Today's tale is about Moose McBain and Moose's two adopted sons, Kim and Perry. Moose was a trapper by trade, using a unique trap, considered rather old fashioned among other trappers - but Moose wouldn't want to use anything else. It's called a Lariat trap. An animal steps into the noose of the rope hidden on the ground, and when the trap is sprung, the animal is swung into the air, dangling from the end of the rope.
