When Mike Lapinski set out to write Seasonal Pro Trapping, he brought to the effort two essential ingredients not always found in texts about trapping -- he is both a quality book author and nationally published outdoor writer for Outdoor Life, Fur-Fish-Game and a quality trapper with years of in-the-field experience. In other words, he knows what he's writing about. Mike Lapinski's "Seasonal Pro Trapping" Book, in 6x9-inch format, 150 pages, 15 chapters and 60-plus photographs, gets right to the core of how you can make your part-time trapping efforts today profitable. Mike has written this book for you because, as a part-time pro trapper himself, he knows what it takes to achieve financial success in trapping under conditions found out there today. His chapters carry you through the business part of trapping to a listing of the top 10 trapping states, species by species, a special chapter on "Pro Trapping Techniques" in which he tells you how to avoid the basic mistakes that limit your ability to make money in part-time trapping. And then he covers, chapter by chapter, the basic trapping techniques that work for the major fur species -- muskrat, mink, raccoon, beaver, otter, fox, coyote, bobcat, lynx, marten, fisher and wolverine. By the time you've worked your way through his book, you'll know that you've been in the field with an expert.
