Scattered from the Arctic Ocean to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific Ocean are thousands of trappers who use deadfalls, snares and
other home-made traps, but within this vast territory there are many
thousand who know little or nothing of them.
The best and most successful trappers are those of extended experience.
Building deadfalls and constructing snares, as told on the following pages,
will be of value to trappers located where material — saplings, poles,
boards, rocks, etc. — is to be had for constructing. The many traps
described cannot all be used to advantage in any section, but some of them
can.
More than sixty illustrations are used to enable the beginner to better
understand the constructing and workings of home-made traps. The
illustrations are mainly furnished by the "old timers."
Chapters on Skinning and Stretching, Handling and Grading are added for the
correct handling of skins and furs adds largely to their commercial value.
