"Over the past 15 years of traveling the country and running my businesses, I've been fortunate to meet a lot of great people. Scott Welch is always quick to greet with a smile, and we quickly became friends. He's an unassuming guy, and at first glance does not come across as one of the top predator trappers in the country. However, I'd argue that Scott is in that top 1% that truly understands predators and what it takes to consistently catch them. In this information age where there's a lot of books and DVDs on the market, this book stands in a league with some to the greats by Pedersen, Dobbins, and O'Gorman. Scott doesn't brag about his abilities, or his accomplishments. I quickly recognized his modesty as I read Predator Trapping Theories and Techniques. A confident trapper is a successful trapper, and it's refreshing to read the words of a trapper who is confident in his predator trapping abilities, and is skillful in communicating that knowledge."
