Pete doesn't count!!!

Go ask them and let us know. I’m sure they have read the thread and have had enough time to reach an unbiased and informed decision.

Is a self-appointed expert trapper the same thing as a real trapper After more than 50 years of trapping the number one thing I have learned is the amount of information and knowledge that I do not have Is far greater than what I do know Also I don't want to add to any confusion But what are the necessary qualifications required to be a BIG TIME DEER HUNTER They told me several times in a short conversation they where really really big time deer hunters They where in their legendary own minds th e greatest self appointed big time deer hunter that ever attempted to kill a deer And indeed they where all you need to kill a deer And if you left them come around to put one on the ground u they would show you they are the biggest big time deer hunter And for that they are world renowned (Caution this story is purely fictitious )It can be contagious however If you know anyone that has it avoid them at all cost It's a horrible illness lo be stricken by

Angela,

It truly sucks being a washedup has been, Paul made a suggestion

a couple of months ago, for me to pen a book,, that's

difficult task for me, while my experiences are wild, crazy,

it been a great life but I feel so inadequate to my peers.

Thanks again for sticking up for us old folk

"You can't be a has been if you were a never was"...

Got my thumb caught in a 220 body grip the other day. Does that count for anything?

I would read your book, Buzzard.

Same!

Back to the topic.
Its the mind set.
just

Trap mouse....your a trapper

Trap a mouse and then start giving advice about coyote, beaver, wolf weasel etc....well; your not

I don't read books, but I'd give yours a go Buzzy!

i cant believe i just wasted 10 minutes of my trapping time reading this crap and then wasted 2 more minutes posting here....some people just never learn lol

Technically anyone with a trapping permit is a real trapper right? The state even says so.

Just my opinion is all....

So what's a real trapper ?? It's the 10 year old kid that watches

Daniel Boone on TV after school and gets a itch.

It's a itch that never goes away and must be fed.

Times goes on , way too many notes reading Fur-Fish-Game,

Learning the basics and playing with on the farm

Still time goes by, the 10 year old is now in junior high,

he can't drive yet but has a bicycle and 2 legs.

He struggles at first, but the knowledge is accumulating

By high school he has a beat old rag offa car, no girl

will get into it because it stink of wied smells and dead fish


Time goes on more, he graduates, finds a girl that the

smelldpesnt bother, goes to college or gets a job.

Work starts at 7 am, the newborn child screams off and

on all nite from the crop, then the alarm goes off at 2:30 am

The young man drags himself outta bed, pours a thermouse

of coffee and hits the road, he has 35 traps to check, remake,

and be back to work before 7

Lunch will be spent skiing today's catch on the back of the truck

Carcasses will be hidden and skinned fur will be placed in

a cooler with frozen half gallon milk jugs to make sure it keeps cool.

The story could end now but doest have to, time still goes on

Bet I've been trapping longer than you, lol.

Deep breaths...

Look into your heart--a real trapper has a hard time when they are unable to do what they love,--Trap

I'll just let my pictures do my talking....

Professional level here, pretty much qualifies me to be a yootoob expert:
