I like big traps as my main target is coyote/bobcat. I use mostly NoBS extreme and NoBS jrs wire levers. I also very much like the Duke 650.

Favorite lure is Gusto, but also had success with Violator 7, James Lucero (sp?) winter wolf and Mr EJ Kelly sent me a jar last year of ‘leg lifter’ that is showing a lot of promise on remakes.

… yessir..I wish I would have looked into the no bs when I retooled awhile back

… I like a skunky lure in a remake

Well, that is what we had to use back then.. Back in the 1980's Butera and Victor was manufacturing the rubber jaw trap. An old timer trapper that attended the Tennessee wild sources meetings in Nashville told me the the old man Butera attended that meeting and told him " You will be able to use that rubber jaw trap next year". The old trapper replied "How do you know?... Butera Replied to him ..."Because I donated enough money to make sure you'll be able to use that trap".. That is what he told me.. Honest man!

….. hey Yes Sir …. Tell us a cowboy story

…. Were they trying to outlaw the foothold completely at that time ?

… also what are y’all allowed to use now ?

No, Had a whole lot of back and fourth with coon and fox hunters that had clout and political contacts on there side. Not trying to outlaw trapping, Just trying to make it very hard for us. The legal trap now on top of the ground is 7" jaw spread , I believe it's a 1/8" jaw lamination. What I remember being told was when the law was being voted on to allow the use of the rubber jaw trap one of the coon hunters stood up and said " there is not enough coon hunters here attending this meeting to vote on this!" Well, one of the trappers replied" they had every chance to be here just like us!"....Voted.. Legal to set the number 1-1/2 and #3 coil spring rubber jaw trap in the open on top of the ground with written permission from the land owner.

…. Yeah those houndsman can be a selfish bunch

Years ago I had a sorrel gelding that was pretty green and had a big motor. We were at a practice roping and me and a buddy was ready to rope but everyone one else was still warming up their horses or saddling up. I'd only heeled of this colt but my buddy talked me into heading one for him while everyone was getting ready to rope. So I backed into the heading box and nodded for the steer. Well when that colt saw the steer come out of the chute on the wrong side he went left instead of straight. I got him gathered up and pointed the right direction and since this gelding could run and we were in a big arena I figured we were still in the game just aways behind. My buddy said he could here us coming and was in position to do his part. Me and old sorrelly was lined out and running like we just robbed Wells Fargo and just as I leaned out there to rope the steer I felt him break in two. I was leaned out there too far to have any chance of recovery at that speed so I just hit the eject button and started flapping my arms like wings. Buddy said he saw me coming out the corner of his eye but didnt know why I wasn't on my horse anymore. I went flying like a lawn dart at a fourth of July picnic. Never flew so far so fast in my life. That horse ended up being the best team roping horse I ever had and I won a bunch of money off him but he was rank there at the beginning.

… that’s cowboy (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) right there lol

… best I got is going to hops on a brahmer in field store lol

… don’t be scared … get in here and say the first thing that comes to your mind lol

This summer I was riding a knot head roan that was spooky as all get out. He was feeling fresh one morning so I was letting him air out a bit in a half section pasture. About our third circle two hen turkeys flew up out of boot high grass ten foot in front of him. He was pretty broncy and it got real western for a bit but to my surprised i was still up on the hurricane deck when the storm past. He still gets a little jiggy whenever we cross that corner of the pasture to this day.

They could at least say hi, out of courtesy.

…. You getting too old for that lol

… most cowboy thing I did today was fall off a nightstand getting a big Yankee coyote hide off the wall in order to put a picture of it in here lol

… you would think … at least a screw you or something along those lines

I hear you. Thats why I was surprised i stayed with old roany, my reflexes are not what they used too be...

… got fairly western coming down off that nightstand… youngest seen me in distress and used the opportunity to try to put me in a ufc arm bar lol

… I got the best of him in the end lol

… 359 viewing and not so much as a kiss my butt or anything
