Back a few years ago, the anti's wanted to sterilize our overabundant deer population rather than having government hunters cull them at night. They're more emboldened than ever. No one and nothing is safe in America right now.

Perhaps some of you should consult with Newt. Have him tell you what happened to his personal collection of footholds when New Jersey outlawed their possesion.

Yeah, that is how they do it. One group or type at a time. But, they are more emboldened and trying for more.

No different than hunters, demonizing other hunters because of how or what type of hunting they decide to do. No matter how legal that method of take is.

We need to stand together and fight with everything we have.

We truly are all in this together, since we are such a small segment of the population at large.

When you have members of Congress and the media suggesting we need to be reprogrammed, fighting is the next logical step.

I’ll buy all the super cheap traps I can get my hands on and then use all the rest of my time and resources getting it legalized again.

If scrap steel prices keep going up, one could always sell them for scrap. Probably worth more than the fur caught in them ? LOL grin

As mentioned, will become more damage control work for me.
Beaver, coon, coyote, badger, muskrat issues will always be around for my farmer friends.

Never made a dime off of any pheasant, deer, rabbit, or fish in my lifetime. Doing something I enjoy, getting access to some nice ground, and helping farmer friends has always been a good tradeoff for me. Access to lots of land and ponds, and they keep their trees, land, pets, fowl, farmground, and livestock safe. Im sure we will be able to find a way and will need the tools to do so to help out.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I live in a lawless part of New Mexico, you won't get convicted IF you know the right people. I've seen poachers, druggies get off, so if Iam killing animals that "they" want gone nothing will happen or not much. I would go to snares as they are invisible till you make a catch and dead animals don't move!

It would probably have to be a federal law and I believe several states wouldn't enforce it. Look at marijuana feds say its illegal and states keep making it legal. Either way I would keep on trapping if you can have same sex marriages and throw fire bombs at police, do millions of dollars of property damage while law enforcement has to stand by and watch your not going to tell me I can't trap. I guess this is where I would draw the line.

That's why it's important to be clear that there's no such thing as recreational trapping.


You ain't going to put this cat back in the bag. They have surveys here and in Canada that prove different. frown
