Didn't one of the 3 or 4 MN Associations get a bunch of money from somewhere to try to get this passed? It rings a bell but can't remember all the details.

Yes Les,Snowy shows up whenever something anti MN. comes on. We have seen this before.
Must be MN,envy on his part.
I am pretty sure some probably do cross the line and break the law.But I doubt it is a one way street. A law breaker is just that--someone who can't follow the laws. I doubt it is just some Minnesotans that are that way.
Tom

^ just truth and facts. Yes, maybe not all bad from mn but those that break the law and are slab outdoorsman have given mn outdoorsman a bad name. There has been many on here that have posted about your states issues of sportsman. Maybe when things like this are posted it might help to make you people better when coming to other states.

Wasn't long ago one from mn said, they hunt geese and just let them lay when they hunt out of state.

A slob is a slob,no matter where they are from.
Tom

Yep, thats what we all do Snowy, just run around from state to state blasting stuff and leaving it lay. Good God!

^ maybe you as an honest person can make the difference for the ones in your state to become better as an out of state outdoorsmen.

And yes, I meant slob, just not as perfect as those from mn. They are perfect in their own eyes I guess.

For the record I support NR trapping, but wante to comment on the trial basis. Would it be like the new rules on break away devices on snares? If you got your letter explaining the regulation change recently the last sentence is classic. "There will be opportunity for additional public comment WHEN this regulation becomes permanent". How about taking comments and considering them before making the rule permanent?

Snowy,you have a habit of anti Minnesotan posts.
Did someone in Minnesota hurt your feelings at some time?
Tom

No, some great people from mn but have seen enough law breaking and slobs that are in the outdoors from there. I had an old friend that called today that said he bought a house in the cities. We just absolutely hate to see them here in mt I couldn't even imagine being right next door to your state. WOW.

Just posting the truth and facts what land owners have told me and what I see.

I would hope you try to make your image better for mn outdoorsman instead of saying there isn't an issue. All of you honest trappers and outdoorsmen from mn could make a difference if you wanted too.

funny ive never heard of anyone from minnesota crossing borders illegally. i sure remember finding dakota traps set in minnesota along the western border back in the day though. the one time i trapped south dakota rats with my son, every land owner was glad to see us, and we were routinely stopped along the roads and asked to trap "their" rats for them.

There were guys from MN trapping SD for rats as residents and then filtering up into ND in the spring. Some were investigated for falsifying residency. Some where on here. They claimed they were just trying to help too.

Or possibly your butt?

Boy this pop corn feast is getting more and more salty every night.


Those Mn boys all give their shot birds to Mr Culvert every night up here at least.

It's set in Statute it will take an act by the legislature to change it.

"popcorn is a winter snack. It's grilling season for crying out loud" Crying and whining what many of us choose to do.

Bryce

Bryce,popcorn is good any time,as is ice cream.No microwave popcorn here.
Tom

mjm,,,i never said i was there to help anyone. i said we were ASKED to help. i do remember one minnesotan that claimed residency the next year because they own property in south dakota, and he used to be on here. no, theres nothing right about that. so, what weve decided here is that minnesotans, a few, sneaked into dakotas after rats, and that dakotans sneaked into minnesota after mink. i never sneaked anywhere for anything, and dont appreciate being lumped together with those that did. ive also never left a goose behind anywhere, or left trash behind, like alot of our nr ice fishermen do here in minnesota.

Newsflash for ya fossil2, residents and non-residents alike leave trash behind whether it's ice fishing or camping or just flicking cig butts out the window. You just effectively lumped all non-residents together as litterbugs after saying you don't appreciate be lumped together with slobs.

i said ALOT, not all, nr ice fishermen leave trash. i did not lump them all together.

Well now you have.
