I'm facinated with these large catches, nothing like I knew when growing up. Pete Rickard showed me how to trap foxes when he was alive, I was about 17years old then, I cought 14 one year both reds and grays using dirt hole sets. Mostly coon hunted. Pete knew many trappers around the states and canada like Pierre Cody, through his mail order trapping supply business of which is now permanently closed. Heard stories about Butcher and Dailey in their early days in the adirondacks and the "spring hole set". Had several friends in upstate NY both of whom caught 40-50 fox yearly and had their regular jobs. Nothing like what your averaging. T
