For those who don't know about these things, they are classic trapping names. Calvin Rutstrum is my favorite outdoor author. Now, I consider all good trappers my brother (not outlaw trappers) no matter what era. But I'm going to try and keep my discussions to pre-1850. Its tough to do to as even with all our modern gear trapping is still a hard job requiring a lot of woods savy and skill. Still the bond between modern trappers and our brothers of two centuries ago is strong. I keep mentioning for anyone wanting to trap critters to join and take a trapping associaton course. I also hope everyone on the list is in the NRA and they should join their state trapping association to help support them. You may not trap but some day you may want to catch one beaver and they are the only ones fighting for our rights. Remember our whole era revolved around the beaver trapper or people who dealt with them. Windwalker, nonresidents cannot trap furbearers in Montana. You will be near water but it may be solid ice! Ice went off and on many times this winter on the Missouri. My river the SUN just thawed out one week ago. Been frozen solid since november. Those are some tough beaver living under the ice that long, what a life. I have two big hogs so far but only have a few traps out. The fur is prime still as the water is ice cold, this I know firsthand. Its still always better to take fur too early then too late but always during the set seasons.
