Trap Collecting Page

I started trap collecting a couple years ago, when my then 12 year old son was getting interested in trapping. I began buying used traps from people by placing ads in newspapers,etc. I started getting some traps, I didn't know what they were. I bought a few collecting and value books, joined the N.A.T.C.A. and now after owning 420 old & collectable as well as trapping traps, I really like it, almost as much as running the trapline.
