I know, click bait title. Just wanted to fill in everyone who has followed me on Instagram or YouTube. Mid January I had a big wake up call that forced me to end my bobcat trapping season a month early. It helped me realize what's important in life, and what's not. Social media is a great resource and is great for old and new trappers, but for me it was taking over my life. I was getting too worried about views and likes. Worried about getting good content instead of just having fun. The time spent on social media could have been used building my relationship with my family. Because of this, I have deleted my Backcountry.sassn Instagram account and will no longer be making YouTube videos. My past videos will still be up, but I wont be making any new ones.

I will still be trapping every season, just wont be sharing it on social media. Thanks to everyone who watched them and supported me with my trapping.


If traps work like the Antis say......I would have no fingers.

Watched a few of your videos. Nice country


Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

Totally understand. Maybe you could take us along here on Trapperman. I deleted FB years ago and hardly ever get on TikTok…everything was getting deleted, lol. I’ll post some catch pictures on IG and pick others brains on there. Even found a new bait and lure maker on there and been trying his stuff. But I can see where social media can consume someone.
