GOOD TRAPPING GROUNDS


GOOD TRAPPING GROUNDS

I am among good trapping grounds here and my outfit consists of thirty Newhouse traps, different sizes; .22 calibre rifle, axe, two dozen of steel fur stretchers, knife, haversack, etc., and I will tell you a little experience on the trap line.

One day I took ten traps and started to set them on the shores of Globe Lake for mink. I didn't find very good signs of mink, for they are pretty scarce around here, so I set six of them for mink and the rest for muskrats. I made four baited sets and two blind for mink and started for home when I had them set, as it was growing dark.

The next morning I went to see my traps. The first one held a mouse by the tail; it was plunging into the water. Thinking it was a muskrat, I shot at her and then I went to examine it and found a mouse. Thinking not very much about it, I hurried on to the next trap in hopes of better success, but to my delight it held an owl by the tail. Well, I thought I might just as well take her home alive, so I took her out of the trap. I had the owl in one hand and while I was going to reset the trap with my other hand the owl sank her claws so deep into my hand that I had to cut her legs off to get rid of her and so she flew away and I had to hurry home, for my hand was aching. I hardly could stay in one place. When I got home I went straight to the shop and got a pair of pinchers and pulled the claws up, which stopped a little of the ache and then I rubbed some salve on the wounds and after a few days they were healed up and a little bit stronger than before. Well, I didn't go to my traps for a few days, as my hand hindered me a little, so one morning I went to see the sets, as it had snowed a little during the night, in hopes of better success. When I got sight of the mouse trap, it held a medium sized mink and the owl trap held a large short-striped skunk and the rest of the traps held nothing by the toes. Well, I guess I will get off the trail and give some room for more able comrades.
