I am not putting down those men you mentioned, but there were guys trapping circles around them. Pud Long, J Cutis Grigg, John K smith, Marvin Bud Hall....... What thse guys did was learn how to use the auto line and give up the foot line. Of course Daily was a man's man but he was a foot trapper. Butcher was a joke, all he had going for him was he could tell a good story, he was a better fly fishing guide. He ran an add in the NY times and a few stock brockers started going to him. They did all his investing and he died a very rich man. He'd show up at the big trappingt conventions in his plane..... bottom line was he owned a massive INN up there that his wife ran.
