If there are any old trappers from Michigan on this forum they may remember Gary Dunlap. I got word today that Gary died in his sleep last night, he was 72. He was a professional trapper and fur buyer in the Hubbard Lake area in Michigan through the 1970's. I met Gary around 1977. We hunted and trapped together for a number of years. We kind of went our separate ways for awhile. Gary moved to Alaska a number of years ago and we recently started talking by phone. He wanted me to fly up and hunt with him. I have been trying to call him the last few months but couldn't get hold of him. I wish I had called more and got to talk some more before he took that last journey.

Sir, it sounds like a bunch of wonderful memories. My condolences on your loss.


An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.

the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

Well, there's something to look forward to in his moving on to better grounds, you might trap again with Gary.

Graet pics, just really great pics.!
