A Child's Christmas in Fairplay, Adair Co., KY The trapper's good fortune was cause for the whole family celebration in the old days out on 704, but the times, he says, have changed since then Click on headline for complete story and photo By Chris Bennett My Grandpa was a diehard outdoorsman, and he was from the old school. In the winter he earned money by trapping and selling furs. This photo was taken Christmas Morning 1977 by my mother. I am about three years old in the accompanying photo, and my sister, Tammy, was eight. When my "Grandpa" checked his traps that snowy morning he had caught this beautiful red fox. At that time I think a red fox pelt would bring $35-$50. In 1977 money that was a a nice little payday for a trapper. He was so excited he brought it to our home and my Mother took his photo. Judging from the look on my face, I think I might have been wondering if that, "Vermin" was still alive. Now, if I took a dead fox over to my Mother's house, she wouldn't let me in the door, much less take my photo by the Christmas Tree.
