Jim Hautala, AKA "Trapper Jim" is a retired teacher who lived along the lower Kuskokwim River running a dog team, fish camp and eventually a trapline. Jim now traps out his backdoor with his twin sons Carlton and Kendrick in the 3.2 million acres we call the Tanana Flats. He's caught it all and has real appreciation for the out-of-doors. Jim also opens a few jars of homemade lure in the studio - Yum!
