We get requests to be friended from legitimate people but get some that are more than a little suspicious, I think to be avoided, some sort of scam maybe, infiltrating? You can tell a good one, pics of fish, deer, bobcats etc. and then some come from girls or young women. They have basically no info, maybe a pic, maybe not, no profile with anything about them. Think they are up to no good so we delete. Wonder if others get that get this and are concerned about who is "watching" gathering information for something other than doing good for our industry.

I friend all the young ladies with no profile info, I thought they really liked this fat old man. Crap you crushed my ego. I even keep sending them money to travel here but they kept loosing it at the church bingo games


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

There are a couple pics of me with raccoons, flying squirrels, etc on thefacebook page. Each one has people asking what we do with animals we catch. *shrug*. I have nothing to do with Facebook.

Bummer. Hate to be the first to bust your bubble, but somehow I don't believe that us old fat guys are all that rare. I think the supply exceeds the demand by a wide margin.

I have not trouble attracting woman in my day job. I don't need the internet. The faint skunk smell and the fish bait residue on my hands make me appealing to most women.
Though on a serious note, I think that securing this site to "real trappers" is a concern that we need to be aware of. This site is an awesome resource for any new or old trapper.

Speaking of young ladies, today I saw more nice looking young ladies than I have ever seen in my life. We took the family to the

county fair and they had a good country and western band. I also never saw so many gals in cowboy boots. My 16 and 18 year old

grandsons had a great time. I got to wondering why I never noticed the chicks at the county fair when I was 18 and then it dawned on

me. When I was 18 I never saw anything but the beer tent. Entirely different era. The funniest thing of the day is when I went with

my 3 year old grandson in the bumper cars. He jumped behind the wheel, looked me in the eye very seriously and said, "I'm driving!"

That's a good way to put it, weight at 210 +,the + left to the imagination, plus what? Potentially leaves a lot of wiggle room. I could be 210+, 215+, 220+ or 230 + and + more on double whopper days but could also just be 190+ a bunch, which is not untrue. I don't think the Facebook requests by girls are made by those interested in my body. I really don't know where the motive for these Facebook friend request resides, difficult to tell. Very odd, they each appear to be a newly created person with absolutely no history except that at times they do have friends in some other trappers we know.

In 1961, the year I graduated from high school, I weighed 175. Since then I gained a few pounds. I now weigh 178. My family hates me

because of my diet, which pretty much consists of mega-stuffed Oreos and root beer floats.

Joshua, 1978 was a great year. We celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary. My muskrats brought $5.75, mink $20, raccoon $40, and red

fox $85. My fur check was over $2500 that year.
