LARGE GAME TRAPS PLANS FOR BIG GAME HUNTERS & TRAPPERS
Following out the suggestion conveyed under the title of "The Trapper," we shall present full and ample directions for baiting traps, selections of ground for setting, and other hints concerning the trapping of all our principal game and wild animals, valuable either as food or for their fur."
However free our forests may be from the lurking dangers of a tropical jungle, they nevertheless shelter a few large and formidable beasts which are legitimate and deserving subjects of the Trapper's Art.
Chief among them are the Puma, or Cougar, Bear, Lynx, Wolf and Wolverine. Although commonly taken in steel traps,these animals are nevertheless often captured by Deadfalls and other devices, which are well known to the professional Trapper, and which serve excellently in cases of emergency, or in the scarcity of steel traps.
