Tips, Tactics and Technics for Trappers
Plus tales and plain old good advice for anyone who ever thought about trapping for survival, sustenance or money.
Buckshot, the author of the following articles, has been trapping for 25 years in 5 different states. He has caught minks, raccoons, opossums, skunks, red foxes, gray foxes, coyotes, bobcats, muskrats, fishers, otters, beavers, ground hogs, snapping turtles, weasels, badgers and other game animals. He has built a log cabin and lived off the land. He says "I love the woods and being a free trapper in God's great outdoors."
Why is trapping important for survivalists? "The most important reason I think everyone who plans to survive should know how to trap," says Buckshot, "is that during the Great Depression the game animals were hunted down to nothing, but the trapper always fed his family." You can contact Buckshot via e-mail with questions or comments.
