Default A cooped up trapper!

Hey guys! I had hip surgery a couple days ago and will be stuck in the bed for a couple months. It is . But something that had to be done. I'm looking for some things to kill the time. Good books about trapping, maybe trapline stories. Older movies. Something to keep a guy who should be out on the line getting ready busy.

Thanks

Sorry to hear of your surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

If you want to read for free online try going to:
Archive.org and search "fur trapping". There are several books you can read.
