WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 22, _ In this week's column Les takes a look at trapping, something I've been after him to do. Unfortunately a part of hig. maniscript is. missing. either he never gaye it to us or. we've misplaced it,- Either. way: the'story would be a bit hard to ‘follow until the reader gets into - it. As L understand, Les is out on his trapline, with,a partner, and. f ‘he’s just had trouble with a trap: Let's ‘pick: up the’ Story: there. ~ Ed. note. ‘T think I'll tie my traps to. a ‘tree from now on. Look, there's “a‘dox over: Ahere; not'a "red ¢ one - buta pure’ black with a very. . : little trace of silver, the location me is not geod for asset, I'll reset it we later at a place [ think will be: me better. m= ‘This set and the next ‘one are.

And still raining.. My partner says ‘we . } should go into businbess as rain, Smakerg for .Saskatchewan - every time we're together i in the woods it rains. | The beaver here have worn a iskid road 6” deep and 18”’. wide | menere, Even my partner agrees meethal the signs indicate quite a oe ycolony. ‘I'll check the banks .of - the river for two good locations nd drop in two sets, I have lwo’ fold traps cached herese I'll use - gthem and rig up a drowning set. Mis surprising how much @ Bbeaver can carry. A weight of seeaboul fifteen pounds will keep jthem underwater until they drown, which takes a matter of, 7 fminutes, Ils more humane than a ‘Gunsmoke’ neck tie party. “I keep my fox sets about.a a mriile or two apart, though Imay me make lwo sets in each location.

I'll reset this right here while. “my: Partner admires. the fox _pelt.. He wonders if any’ more fox will ever come here, but 1° assure-him that they:will.-. Time to move onto the’ next set, but wait, Ihave some boxes . I nade for use with the small . / Connibear traps:and this looks like a good creek for a mink set.. I ‘hope these. boxes prove. up: because the Connibear is about .the: best instant killing -trap = around, ‘and I'd like t o finda tot * more effective “ways to use them. .

I don’t think my: pariner believes all the stories I've told him of my | cabins’ history of “being ran-~ sacked‘! and damaged. No_ ‘matter -- I’ve seen it all and I.’ know its true, Back to-the trail.now, and I ‘have a beaver set, mink set and _ ‘fox. set “here. The Connibear ; holds a huge beaver that my ~ partner. doesn’t even see until - he has ‘4 foot of it.

To spring a ‘Connibear a ‘beaver ‘must: have . -his head right inside but there i is’ ‘one sprung and empty, I have a new, type of killer’ “trap in the car, .T'll-send my . partner out for it while I resel _ this Connibear. If I didn’t know “better I'd say a humari tam- . pered-with this trap. My ‘part- : ‘ner thinks that a person would — take.a trap and all and I sup- pose he may be right. ‘This ‘new trap .has lots. of: ‘power in the springs but the. ‘trigger set-up i is + POOF and they the load is sloppy. Things never . § work out if :you’re ‘trying to impress someone. Hey, there’s a fox in the set too! Whal'a day! By now my partner must think I'm the best fox trapper ever born: 3 sets - 3 foxor maybe he thinks every trap is always full. That’s what the books say isn’t it? This is a nice big dog fox, a silver cross, ‘the kind that onee drove fur buyers into a spending frenzy. Goi that one reset and its just ~ a little way to the next one.
