A "trapper" is a person who captures wild animals for their fur, meat, or other resources. This practice has been part of human culture for centuries, often associated with the fur trade. Trappers use various methods, including traps and snares, to catch animals like beavers, minks, and foxes. In addition to hunting, trappers often have a deep understanding of animal behavior and ecology. They may work in remote areas, spending long periods in nature. The skills of a trapper can also contribute to wildlife management and conservation efforts, helping to maintain balanced ecosystems.
