RIPP YOUR TRAP LOOKS LIKE A NEWHOUSE BY THE CHAIN A 3 OR 4,NICE FIND ,I HAVE A 4,4 1/2,5 AND SEVERAL OTHERS TRAPPING WAS MY FIRST LOVE IN THE OUTDOORS I STARTED IN 3RD GRADE FOR MUSKRATS.THE BEAR TRAP MAY BE A #5 NEWHOUSE WITH A FORGED DRAG ALSO VERY NEAT.TRAPPING IS A FORM OF HUNTING THAT IS SLOWLY BEING WIPED OUT.PEOPLE DONT REMEMBER THAT TRAPPING OPENED THE WEST.I BELIEVE TRAPPING MADE ME A BETTER WOODSMAN,YOU HAD TO PLACE THAT ANIMAL ON A 2 INCH PAN TO CATCH IT,AND DO IT WITOUT LEAVING ANY SCENT AND LOOKING LIKE IT WAS LEFT BY ANOTHER ANIMAL.AS A KID YOU COULD DAY DREAM OF HOW THE MOUNTAINMAN FELT.......AH TO SEE THE WORLD AS THEY DID NO FENCES,SIGNS,OR HUMAN CREATED EYE SORES.THOSE WERE THE DAYS MY FRIENDS WE WERE JUST BORN A LITTLE LATE.YOU GUYS WHO LIVE THERE NOW KNOW THE RIGORS OF THE LIFE,IMAGIN BACK THEN THE HARDSHIPS THEY SHRUGGED OFF EVERY DAY.HAIL TO THE MOUNTAINMAN PROBABLY THE GREATEST HUNTERS THAT EVER LIVED....... |
