we all know about the leggets, and phil brown....fantastic fox trappers in their own right. but the best ...hands down was Samson. 300 in one night.

That's pretty good on a 24 hour check.

I don't think so. Yes, he caught a bunch but he didn't finish them. lol

Commentary:
Foxes, or jackals, are common and gregarious in that country.
It is not hinted that Samson collected them alone; he might have employed several hands in this work.
It is not said he collected them all in one day; he might have employed several days, as well as many persons, to furnish him with these means of vengeance.

the word שועלים shualim, here translated foxes, signifies also handfuls, Ezekiel 13:19, handfuls of barley; if we leave out that one letter ו vau, which has been inserted or omitted elsewhere, almost at pleasure. No less than seven Hebrew MSS. want that letter here, and read שעלים shealim . Admitting this version, we see that Samson took three hundred handfuls or sheaves of corn, and one hundred and fifty firebrands; that he turned the sheaves end to end, and put a firebrand between the two ends in the midst; and then, setting the brands on fire, sent the fire into the standing corn of the Philistines. The same word is now used twice in one chapter, ( Ezekiel 13:4, Ezekiel 13:19;); in the former verse signifying foxes, in the latter handfuls: and in 1 Kings 20:10, where we render it handfuls, it is αλωπεξι, foxes, in the Greek version."

Badly singed.

ha ha ha ha........

he kept them for the live market

Samson isn't the man, he don't hold a candle to Phil Brown or Ed Medvetz. Bonified!

Samson never caught a 1,000 fox single handed, poured enough concrete to cover a small city and then ran to New Mexico to take home the World Coyote Trapping title . . . all before lunch.

Numbers are hard work that's it, Come trappin where the numbers are few and meet some "Super Trappers" that pull down 50 where they are almost extinct now.

Snowpa, putting up numbers of anything almost extinct sounds like poor trapping ethos. Skim the cream

Keep that up til they are extinct. Good show.

If you buy into the "educated fox" belief, where the animal has proven uncatchable by most trappers and their techniques, maybe the "best" could be determain by the man who can consistantly put those pelts on boards.

his initials are P.B. in this part of the country with out a doubt

We have very few since mange killed them all, never will see them like before again

X 2

If I had to name one man it would certainly be Phil B. too. I doubt there is a man who works harder than he has. Has he slowed down at all yet?-not just talking about his trapping work.

Its just a word to get a point across . Don't get your panties in a bunch

Glad you caught that I think . Skim the Cream and get rid of those ethos
