This is not referring to this site, forum, or moderators…

But there are antis moderating other sites that are gun/hunting related sites.
Just got a thread shut down because of my profile pic someone took offense too. It’s a pic of a howling coyote in a trap. To be honest you can barely see it, but if you click on it I guess it enlarges. I did my best to explain trapping and that the original thread was about hogs being shot with a particular weapon. It wasn’t even about trapping, lol. They took offense with the video (hunting thread on their site) because it showed killing. Then when that didn’t work they took offense with the profile pic.
Y’all just be careful out there…plenty of supposed hunters, but anti’s in disguise. I got a message I’m not supposed to basically defend myself because it will upset the public.

Ok rant over…

Profile pic…

Interesting stuff I wish the antis could have their own world where no hunting or trapping or anything took place so they could see what it was like

Doesn't sound like much of a "gun/hunting related" site.

There are times that I wish I lived in a simpler time.

Agree! Sounds like a site you need to get away from.

YOU BARBARIAN!!!

I'd out them for the hypocrites they are by all means possible. Name names. Call them out. Sick and tired of cowing to these whackos.

Cool Pic.

I can see why antis would be disturbed though.
I mean, look at all the blood on its foot and the dislocated shoulder from 3 days of pulling.

Name the site!

I know what you mean. Not necessarily antis, but people who think they are superior to anyone else and feel the need to berate people to make themselves feel the important.

I know for a fact there's a major website that monitors us specifically. I've actually been sent some screenshots from here where members where saying some....off color things that made perfect race baiting...well bait.
And Christ is only y'all knew how I easy it was for someone now days with a lil computer know how to hack into sites and personal devices.. no to mention just the easy it is to get into and monitor these sites and groups.

...the antis arnt much harder though. Unless they've ramped up in the last year or so since I stopped alot of my shenanigans

But on a side note alot of other outdoorsmen seem to have a tier/ ranking list and seems trappers and houndsmen are always at the bottom....still above commercial guys though..

Remember when the MTA had our convention at Bass pro. Had a lil booth set up and everything, the looks you get from a majority of them polo wearing white collar outdoorsy yuppies even just talking to other hunters in general,trapping is one of those things that as a whole is...idk .. at the same time it's weirdly acceptable for soem.of those folks who look down on us to do it ( even if they think its cruel) if their loosing money from coon in the feeder or something coyotes go there prized buck or something , o then it all razor blades and lemon juice..type of folk make me sick

There are those that fly fish that believe they are the purist of the pure. They use feathers and fur. Their is one fly they use that has to be muskrat fur. Now you better not mention hunting or trapping around tem . thats for sure.

Tuff to beware when the location is secret.
Name them AND those on here.
The old, I have info but not going to tell you,
is old.

Even if you crop the trap off the picture you'll still get complaints. It's not about trapping it's about not letting us do it.

I’ll PM you the site, not gonna get kicked off this site that’s like family and I stay on the most if its not allowed, lol.

Go ahead and PM me too

Yep. Playing Mr. Nice Guy ain't all it's cracked up to be. You can see what being quiet and nice has done to our country.

The photo can be interpreted as a coyote howling in pain due to just stepping in a trap. All trappers know it isn't what is going on and it isn't what happens, but the photo can be used by anti's against us by describing it as such. It is a bad choice for a profile pic IMO. Getting it off the hunting forum is the moderator doing their job in the same manner that we are prohibited from discussing dispatch in open forum. If you want a trapped animal as your profile pic, a much better choice would be a coyote or fox asleep with foot in a trap.

Worse argument I've ever got into about trapping was with a veteran deer hunter. We were in a local archery pro shop shooting our hunting rigs at the in-door range. The topic of coyote trapping was brought up by the shop owner and it went from there.

The guy actually got angry while stating trapping was the most cruel activity in the world. I couldn't fathom how someone that shoots a razor tipped projectile thru a deer's ribcage could think he was more justified than me catching coyotes in foot traps.

The shop owner finally intervened when the guy starting cursing. He left the shop.
