I trap beaver every day November through February. I love being in the swamp!
Forgiveness is just a prayer away.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ It's a "trappers" forum and trappers do more than just trap. When did we always have some who wonder why-o-why trappers are talking about stuff other than trapping on a trappers forum? Of course trappers talk about MORE than trapping! You suppose the old rendezvous men ONLY talked trapping? Of course not.
People who only want to see what they want to see are becoming more common place and have no standing in a free and open society. All of us must strive to remember any free society is built upon diversity, collaboration, and a HUGE dose of ethical tolerance.

I didn’t say they shouldn’t or couldn’t talk about it , I was merely answering why someone would be on a trapping site that doesn’t trap. As it turns out there are a few on here that do not trap.You can discuss whatever the rules allow. I will stand by my original statement .

As I ripen, I am slowing down. Used to run multi day long lines in Wy and Mt, then. come home to Ks and finish out the winter. Coyotes are my first love, but since the yote prices have joined the rest of them in the toilet, I am laying up a little more every year. Barely scratched the itch last year. Knew ahead of season that my kind of yotes here in NE Ks were gonna suck, so I did very little last season. First season I really didn't catch much since coming home from nam and the service in 1969. But will still scratch that itch again, would really like to go out of state again, while I am still able. Mind says yes, but body resists, especially after a few days on the line! lol

Why would you be on a trapping website, if you didn't ? Well let's take wissmiss (Nancy) for example. She may not trap but this site better for her being here. I'm not sure if I'm a trapper or not anymore, we'll see what the market does. I'm not selling all my traps just yet.

I run a short line every year. 10-15 coon sets with my kids and a dozen or so predator sets. This year I’m going to use some vacation time at work at set all my traps for a week and a half (30 dry land sets)

I trap. The last two years we had another baby each Spring. Trapping was still manageable with 6 kids. But once #7 came it was tough and then #8! I’m planning on trapping hard this year to make up for the last 2 winters, but as the kids get older they want to ice fish more. So I’ll try juggling the trapping and ice fishing this year and see how it goes. Everyone wants Dad all at once it seems. Lol
Cold as ice!

I shoulda been a bit clearer clintp. This site has always had a diversity of opinions cause people are diverse. That's what makes it so awesome here at TMan central. Blessings, Mark

Coyotes and mink here, some coon, some beaver. Winter guy, and been at it over 40 years. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
