No intentional sticks in the jaws for me.

Didn't figure it was just me being humorous
Next tip will b a small pebble setting at pivot point of jaws to help bed the trap solid.

I still stand by my first response.
This is a terrible idea.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Looks and sounds like a ridiculous idea.

I never asked you or anybody to follow me, just let me advise you and provide recommendations to help you guys since incompetence seems to run deep in NM. Remember my state wasnt the one that lost public land trapping, LTAHA actually knows what its doing. Tight lines!

Quit "Methin around" and answer the question, who was the "legend", and how the (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) could this possibly help ANYONE actually catch something??? Or did ya think you came up with something new and post it before actually thinking it through?

I think there is a flat tool that you can put under the pan to allow you to pack dirt around the pan. The tool keeps you from firing it. You still need something to keep the dirt from getting under your pan. But. You have to remove the tool. When finished. That’s the only way I can think of doing that! This might be what he is thinking about. I don’t know.

Think your talking about the Mitlyng Trap Bedder? Used to use the Trapper Caps but the mitlyng would be a bit more universal though you can still get some loose stuff under the pan, which really wouldnt be a problem unless you get a hard rain followed by a freeze before you can rework the bed.

Please explain how you have been instrumental in the success of the LTAHA?

Or are you just riding on the coat tails and not contributing anything other than criticism of those actually trying to contribute


Gotta live up to the nickname...

To be quite honest I'd like to know the full extent of you working with government. I'm not one to pry but u have brought it up numerous times and I do believe an explanation is needed. I'd also be interested in what you do for a living were your income comes from. U have avoided these questions in the past and it makes it look suspicious. Especially when u come in with all the ideas to " save trapper" from themselves. You want validity to you trying to lead trapping to a new future I think some answers would be justified. If not I think a good explanation is in order.

They had to go everywhere by pirogue, and trapped marsh, swamp, forest, muddy bottom, sandy bottom, the list goes on and on.

Aix's post breaks it down perhaps better for some, I dont use it all the time but it will be in my toolbox for a later date.


I kind of doubt LA led the world in trapping. Some Northern folks would have something to say about that. I think folks in Hudson Bay area and the Rockies have done more for the trapping and fur industry than your Louisiana guys. But hey, you seem to know it all so come on up and show us how it's done.
I'm betting that stick trick wouldn't work so well up here with snow.

No trav, he is a highly important government related official grin grin so important he lives off of coon meat and always talks about being on a budget

I'm also curious Matt, what is it that you do? Other than criticizing trapping organizations

We (hunters and trappers) are all in it together. It doesn’t matter what your targets are or what state you live in. It’s very similar to gun ownership. Banning of one type is bad for owners of all types, and the antis will never, ever be satisfied. Just because they get something banned doesn’t mean they’ll stop. Quite the opposite in my opinion. They see their twisted victories as a reason to keep pushing. They’re well funded, well organized, and often times making decisions based on emotions. A setback in New Mexico is a shame and a potential future threat for Louisiana trappers and hunters.

I agree with that. I think the organization is in good hands and run by people that actually care about what they’re doing.

So you holier than thou trappers-tell me-what is the benefit of ridiculing a greenhorn who is interested in promoting trapping and the trapping lifestyle?
Keep on alienating,some so called trappers are the best tools the antis have I swear.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Boco, there is a right and a wrong way to promote trapping and the trapping lifestyle. The wrong way is by making snide remarks and criticizing those that have been fighting extremely hard to maintain that way of life in their state. That is what Matt is doing and that is where I find an issue. There’s nothing at all wrong with being passionate about an issue, but don’t talk down to others on a situation you know nothing about until you have a little skin in the game
