Yeah that Paul Dobbins would get an ear full from me !!! I'd mop the floor with him for sure... whistle whistle grin:

BUT, I have never had to do that because he always ships the Backbreaker and bait solution out promptly. Man that Backbreaker is good stuff too!

A guy might be able to "mop the floor" with Paul, but I am pretty sure it would not be worth the nervous "tic" you would develop every time you went and started your vehicle.
EOD does not just learn how to dismantle things. LOL

I sent him a message on Facebook the other day-

"HI Andy. I have purchased lure from you in Escanaba so I just wanted to let you know that your reputation is being trashed over on Trapperman. Might be in your interest to go over and read the four pages of comments."

His response - "Thanks for the heads up."

I know more about depression than I ever wanted to. Depressed people almost always take part in some form of escapism. They continue to take part in some activity or interest and concentrate on it to the detriment of other things they need to do. That can be almost anything from over eating, substance abuse, hoarding, to taking part in an activity like a sport or even hunting or trapping. Depressed people often focus on one or a few things instead of doing other things they need to do.

This does not excuse bad behavior, it explains it.

Depression doesn’t discriminate against only some aspects of your life. If you’re severely depressed, you dont even want to do things that you live. Trapping included, which it seems Andy is doing plenty of.

if pschyco babblers knew half as much as they think they do they would be able to cure a few of the mentally ill. the science is too new. they can diagnose some problems but beyond that they don't really have a clue

I suffered through a bout of depression in my early twenties, it was the darkest period I've ever experienced in my life. If you look at the context of what I was saying you'll see I wasn't defending Andy, I was getting at precisely what you are saying.

I do not wish to take sides in any of this thread and have stayed quiet, but feel I should address this opinion as it isn't always true and could be a dangerous way of thinking if dealing with a person with depression.
I had a good friend that became depressed. He was an avid shooter and even while fighting depression would come to the range almost every day to escape the demons that haunted his mind. In fact shooting with me was one of the very last things he did in this life before the demons got the best of him. While this man was shooting no one would have guessed the troubles he had, but all other aspects of his life had been greatly effected.
Again, I am not referring in any way to the context of this thread, just pointing out that the information above is not always the case. This misinformation could be a matter of life or death if dealing with someone with depression.
Sorry for getting off topic, the comment just hit close to home.
