Fifty Years a Hunter and Trapper: Experiences and Observations of E.N. Woodcock the Noted Hunter and Trapper, as Written by Himself and Published in H - Paperback

E. N. Woodcock was born on August 30, 1844, in Lymansville, Potter County, Pennsylvania. Woodcock worked the trap line for more than a half-century and was a faithful contributor to Hunter, Trader, and Trapper magazine for a decade. He also was a noted hunter and trapper in Pennsylvania during the late 1800s and the early 1900s. He designed many animal traps and was known for his ability to trail animals for days on end. In his later years Woodcock became an advocate for more stringent hunting and trapping laws, and he believed conservation was the answer to the declining population of all game animals. In his more than fifty years, Woodcock never hunted illegally or out of season.
