Thinking back to to the begginings what was the average age of all those who started this joint, I am thinking 40 ???

Low 30s here


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

I was 30 in 99.

I was 54 in 99. I don't remember how I found T-Man, but I am glad I did.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I found this site shortly after it got rolling. I believe at that time some cat lady was a popular target for jokes lol. Great lady! I was late in life getting into the hunting trapping scene. This site was one of my greatest resources. I was 25 years of age when I came across this bunch of rough necks. Now many years later I visit the site often with one or more of my six daughters. Did not see that one coming back then!

Dang it, why did you mention she who shall not be named. You know that whole global warming thing, that's how we got global warming.

Buzzy its good to know you are still vertical.
Glad you posted, there are a lot of us you could share your trapping knowledge & experience with
that would benefit us greatly.
Hope you are fairing well.
The end of September Im sure Paul could use some help manning “command central” in Smithfield.

35 I think, not sure when I joined but that's about right.

The exchange of trapping information was on a different level then compared to now. Some real good guys died, others left altogether, and others got tired of the crap and quit posting to just lurk and PM. Those really were the good ol days.
