Destroying The Myth

Destroying the Myth is a 10-minute video filmed in 2004 and distributed by the National Trappers Association, which explains the use of the foothold trap used commonly by trappers.  The video describes the use of foothold traps to capture and relocate animals in wildlife restoration projects, as well as the use of these traps to harvest animals for their fur.  It shows tons of great footage of animals being captured and released unharmed by the traps.  Such information is often ignored by animal rights activists who paint the trap as inhumane.  Destroying the Myth is a must watch for all trappers.  I would encourage you to watch the video and share it with others who are less familiar with trapping.

You can find a link to the video here, or at the National Trappers Association website.  I have also provided a link to the video on the sidebar to the right of this page.  

Great Trapping Video Clip

Check out this video from MyOutdoorTV.com.  The first segment follows a couple of trappers making and tending sets on the Little Miami River in Ohio.  The two trappers are well experienced and educated in wildlife management as well.  Their interview provides a great perspective on the sport of trapping for the newcomer as well as the seasoned trapper.
