About This Book

A practical, illustrated manual for trappers that describes trap makes and sizes, the inventor Sewell Newhouse and his methods, construction and tempering, and comparisons of popular models. It explains how to fasten and set traps (including tree, water, jump, webbed and double-jaw types), where and when to set, baiting, scent control and preventing theft, troubleshooting mysteriously sprung traps, and care and marking of equipment. Later chapters detail skinning, stretching, handling and grading pelts, preparing furs for market, and offer miscellaneous field hints and step-by-step routines for seasonal, land and water trapping.
