While at the NTA last weekend I talked to a guy that was out with a thermal scope last year and would see 300 to 400 coon a night with it. 1000 coon should be a cake walk.

Most of the time especially with coons and I see the high numbers I don't think so much of skill being the factor as the work and hours required.

He is the man LLL. He is getting up in the years but fit as a fiddle. No internet for him. Keeps a low profile.

1,000 coon is impressive.

But, it's a lot more impressive when you're getting a $20 average, rather than...say a $10 average.

It's very impressive when you can make real money during times of high competition.

I never really considered 1000 coon a season a great feat , especially since DPs. I know several who do it in Louisiana out of a boat.
Even blind sets and snares on trails going under the road are easy to average 25 a day.

It's solid work ethic to do it though.

Lol

lol that’s funny. I am not that old and I am still in fighting condition. If the money was still there I would still be trapping a couple thousand coon a season . LZlL

Especially with no competition. I piled my numbers when there were four others trapping in the ditch that I was.trapping. LLL

You appear jealous LLL. what's the point?

Catching the numbers is one thing,putting them all up and doing a good job like LL does is quite another.

Are you saying you are the only one with competition???

I agree Boco, anyone who puts up the numbers like him or PSB put in the time most can't or won't.

I like Larry. I wish I could have had more time to talk to you and Wayne at the gate the other day when I was volunteering. But I'm trying to see the point here also. It looks like jealousy on the interwebs. I made the same comment to another good friend of mine when he pointed out a T-shirt I was wearing this weekend. I asked him why he was so jealous knowing (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) well he has nothing to be jealous about

I have nothing to be jealous about Chad. I just would hate for people, especially kids to find out there was no such thing as Santa. LLL

Besides you were a member on the other site when I was challenged any time I claimed to have done something.why would anyone else be exempt?Tough crowds in the trapping community. I can remember having to write the date in the dirt on my pickup to prove I was catching a truck load of coon in January daily. I am sure you remember that. I could put the picture up here again if it jogs the memory. LLL

The bigger question is ----- How many coons does it take to get to heaven?

I know you don't. And neither does the other fella I'm talking about. But if you sit back and look from the outside it comes across that way.

I have an off topic question for you LLL I'll Facebook messenger you

A truthful number would be my guess. Lll

Sir, good on you! On a good year for me I’m good for 100 coon , the work involved in trapping and processing 1k is extremely impressive! Dang if u need help running your line I’m your huckleberry! Would love to be a part of that! Again ,I’m for one, am extremely impressed!

I will agree to that.
