Was on Otter man or something like that trapping site and he got caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Everyone there mentioned this site and I was number 3110 and that had to be around '99 I guess. And just like Danny Clifton " i was more than 20 years younger than i am now" what a coincidence

Started lurking in about 2000 and was 54 then.
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!

I recall this site, and another by Graybeard, and those were the first two forums I think I ever joined. I don't remember what happened to Graybeard site but there were some of same folks on both. Newt, Buzz, there were some great guys helping me out. Jim Graybeard still exists. I've been a member there since around 2001. I haven't been active for at least ten years.
Eh...wot?

I was active on a PA hunting & trapping site and someone tipped me about Tman. I joined the PA site in 2001 and Tman sometime soon after that.
I know I was here at least a couple of years before the big crash of 2006.
Eh...wot?

Wow! I wasn't gonna say anything, Paul. But, I Think I must have found this place within a year or two of '99? Reading this thread, one of the first old handles to spring to mind was FTIH. I was a big fan of While E Coyote. I'm imagining my old friend, Sgt.W has, some time since, become lost to us? Isn't Stevie D of NJ still around? (Hey, Steve; I sold a Mk 1 for a cool £1,000! Still got another! ) Got on really well with a Guide from NY State. Typically, to me, NY conjured only images of sky scrapers! Good grief. We're all getting so Old now, Paul! LMBO!

I found this place as a 13 year old trying to learn as much as I possibly could about trapping, about 2003. I have learned so much from this place. I rarely post but read daily and look at the archives any time I am wanting to learn something. Thanks to all who put this together and keep it going

I was 26 years old back then, and full of vim and vinegar.

I believe back then your handle was Foxtail. Yep. And, I believe that I am now older than you were back then. And I can't for the most part trap any more.
