Turtle Mountain Traplines

About the Book

This book covers the period from the fall of 1968 through the fall of 1970. In it you will read about my summer vacation in Dryden, Ontario, about my first encounter with a hooker in Winnipeg and how Grandma put the run on her. About how I met my trapping partner Ted with whom I trapped with for almost three years. Our hitch hiking trip back to the Turtle Mountains. How Ted was attacked in the night by a frenzied critter, how he experienced his first dunking in frigid cold waters, to the innocent pranks that my brother Clayton pulled on us and how I got my revenge. Experience first hand on how I cut myself and nearly bled to death, to the stories I told on a cold winter's night and of my frightful experience high on a cliff at Gordon Lake, Ontario. To being shot at by deer hunters and to my own personal experiences falling through the ice and to the joys of running our traplines on a daily basis. Read about how I passed the off-season summer months and of the tricks and pranks I pulled off on other people and to the tricks other people pulled on me. Read on...it could be very interesting.
