"Everything has a soul" I have a hard time believing that bunch of crabgrass in my yard has a soul, but I'm just a dummy that believes in science -- you know the stuff that eradicated small pox, eliminated wide scale outbreaks of polio, measles, pneumonia, dysentery, malaria etc., etc., - oh and V.D. so what do I know............... the mike

Paul. I want to thank you for sharing the letter. It is very important for the younger trappers and a reminder to us seasoned trappers. How irrational the anti trapper is. Cult like. Also extremely dangerous. That is why a lot of the animal rights groups where list as domestic terrorist. Very important to take the time to vote in elections. Research your candidates

My impression also Patrice, and I'm picturing a purple stripe in her hair, and lip piercing.

You should have asked him/her, If a wild animal was attacking a human, who gets the club?
Trophies for everyone!
All meat comes from the grocery store, where no animals were harmed.

On the cover of The Fur Taker magizine every month says it best "The cruelest thing we can do to wildlife is fail to manage it. People like this speak nothing about an animal starving or freezing to death by mange or suffering from distemper. They know nothing about livestock deprivation, roads and woodlands flooded out by beavers, fox and raccoons ravaged by rabies or pets disappearing. They won't acknowledge that the vast majority of State departments of wildlife support trapping as a means to maintain healthy populations of the animals we harvest, let alone the important data collected from trapper activities every season. If they really had strong beliefs to the welfare of animals, it's unfortunate they don't educate themselves, but that seems to the case with so many these days - ignorance. Thanks for sharing it Paul; good reminder to take a kid trapping!

I've tried maybe twice to talk sense into people like that. Then I gave up. It's an uphill battle you can't fix it.

And it had no clue what this site was about? Reading and comprehension is so missing in today’s educational system.
I wonder if my trapping deeds were retro active? Did the bad stuff in life that happened to me happen because “life” knew that I would trap later in life? Or was that for trapping as a kid? What about before trapping as a kid and breaking my wrist playing football? What about the Docs saying I’d never be able to play sports because of some issue I had when I was a baby? I have so many questions now...
If I keep trapping until I die, is that why I die? Do non-trappers (non-murderers) live forever?
I may not be able to sleep tonight. These thoughts have me really wanting to stare a caught coyote down the barrel of my .22 revolver and decide if the pull of the trigger knocks a few years off my life now. Does getting paid to remove a few critters add more heartache and misery to life? Maybe if I paid someone for every critter caught I could add years back or even break even on the taking of a critters life.
Thanks Mr.Dobbins for what I’m sure will be a sleepless night now...

If they like animals so much, why do they eat their food?

Huh. Questions the existence of coincidence but believes in karmic causality.

I have seen some fishing videos where the comments were even more ridiculous. The comments were chastising the anglers after they released the fish by saying that they took the fish away from their families and caused them much fear and discomfort. One of the videos was a young boy who was extremely excited while catching a lake trout through the ice and the other was about a muskie that was caught and released through the ice. I sure hope all the fish recovered happily and returned safely to their families. (sarcasm font)


I'm just happy to be here! Today I'm as young as I'll ever be and and older than I've ever been before!

All of us are dinosaurs in a land who will turn to dust and 10,000 years from now aliens from the planet Nendor, that capture earthlings in the not so big cosmic battle of 2066, will put our encrusted bones and 550's in a museum with little labels under the specimen that reads: "they lived 1,000,000 years ago" anyway,

so I say we just trap like it's 1999!
cool
