The historic post of Moose Factory on James Bay is still a centre of Canada's fur trade. The camera follows Cree trapper George McLoed as he goes out from the post to visit his trap lines. Bivouacing in the open, in bitter cold, he traps mink and beaver, skillfully skinning the animals and drying the rich pelts. Back at the post, he sells his furs to the Hudson's Bay trader.

My grandfather was a Cree trapper around this time, and in this area. Very interesting glimpse at what his life may have been like.

George didn't get all those kids from shaking hands with his missus.🙂

Flat out love these old trapping hunting video's.

@kevinmoore774 2 года назад

The trapper in the film is George Moore and not George McLeod as the narrator calls him.

1942. A long,long time ago. No snowmobiles and tobacco was a necessity. Those were the days.

What an amazingly interesting insight into history. Sure prices now are just a bit higher than back then, but probably not much. No conibears or snares back then. Rather funny, the racist remarks about the "white children". Guess the funniest thing is that the native children aren't treated much better now. The truth is God will have judgement day for us all.

@mikehagan4320 Год назад

In this video it was said that the pelts are to be sold only to licensed buyers. I'll bet the Natives Historically were Ripped off by Hudson bay. When there is No Competition by location and by Law. This puts the seller at a Complete Disadvantage. Best Wishes! M.H.

@@mikehagan4320 Was there a great discrepancy in prices paid at these outposts as compared to more open markets further south or west?
