My thought is always Jtrapper and Savell. Especially the way Savell has made him a nephew. Savell is always wanting me to apologize to the kid and I maybe would but i keep thinking it might really be Savell and I can't do that. grin another thought I had is Hal or ( the name has left me..... ) the liberal lawyer....... coming for payback

The kids good but doesn't seem as quick witted as Hal.
I'm leaning towards the Lawyer. Being good friends with Paul would help with it

Keep your job and save every penny. Use what trapping supplies you already have, don't buy more. This winter run a small line as your time permits and focus on becoming a better trapper.

If you live in an area close to a town, or if your parents would be willing to drive you to town a few days a week next summer, start a lawn care business. Use some of the money from your job to buy a weedwhacker, and a good push mower. Look for clearance deals for those items this fall and winter at stores like Lowes, Home Depot, Walmart, etc. Then next summer, work TWO jobs... keep your milking job, and hang up flyers advertising your mowing business all over town. Mow every lawn you can all summer, and save all that money too. By the time you're old enough to drive, you should have enough money saved to buy a truck. Once you have your truck, you can expand your lawn care business to other towns and make even more money. Possibly consider buying a used plow for your truck and plow driveways before school and on weekends (by then, if you're managing your business right you should be able to quit the milking job).

Stay in school, and keep saving as much of your money as you can. Trap on school vacations and before or after school. Then, once you graduate from school, take a gap year. A gap year is a year in between graduating high school and starting college (if you're going to college). If you're careful with earning and saving your money between now and then, and your parents will allow you to live with them still, you should have no problem spending the entire trapping season trapping from dawn until dark. Maybe even consider an out of state trapping trip to a southern state once your season starts winding down up north.

I know you probably won't take this advice, but if you do, that year will most likely be the best year of your life.


Just scroll by...iam sure there are dishes to clean...laundry to do...weed the Gaahden..t

Time Bettah spent ..than getting hosed.

Me ...iam just in-between coats of clear ...lol

I don’t doubt the kid’s posts. He’s on HuntingPa also, similar posts. I think he’s from Huntington County. I believe he’s met up with HPA members to get traps and instructions.

Just keep your job and run as many traps that you can in the off time-even if its just 3 sets.

I keep telling myself I'm not going to respond to the kid anymore, but he's a trainwreck and you can't not watch....I think he forgets what he's said before, thus can't keep his stories straight, but we remember and can call him on it.
He's had good advice from everyone, too bad it's not what he wants to hear.

Find a job with health insurance, social security contributions, and pension benefits. When you retire, start trapping as a hobby.

But you may want to finish at least Jr. High first.
