Yep 20 oz of lure for 20.00 wouldn't hat be something! I know a dollar versus a dollar today but still. Fur prices compaired to lure cost through the years LOL.

Yeh Marty the book Sherman wrote was an excellent book and I read it every so often again as well. Along with the Nelson system trapping book.
They sure knew how to market themselves even back then.
I just bought a 1945 Trappers world in really good shape with artical in it from Ehn, Herb Lenon and others. hard to imagine that is 70 years old. Trappers sadly getting long in the tooth but try and do my part with a handful of kids to carryin on the tradition.

I came across 40 copies from 1905 to 1920 Canadian editions of Fur and Game when they were cleaning out a basement of a spinster. The cleaners dumped the lure and rubbed off the labels , CAUSE THE GLASS COLLECTORS WANTED CLEAN GLASS some 30 bottles of turn of the centrury lure
( and I have access to GC's at the university to have seen what was there, as well as the Dna of the animals then grrrrr
One book as a tale of mr Conibear trapping beaVERin the NWT in the 1920 who would know he would develope a trap

I think the main difference in the old trappers vs today, was in their understanding of the animals.
as Seldom says- too many want to know how, but not why

I think the main difference in the old trappers vs today, was in their understanding of the animals. as Seldom says- too many want to know how, but not why Seldom/Never(yes, Never is Seldom and Seldom is Never) still stands on that statement. As I cruise a few of the trapping boards that fact is patently obvious! From my experience it certainly isn't just trapping-related, it's appears to be an inherent mindset. Throughout my career in the fabrication and welding industry, I found the same mindset commonplace in shops and construction sites in all four corners of the US and everywhere in between! The interesting thing I found was age and years of experience made no difference! There were as many old welders as young that had no idea of the WHY of what they were doing!! |

What are the dates on those issues?
Thanks for posting.
My first 1 ounce lures from Leo Hoeft were $1.00 plus postage in the early 1960s.
