flees . . . them beavers were probably covered, right?

Most beavers have fleas but they seem to stay on the beaver. Can't remember ever having an issue with them hitchhiking. Fox are the worst and then coyotes. For some reason they rarely seem to hang on very long though.

Thanks readonly . . . I learned something about the Beaver's "fleas"

And a few more. The highly prized and sought after double on skunks. A Christmas cat. Pulling some mink sets after an unusually large snowfall with more predicted. My friend and trapping partner. We trapped together one season as our work schedules rarely lined up but this year they did. This was taken just before a fur sale. There's 127 hanging. We ended up with 35 more before the season ended.

I hope you didn't trap those skunks in Wasilla. Just south of Wasilla. By about 2000 miles.

I love all the pics, old and new. I dabbled in trapping for probably 4 years in the early 80’s. Nothing like what’s shown here. I had a little line on the upper cuyahoga river for muskrat, coon, mink. I would get up early before school and jump in my aluminum gruman canoe to check the traps. Good times. When I read and see old pics of how it use to be makes me wish I was 40 years older. But hell that would mean I’d probably be dead now.
