Trapping days fade as fur prices plummet in Ohio
A veteran recounts fading days of muskrat mink and raccoon trapping in Ohio as prices collapsed from mid-century highs. He recalls 1940s and 1950s earnings, dawn traps, and the thrill of hunting pelts, contrasted with modern declines and the end of a sport and livelihood. He notes muskrats at 75 cents to a dollar and mink around 12 dollars, while lamenting the shift away from trapping.
