I never caught a 1000 coon but I did stay In a Holiday In once.
But when I worked for NAFA I put up 5000 coon one year.. Most of them were skinned and all I had to do Is scrape and board.

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 Don't need to jog my memory. Lol. I know who you are and remember your pictures. That's what makes this thread weird for me and others. We know your capabilities so the fact your bothered by others motives looks like jealousy. I have the utmost respect for the trapping abilities of trappers like you, M.A., cottonwood, and others.

Catching coon when they’re worth nothing is entirely different than trapping them when they have brought a good return like LLL has .

If you were a thousand coon guy you may understand someone potentially claiming he was but never backing it up. It is not jealousy unless you are counting getting credit for something you may not have coming. Then you might call that envy. You know like envious a guy did not do something but got credit and was not scrutinized like anyone who has? Lol. Call it what you want. Doesn’t really matter. LLL

I think it's called marketing. Sure no one likes false advertising but it happens every day every where. If you'd like to warn us you don't believe someone call em out. Wish you'd have jumped in my fish stake informal demo at my tailgate spot, didn't realize you n skyler were standing there. You were doing a great job. No reason for me to say anything. Had to remind him to make a name for himself and not use the coon combine to sell instructions. He is good enough that he does not need to use my name and he agreed and has since corrected it.

Wish you'd have jumped in my fish stake informal demo at my tailgate spot, didn't realize you n skyler were standing there. Your "informal" fish stake demo was great and I enjoyed every bit of it. Thanks for sharing the information, I learned a lot and I appreciate your help.

Trapping on a big scale is one of those enterprises or businesses that does not deal with huge investments in assets, resources etc. Business owners that invest in retail, restaurants, farms etc. many times have millions invested, and obligations that come with that. When below cost of production seasons or years come, most still work hard to try and manage through the shortfalls so they can hold onto their assets for better years ahead. They juggle labor, payments, living and refinancing to make these things happen. Trappers, even large scale trappers may have less then 25k invested and they can choose to not use any of those assets and continue to work their other job or find another job etc. etc. For those that were used to catching 100s or thousands of animals say coons I can see why they opt for other options and it is easy to do. Also many large scale trappers trap road right of ways or public lands and there is not even much of investment in time to secure annual permissions. Not saying that staying home if a poor business plan, I am saying that the cost of sitting out a few years is not all that high, especially now with every firm looking for labor.

What does it mean when they say trapping is 90 per cent mentally ? Are they talk about numbers , I don't understand what they mean when say 90 per cent meantality It's more mindset and attitude. Trapping has a lot of physical work but you have to have the mindset/attitude to make yourself to put that next set in when your body tells you it wants to stop.

A POSITIVE mental outlook, ability to adapt, not get mentally burned out. Per all your posts Dave you will never understand it. YOU won't set a trap cause it might get stolen, a positive outlook says set it, make catches, if it does get stolen it's just a business expense and the positive guy just keeps going and sets more. It's hard to get into some people's head, but when I have something stolen, I don't let it phase me a bit, I can't, if you get mad and frustrated your head isn't in the game, and your not making quality sets anymore as your mind is elsewhere. The mental fatigue is very much an issue, repeating yourself with the same sets hundreds of times a day, no matter how bad of day your having, you find the good in it, always half full kind of guy.
