A LIFETIME OF LEARNING: COYOTE TRAPPING
Perspective is a funny thing. To look at a mouse and think it’s small makes a flea on a dog quite tiny and a germ unimaginably microscopic. Conversely, if you live in Texas everything seems big, yet our entire earth is the size of a germ in comparison to the universe, which is said to contain more stars than all the grains of sand on earth. Now this may all seem immaterial to one’s trapping ambitions, yet the perspective you create toward your skills and goals makes a huge difference in the outcome of both.
You can bet my perspective changed one fateful day in South Dakota when I met Odon Corr. It was my first investment in trapper education — oh sure I had Garold Weiland’s book “Long Liner Fox Trapping,” a true trapping classic that inspired me to dream of the longline as a boy.
