Certainly the nocturnal visits of raccoons and {| skunks had been no clue - these are my regular city visitors. But & wolf howls and sighting a black bear on our road gave me pause to consider that not all of our neighbours had two legs. The wife, | considering the possibility of only one leg, decided to stop her ¥ nightly walks. It's so easy to become insular at the cottage, especially if it's on an island. I spend the weekend on my own property or out on the lake buzzing about. The only thought I gave to nature was when it crossed to my side of the road, and then only to re- sent the intrusion. It had never occurred to me to cross to the other side of the road myself until 1 walked into a dead fox hanging in a neighbour's shed last fall. I stumbled to one side, tripped over t several beaver carcasses strewn about the floor, skidded on something slippery and blundered into a tangle of metal that pro- mptly seemed to seize my foot. To my chagrin and relief, none of the traps were set, so I shook loose and weaved my way to the back room where my neighbour sat with a knife, a hunk of raw meat and a pelt. With typical insight I knew he was either a taxidermist or a trapper or a very strange eater. Since he had the knife, I was relieved to learn that he trap- ped to supplement his income. Now the most I knew about trap- ping was Jeremiah Johnson, Greenpeace and Paul Magdar Furs. I figured you just crossed that road, threw out a couple of traps and sold the catch for big bucks, so I asked to go along. We climbed into a stinky contraption called a "Argo" -.a fibreglass frame over six balloon tires controlled by two handles § that cause turns by braking one side or the other. This also steers fi the vehicle. The stink turned out to be the load of raw and rot- | ting carcasses in the back to be used as bait. I wasn't sure I wanted to meet anything that would be attracted to that smell, much less wears it's fur. The odor also explained why the trap- per didn't think I'd need to pack a lunch - I could just swallow breakfast again. z We cannoned off into the impassable wilderness onto a § "road" cut Argo wide. If this qualified as even a trail, the 401 is the yellow brick road. This was my first inkling of the workload [# involved in trapping. The summer before my friend had chain- £ sawed his way through, moving trees and rocks by hand to gain § Fall access. If it had been me, the trail would have been the width § of one man in frantic flight from the insect hoards. : The amazing Argo carried us over, under, around and through terrain where no Indian had ever been. I know because I didn't see any. All I could see was trees surrounded by undergrowth, rock and swamp. At every turn more of the same. They all began to look alike immediately. I think that history has given the pioneers too much credit - they were probably just lost cottagers like me. The trapper showed me where deer ate and rubbed antlers. When we left the Argo to walk to a trap line or beaver pond, he would lead and I'd hear him say: "Deer. Wolf. Fox. Deer. § Moose." Finally I asked: "Why do you keep calling out animal § names?"' . "To let you know what's been here," he replied. I asked how he knew. "Well, there's tracks and there's droppings. For in- stance, that's deer dung you're standing in now." As I wiped off my boots, I couldn't help but wonder where he'd learned to iden- tify droppings. Was there a course or did he just sit around in the woods watching animals defecate? He took off again carrying a mess of heavy traps and several pieces of bait and I scrambled to keep him in sight. I've never § seen anyone so fast in the woods. Of course I'd never been in the woods before, but this man must use steroids. He gave whole new meaning to the words "speed trap." I sweated buckets and swatted bugs, branches, burrs and brambles. The down side of trapping for me was the catching. Not because of any perceived cruelty - the kills appeared quick and painless - but because I had to lug the bodies back to the Argo, Lind RONALD D.
