Hey, I wanted to share and say that although many of you here in this Tman community have been around the forum have been here awhile, I have not.
I realize that a newbie is viewed at first with raised eyebrows and a healthy degree of skeptisim. That said, I feel that I have been welcomed, informed, and intrusted with personal and sensitive information...secrets you could say. Everything from coon cubby sets, predator rifles and loads, to geographical information on gun and trapping states, you guys have been gracious, and I thank you.

Anyway, good on you guys, and thank you again for the welcome.

Scott

You've been around a bit longer than I have. But I agree. I've got a lot of help and good info from these guys. So ditto on the thank you trapperman brothers. oh and sisters.

Not sure I'd consider 6 years a Newbie, lol. If someone is serious about wanting to learn here, there's more info here than you could even imagine, and most are willing to share it if you ask nicely.

Hello Scott, Ed from Northern NY also.
Been here a while now and don't plan on leaving anytime soon.
You want to know something , you can usually get someone to try and help you
Good Luck










good Luck

Really just a bunch of know it alls trying to impress every one else with how much stuff they know haaaaaaaaaaaaaaha welcome to the forum.

Well Yote, You are right to a degree.. shortly after joining I went off grid, tossed the smart phone and computer. Work demanded I get a phone and so here we are.

I don’t post often but Im on the site daily. Lots of knowledge and a great bunch of guys.

I have learned a lot abut trapping from this site . But there is a wealth of knowledge about nearly everything you might want to know .It is like an A to Z book of how to do things ,where to find things ,answers to questions that someone has prior experience with .And of course the trapping info covers all of the different aspects of trapping .If you are willing to learn this is worth spending time on .

Well men, we have our work cut out for us now. The rookies above are gonna get soft on us if we don't start mistreating them. Think of it as character building. No name calling, just some words which they may find unsettling.

...you sure got a pretty mouth

Thanks from a real newbie. The first time I saw Tman was probably 2010. I was to chicken to get on here, and was still on dialup. I’ve learned a lot over the years, and appreciate all you guys being patient with some of us new guys. Not may people where I live to be friends with. I feel at home here. Thanks a million!

Why thank you Savell, I think so to.

Oh brother

Was that banjos? That wasn't a jackrabbit squealing.


Hey I think we all realize we were newbies at one point in time ourselves. Some of went through times when it was darn hard to get advice our help on the line too. I am no expert but all too happy to help out a newbie. It's how we keep the tradition alive and passed on solidly into hands of the next generations.

No doubt this forum is priceless to anyone starting out or wanting to learn! I don't post much but I never miss a day that I'm not reading and learning something!

After a while it becomes a Family, Glad you Stuck!
