Good Morning Friends... I would like your honest opinions on something I did. I joined a Facebook group I believe was called “the trapline” , I like looking at what others are up to, and I’ve commented many times with no issues. So I was scrolling through and here’s a guy who is disabled (in a wheelchair) with his first coyote. There were 3-4 pictures including one with the obligatory baseball bat. I commented “ great job! But I think the non trapping community would appreciate it more without the picture with the bat” Needless to say, I got kicked... I don’t think my comment was out of line, I enjoy catch pictures like everyone else. But I don’t like the pictures with the club. I think it gives us trappers a bad look. Am I wrong here?

I’m not putting my nose in the air by any means.. I’m a trapper, I know what goes on. I’m just saying that with the horrible wrap trapping is getting, some things are better left unseen. The fact that the guy is in a chair doesn’t have much to do with it.

I think your thought behind it was OK. But, a better approach might have been to PM the guy.
I don't care how nice the hand soap smells, you should never walk out of the restroom sniffing your fingers.

Hey The Savage, Don't worry about it. We all need to watch what we put on the internet. I would have sent him a private message instead but your motive is a good one.

I don't think you said anything wrong. Seems to me like you were polite, positive, and encouraging all around. I don't see how anyone could take offense at what you said.
But most people thing I'm an abrasive cad so maybe my opinion isn't the most valuable.

I think we should all consider how nontrappers see what we do. I think a lot fewer folks would eat sausage if they watched it being made. The post on site now with the nose caught coyote is interesting to us, but the pic could be ammo for anti-trappers.IMHO

Is it amazing how we have tea total around people these days. Remember we have to be political correct. What BS. It is like a obscene phone call, people will listen to the hole call and then tell you how obscene it was, HANG UP. If you do not like what I am typing push DELETE. JMO

I make sausage. Made a big bunch last Sunday.
This isn't my site, I never paid a dime to use it, I enjoy it, so I will abide by the rules. Personally I'm not ashamed of what I do and have no desire to attempt appeasement of the anti's by hiding.

I like to read threads like this. I see there is quite a few who would bend over to keep the antis happy. Got to have some back bone.
