What is Happening to the Trapping Industry?
January 30, 2006
Dave Anderson, Director of Education for the Society For The Protection of New Hampshire Forests, has an article this morning in the Concord Monitor about the waning trapping industry in that state and surrounding areas.
Whether you are into trapping or not, this article is loaded with information that is important to all of us who respect the outdoors and in particular, its wildlife. I recommend the read.

This artical is a good read. It is so true that the modern day trapper is not a renewable resource.

I second the good read. Trappers are a breed quickly going the way of the ivory bill and dodo bird. Fur prices down, cost of trapping, up. “Crisis trapping” will be becoming more popular and demanding since there will be less trappers out there keeping animal numbers at a tolerable level. Prime example: Beavers. There’s less trappers keeping their numbers down and beavers have free reign to build dams and flood expensive timber regions… something that isn’t much an issue when trappers are out in numbers.
