Man, that brings back some memories. Back in the 70's when fur prices were good my dad and great uncle were trapping fools and had piles of drying boards piled up in the rafters of their skinning sheds. Around here most of the trapping was for fox , muskrat and raccoon. Between the two of them they probably had enough muskrat traps to fill three or four 8-foot pickup beds stacked as high as the cab roof. Of course by the end of the 70's the fur market had gone to pot and all those boards and traps weren't worth a plumb nickel.
