I don't know if I can get it from that one clue, Ace. Was he from New York? If so then I know. If not I'll need other clues.

'Yup Old Coon, NY is his home state. Another clue: he was/is well known for hunting lures as well as trapping lures. Ace

Yes coyotero, Pete Rickard is the guy. Just recently Oscar Cronk wrote a book about pete titled "The Legendary Fox." I'm not sure if Rickard's trapping lures are still being sold or only his famous Indian Buck Lure. Anyone know?

I remember reading a lot about them back 25 years or so ago but i'll hvae to think on it a moment. Meantime while i'm thinking, could that have been Keith Gregerson?

The Groom name doesn't ring any bells with me, it isn't the name I was racking my brain for. Thanks for contributing coyotero! :grin: Ace
