If I remember right he was from New Brunswick. trapperkevin, 2nd post since 2006, I'd say you are the definition of lurker! But nothing wrong with that! MoSam, you were one I remembered from the beginning! Missouri had quite a strong representation in the early days. I don't remember when it all actually began, but I know I started trapping and using the internet at close to the same time. I know it was within the year preceding a Columbia, MO NTA convention. Happy trapping! ScottW

I think my husband, Drifter, was on Otter Creek. I didn't show up until 2004 and at that point Tman chat room was where it was at. It was an IRC chat, (Internet Relay Chat) and most people entered the chatroom using Pirch, and had add-ons such as Cat Ninja. Paul, still using the bvr1 handle, Wolfer, rayA, Drifter, Cotton, Bogmaster and I think Iowaminker were all mods. I'm sure there were others. Other than the many names already mentioned, I remember Nutoy (Andy) and Bayou (Daryl). Weakspring. Young kid that went by Ryan. JerryD. Gwen (but I don't remember what her handle was). Jtrapper. Dannyc. Not sure if Fishguts was in the chat but I know he was active on the forum back then. Oh I'm sure there's lot of others I'm forgetting.

Some of the names I remember we're Neil, an older gentleman from NC, Yancy, who,I think was from CA, and Ranger, who I remember being from Canada. I believe it was Ranger from Canada that made my trapping business cards for me many, many years ago. I think M Scat was involved in it also. That's way back.

GritGuy trapper G Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 8,857 Magna, Utah	I came on just a bit after the Tman Chat developed, remember all these names and more, Bob (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) was always cranky with everyone, met a lot of you people at the NTA conventions when I was bringing out my squeaker units. Most were really fascinated about my bobcats and coyotes I brought along the second and third year. Lots of those people went to different forums cause they either got banned or decided the rules to harsh for them here, then most of their forums quite. Was quite a few long term subjects discussed for weeks quite a reading if you keeping up on them. some not even related to trapping, which I believe is why the trapping only forum here was opened to keep it all under one area. Met many good people some who are still friends with me and I them thru the many years here, Slim, MsCat, JTrapper Pete, Mark S, Ken, some I have not seen for a long time, others drop me a note once in a while saying they met me at convention time, those were wonderful and very fun times ! Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

When was that? 2003. I miss Bob (last name not allowed). His Kansas cat trip write ups were great. Must be a number of us that have passed.
