Just saw where someone was saying RIP Oscar Cronk. I have not confirmed, so does anyone know anything about him passing away? Clint Locklear had an interview with him a few years back, and I believe he was still trapping some then.
Evidently true. He must have been near 90.

I’m thinking a little older than that. He had a good long run, that’s for sure! We should all be so lucky!
I heard he was going down hill. Sorry to hear!

Someone said he was 94 or 95. Long Maine wilderness life for sure.
I am certain he was in to his ninties. Sold his business to Pete Richards. I regret not visiting him in the early 1990’s. I was up there trout fishing ,was only 30 miles or so away. His lures were some of the first I used. In the early seventies, good stuff. You could call there and actually talk to him. I still have some of his lures. His books are very good. He had no children which is sad.
