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

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.
