We take a moment to honor Gary Sefton, a longtime Trapper supporter and industry friend. He would have turned 81 yesterday, but left us earlier this year to meet his Lord and Savior. Before working in the outdoors industry, Gary was a country music song writer, having his songs recorded by more than one hundred different artists Including John Anderson, Tom T. Hall, Chris Ledoux, Ray Price, Waylon Jennings, Joe Diffie, and Earl Richards to name a few.
Rest in peace, sir. Your kindness and generosity touched so many people.

Little Miss Emmy Jane has found a love for the outdoors and has a designated backseat in Dad’s trapping truck. She has mastered the very important job of re-baiting their dog-proof traps. She loves trapping for raccoons and beavers with her dad and grandpa. They run a small trapline in Northwest Iowa, and she loves every minute of it!

Thank you, Brent and Emmy Jane!

DID YOU KNOW: The idiom "to eat crow" has origins dating back centuries. While it means to admit yourself wrong after having proclaimed strongly one way, literally eating crow has been deemed unsuitable by many - even appearing in the Bible, chapter Leviticus: “Of the birds, these you shall loathe; they shall not be eaten.”

Since crows are carrion-eating scavenging animals, Western culture has a tradition going back to at least the Middle Ages of seeing them as distasteful (even illegal at times) to eat. This makes it naturally humiliating if forced to consume against one's will.

However, many other cultures have and still do consume crow. Despite the stories about "eating crow," which seem to cast a dark light on this bird, many say that it is quite delicious!

Would you try eating crow?

How cool is this?

Wisconsin trapper Dewey Waddell shared: "Fresh off the work bench, I was able to put five of the coyotes I got last year to good use. This vest is lined with Polartec and has two pockets as well as deer antler buttons 😁"

DID YOU KNOW: Raccoon baculum has been worn across cultures for centuries. Some wear them as an amulet for luck or love, while others wear them for their powers to affect fertility.

Do you save them, and if so, how do you use them?
