Trappers: Conservation's "Black Sheep", or Unsung Heroes?

There was a time in history when the fur trapper was highly regarded in North America's wild woods. While I don't feel the modern trapper has lost his/her place in the great outdoor landscape, I have asked myself over and over again; where do we stand in the hierarchy of modern conservation?
