As a child I was blessed with a family that enjoyed and thrived in nature. By the age of 11 I was hunting pheasant and rabbits with my Father and Brother, and family camping trips could last a month or longer. Living within walking distance of New Jersey's larges lake facilitated daily fishing trips with the neighborhood kids. These experiences engrained themselves into my being and I continue to enjoy these activities, albeit in different locations and forms as I hand them down to my children and grandchildren. since retiring I have enjoyed the endeavor of fur trapping. The peaceful solitude of walking the trapline and the challenge of making the sets and outwitting clever predators such as Coyote, Fox, and Fisher is relaxing and stimulating simultaneously.
