Some old trapping pictures #12561919 01/18/18 Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 573 Michigan Longhunter_1 OP Campfire Regular OP Longhunter_1 Campfire Regular Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 573 Michigan The little guy in this picture with me is my youngest son. He wanted to learn how to trap that year so I took him with me every day after school to run part of my line. He's 55 years old now. Marten trapping out west around 1972 Found this old miners cabin to stay in just below timberline. The hike up the mountain was a long one so I lived on freeze dried food for awhile until I found a creek full of trout that came out of a mountain lake.

He was proud to tell everyone he was 3/4 Chippewa Indian and 1/4 French Canadian. I learned a lot of the old ways from him, he didn't buy any trapping supplies but preferred to make his own that was passed down to him from his family. If he was alive today he would be 110 years old. He use to say, "When I'm trapping I'm as happy as if I was in my right mind"

That old Ski-do is a Nordic Track, I think 1970 model, great machine. We could set pizzin sets right off the sled without putting a foot in the snow. Fur prices were very high in those days, a good fox got close to $100. before the bottom dropped out. A big coon was bringing $50.00 in the round. When one got hit on the road someone had it almost before it stopped rolling.

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.

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

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. Last edited by HeavyLoad; 01/31/19.

The couple old timers that taught and helped me would talk about $8 rats, $50 coon, $50 mink, $60 red fox, $75 beaver blanket.
