When I was 11 or 12 years old (in 1961 or 1962) I trapped rabbits in the woods and along the banks of the Connoquenessing Creek, just over the hill from my house in Ellport, Pa. I used big green box traps provided by the Pennsylvania State Game Commission. They paid me 50 cents apiece for live rabbits, which they relocated into state game lands so there were plenty of rabbits available for hunters.
I had a fair number of traps, and my friend Andy asked if he could borrow a few. He wanted to try to make a few bucks also. Every morning we would get together
