trappinbum trapper Registered: 08/06/09 Posts: 66 Loc: WI, Seymour	A modern trapline by Bob Gilsvik is kinda like that but with tips and sets also. It's a pretty good read but probably more on the instructional side....try it you might like it. _________________________ Coons 6 Grinners 3 Muskrats 4 Skunks 1 Rabbits 1 Fingers 3 (I will learn sooner or later, LOL)

Todd Lund trapper Registered: 12/24/06 Posts: 868 Loc: Wisconsin	I like both of Bob Gilsvik's books. I also like Austin Passomonte's mink and muskrat trapping book as well as his High Volume Coon trapping. There are so many good books out there. _________________________ I trap mink because I can't help it.
