We do not favor den trapping for

other quarters.
When a den Is located we prefer to
trap short distance away In the

from the den. If spring is near The

be pretty certain to catch the whole

Common game traps are now used
almost exclusively ny experienced
trappers. They are easily moved
about from place to place, require but
a moment to set, and may be secreted
anywhere desired, on land or under
water.
For general purposes we find a
No. trap, of standard make, to be
very satisfactory, (some use 1h for
raccoons and similar sized ami
mals.)
Where beaver otter and such large
animals are sought, larger traps must
Of course be obtained.
If the flesh side of fur turns a
dark blue after being stretched a day
or two. one should stop trapping until
the weather is cooler, as blue furs
bring only about half the price of
prime ones.

trapping for an animal is to study that

mostly on fish, frogs, roots, etc. Po'
