Stanley h a w baker, Russ Carman, Johnny Thorpe, Charlie Dobbins, Donald Biermann, Leo h o e f t and Larry s q u i r e s were all Trappers that when they wrote or talked I paid attention. More recently Don Powell, Mark June, k e n Smythe, Bob Noonan and a few others have all contributed to my knowledge and enjoyment of trapping..

Tom Tyree and Lewis Quarles personally were the most hands on, influential trappers that taught me their skills.
Leggett's, Lewis Quarles, Phil Brown. All share/shared a common work ethic.
Enjoy readings from Charlie Dobbins and Stan Hawbaker.
Russ Carman , OGorman, Lenon , Dobbins have fine lure recipes and I respect them for that .
Tom Tyree for teaching me to handle fur. He’s top notch, and helped me a lot.

Why, you Joe Meek! I often wish I could go back in time and hobnob with some of those mountaineers.
Bernie, today I drove past the site of the Umpqua massacre of 13 of Jedediah's men in 1828.

Pete Rickard would be mine, Spent a lot of time at his place when we lived in Warnerville, NY. He always had a few pet Red Fox running around the place. Loved the smell of the room where the lures were stored. Trapped my first Red fox a few days after getting advice from Pete. When Pete was getting on in years, Buddy & I would go and chat, Pete would be out in the yard with his .357 shooting gallon water jugs at 50 yards, Wish I could line up my pistol sights at that age.
