RIP Joe and Sympathy’s to his family.
I too, first heard of Big Joe Reeder from my friend and mentor Craig O’Gorman back in the mid 1970’s but didn’t meet the man until in the 2000’s at a trapping convention in Missouri. What a pleasure that was.
He was famous for his big catches of everything with just one trap, #3 double longsprings and drowning them all including coyotes and bobcat. He was truly one of a kind.
Enjoy Mother Nature's Glory, everyday!
Once one opens the mind to the plausible, the unbelievable becomes possible!
