trapping
Fur hunter's livelihood
Trapping is the practice of catching animals in traps, typically for fur, pest control, or wildlife management: He learned trapping from his grandfather.
The plural trappings refers to outward signs, equipment, or accessories associated with a particular role or status: all the trappings of success, the trappings of royalty.
This sense suggests visible markers that may be more decorative than substantive.
