  Fur trapper - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A fur trapper is a person who is involved the capture of wild mammals for their fur.
Fur harvest by trapping is the most effective way of controlling predator species.
This kind of trapper commonly makes the animal suffer, like using a shotgun, a knife, beheading the animal, knocking out the animal and letting it bleed, or simply leaving the catch in the trap until some other predator comes along and rips it to shreds.

 Fur trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The fur trade (also called the Indian trade) was a huge part of the early history of contact in North America between European-Americans and American Indians (now often called Native Americans in the United States and First Nations in Canada).
European traders and trappers explored the continent and established relationships with native communities, hoping to obtain the best furs and pelts—beaver was especially prized—for European markets.
Fur trade played a vital role in the development of Siberia, the Russian Far East and the Russian colonization of the Americas.

Soon, the more privileged military officers and the residents of Mendota, became disturbed at the life style of the residents of the squatters camp, most of whom were refugees from the ill-fated Selkirk Colony in Manitoba.
They were especially disturbed about the activities of a notorious, though popular, retired fur trapper whose talents had been turned to moonshining, Pierre "Pig's Eye" Parrant.
This is when Pig's Eye Parrant's tavern was the watering hole for rivermen serving on Louis Robert's steamboats, and the population consisted of fur trappers, Native Americans, discharged soldiers, and lots of other folks with itchy feet and lofty dreams.

Some claim it was named for Baptiste Brown, a French-Canadian fur trapper who arrived in 1827, while others claim that Baptiste Brown was an alias for Jean-Baptiste Chalifoux.
The first recorded visit to Browns Park was in 1825 by William Ashley and a group of fur trappers who floated down the Green River through Brown's Hole in bull boats made from hides.
After that, many fur trappers and mountain men visited Brown's Hole; the list included Kit Carson, Joe Meeks, Jack Robinson, the Ceran St. Vrain party from Taos, New Mexico, who spent the winter of 1827-28 in Brown's Hole, and the Alexander Sinclair party who wintered there in 1831-32.
