Raymond Thompson's "Snares and Snaring" Book details the modern steel snare and contains information and sets on snaring rodents & small game, beaver, predatory animals, birds, fish and alligators. Snaring has been practiced extensively in North America for centuries, yet it was not until the early 1920's that a truly dependable steel snare of the self-locking type was manufactured and made available to trappers in Canada and the United States. Raymond Thompson was the first manufacturer and distributor in North America of the self-locking steel snare. This book is a wealth of information that contains many excellent illustrations and pictures. 3rd Edition. 70 pages
