trappers wern't put out of business because of game laws. Like gobbler said, no demand for furs, prices dropped, fell out the bottom, trapping virtually stopped.

There wasn't much yote trapping going on then anyway compared to coons, red fox, etc. They just didn't bring the money and coons were, are, a hell of a lot easier to trap.

In 1980-81 you couldn't find a dead coon, opossum, fox on the roads. Buyers were paying $5 for an unskinned road kill opossum, and gas wasn't so high either. LOTS of folks were making routes to pick up road kills before work.

I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

muslims are like coyotes, only good one is a dead one
