I have not been contacted to authorize a contest. All contests must be authorized. If it hadn't been going on so long before I saw it, I would have deleted it.

I would think that going on to someone's site to post a contest, it would be good manners to ask if a contest would be okay. There are pitfalls to some contests, and the site owner may be at risk.

Good on you KSLongliner.

I thought the offer was generous but asking outright for pictures of minors should not be allowed. Maybe it’s just me but it does seem odd. I know I have posted this up to the top I figured if other people were going with it and you sir didn’t take it down I figured I might as well. That’s the real reason I didn’t enter

EXACTLY!

My apologies on not seeking permission for posting a contest. I shouldve consulted with Paul first before doing so. Im not here for any recognition or to get any pats on the back, simply using this platform to easily reach out to young trappers.

Asking for outright pictures of minors? Pictures were asked to be posted as a rule for this contest, 1) to share awesome trapping stories, 2) So People cant fake being a young trapper, to try to win traps. In otherwords its proof your a kid and you trap! The fact that this is being twisted into something it is not, IS WRONG and I have a major problem with that!
If I am taking the time to give away and ship 3 doz traps for FREE, I certainly want to know its going to a young trapper and not a scam!

I certainly hope this ridiculous allegation doesnt take away from the remainder of the contest and giving back to the youth.

No good turn goes unpunished. SMH

wow... loved the stories from the young startup trappers it is so refreshing to know and remember how we all began to trap. but i will agree with the Boss rules are rules and i hope things can be worked out for the good. Merry Christmas too everyone...
