The old ways of trapping and snaring are forgotten by most today
and the times to remember them are once again upon us in these
times of economic and disaster uncertainty. This old style survival
book of trapping and snaring lore, contains one of the greatest
descriptive and applicable primitive and modern ways of acquiring
game for food and sustenance. The book that was originally
published in 1907 has been digitalized painstakingly, not a cheap
scan like some offer that is blurry and hard to read. This volume
contains information on building deadfalls, snaring with the bits
of string you can find or using commercial grade wire snares,
portable traps, bear and raccoon deadfalls to name a few. Specific
animals are covered and their habits which include, Otter deadfall,
Marten Deadfall, Stone Deadfall, The Bear Pen, Portable Traps,
various trap and Snare Triggers, Trip Triggers, How to Set, When to
Build, Where to Build, The Proper Bait, what to do about traps
knocked down, Spring Pole Snare, Trail Set Snare, Bait Set Snares,
The Box Trap, The Coop Trap, The Pit Trap, Number of Traps, When to
Trap, Season's Catch, General Information, Skinning and Stretching,
Handling and Grading, and From Animal to Market. This is a classic
collection from Harding who was one of the first national advocates
of scientific wildlife management, conservation and good
sportsmanship in the 1900s. This early work is a fascinating look
at a vanished era and skills we can still use today The Prepper
Archaeology project is a joint venture between Ron Foster and
Cheryl Chamlies to establish a collection of historic preparedness
research and information books under the banner of Elemental
Publishing. We search the antique book stores and the archives for
old tomes of forgotten knowledge contained in out of print or
forgotten books and make arrangements to republish them as a
resurrection into good quality modern books. Meticulous care and
detail in reproduction is undertaken to preserve and honor the
author's original works and preserve the old time secrets and
methods used by great pioneers and woodsmen. The republishing
process utilizes good quality low acid creme colored paper and
modernized high gloss book covers for durability. The books
included in the collection are hand selected by experts in their
field for the Prepper community's enjoyment, so that this
historical lore will not be lost and may be reused again to face
the disasters of an uneasy world once more. This book that we have
undertaken to represent was originally published in 1907. It
contains methods of trapping and snaring that may be illegal in
your state. Please you caution and common sense if you wish to try
any of the historic methods contained here in. The book is for
informational and research uses only. Arthur Robert Harding (July
1871 - 1930), better known as A. R. Harding, was an American
outdoorsman and founder of Hunter-Trader-Trapper and Fur-Fish-Game
Magazine, and publisher, editor and author of many popular outdoor
how-to books of the early 1900s. Harding began hunting and trapping
at the age of nine. At age 14, he was buying pelts from boys in his
neighborhood, and reselling them at a profit. Making his rounds on
horseback, he carried most of the pelts in a sack, but tied the fox
skins to the saddle to show that his business was doing well. By
the age of 20, Harding was employed by L. Frank & Sons, Ohio's
Reliable Fur and Hide Dealers, of Zanesville, Ohio, as a fur buyer.
