when I’m traveling through the forest
and the river swamp I like to keep a
good idea where I’m at this really old
pine stump that’s full of pine resin I
stripped a little bark off of it about
twenty years ago as a landmark for me a
very valuable resource I don’t use a map
I don’t use a compass they make a thing
called a GPS Global Positioning System I
think for the call it by golly I like to
pin on Natural Resources
brain common sense if the brain and
common sense ever quits working you’re
in trouble but even if I do get lost I’m
home I just have to camp in a different
place
in the feral swamps of Georgia
frontiersman Colbert is in the final
throes of trapping season there’s a lot
of indication of early spring early
leaves and flowers and buds just got a
short time left to harvest furs for the
winter trapping season the advantage of
having traps over hunting is I can be in
a dozen places at one time so it makes
me more efficient more effective this is
a good place for me to say to travel
this trapping is important to me this
year even more than ever because the
money that I gained from the pelts that
I gather I used to buy new supplies and
rebuild my cabin I want to put the trap
as close to the roots to make this the
obvious travel way and then he’ll see
the stake and automatically dive under
water to go through it that looks like a
pretty good set just about any animal
that comes by get caught in that trap
and I’ll have fur and that’s what I’m
after
think that’ll work it’s my job as a
trapper paying attention knowing animal
habits and behaviors and habitat and
adapt accordingly
okay I think I like it about right there
you never know for sure what’s going
through an animal’s mind but I like to
take a little water
it looks like an otter came up through
here recently I’m gonna go ahead and set
the trigger okay that traps active ready
to catch the next animal that comes by
