Jonathan Bodfish said his grandfather could set a trap as cunningly as the oldest Indians, and that the duck or the goose that ventured to come within gunshot of him, rarely escaped being shot. Wolf Neck, so named because it was the resort of these animals, was about half a mile from Joseph Bodfish's house, and there he set his traps. Once he narrowly escaped losing his own life. Seeing a large wolf in his trap, he incautiously approached with a rotten pine pole in his hand. He struck and the pole broke in his hand, and the enraged beast spring at him with the trap and broken chain attached to his leg. Mr. Bodfish stepped suddenly to one side, and the wolf passed by him. Before the wold could recover, Mr. Bodfish was beyond his reach. This trap is preserved in his family as an heir-loom.
