What happened? Check in regularly and haven’t seen much of any trapping. Prices? Time of year? Douche bag comments? Frozen fingers? Kinda liked this forum better than trap talk but not much traffic.

For starters, some seasons are coming to an end.

Next, it is bitter cold (for example, -43 here at my place this morning) and we are approaching 90 inches of snow on the ground. We are busy staying warm and shoveling snow!

88 marten
8 lynx
14 mink
21 otter
3 wolves
7-8 ermine
And zero pictures to prove it.

It's a lot quieter here but quality threads.......that's for sure. Trapper Talk is almost like an "off topics" thread in other forums.

He probably want pictures and your life story. Already TMI.

Appreciate the valid post Current. I can remember Kusko and several others who always had trapline threads. HFT AK is the only one I see. Wondering where they all went. I get it, with posts like Dirts why would anyone bother?

Well the journals were pictures of the their life on the trapline. I never paid much attention to them, except HFT's to see how much snow was to my east. It takes time to take pictures, post pictures and narrate the story. Then you have to answer all the questions or you appear rude. And some of those questions get down right bazaar. I think some people go through a faze where they want to share these daily events with people on the internut, and then they get over it. Then there is a risk to posting everything you do on the internut.

BTW notice the heading is Wilderness Trapping and Living. Since I do both, all my post are valid posts.

Kusko and fish 222 are still in Bethel and still trapping I believe. Maybe life caught up and no time to post. We had an airplane trapper going after Wolverine from Bethel also. He didn't understand the joking and sometimes over the top comments and hasn't posted this winter.
You can't expect us all to be perfect.

Roger that. I can take a hint. Be well all.

I liked Kuskos posts as well. But I certainly don't bother with a bunch of pictures when I'm out and certainly don't post them to the internet, so I can't blame anyone else for them not.

Fish 222 isn’t currently trapping I believe Kusko isn’t either but not 100 💯 sure on that I quit posting because it got to much local attention looking at my lines when you work years to develop lines then share a season with the world next thing you know every other time you check someone has been down your trails you use to have to yourself makes a guy nervous And as previously mentioned it’s a lot of work trying to keep a journal updated I run 2 lines and am out on my snow machine every other day checking one or the other and skinning on the off days the rest of my life needs more time as it is

So you say you are busy actually TRAPPING to monkey around on T-man? How odd!

Probably not keeping up with your Facebook obligations either! Geesh!

Unfortunately I'm waiting for a kidney transplant, maybe after I'll be able to get back out in the bush. From what I hear around the interior a lot of guys didn't get a lot of trapping in with the record long cold snap we had and then the dumps of snow.

Been out trapping, but a terrible winter for it. Got some marten, but will be in the summer auction. Still going at it.

Pete admittedly I do post some on facebook it is simple easy from my phone I haven’t been able to get pictures to download to Tman from my phone the way I use to and I seldom download them to the PC in fact the PC is simply a business tool anymore and not used for casual browsing

The reason that nobody posts here is not because people are not trapping. Some of us are catching piles of fur this year. The reason is because some guys put a lot of time uploading pictures and composing lengthy trapline reports only to get either no response from the forum or snarky comments from the old timers who can’t seem to find it in their hearts to be happy for younger guys doing good on their trap lines.

"This is a forum for our trapping brothers and sisters in the last frontier to post about their trapping and living experiences."

At one time it got little too Canadian on here. We were learning how we didn't know how to run our operations.

I’ve thought about doing a thread but there is only so much daylight up here and the temps are cold so I don’t like to waste the time pulling out a phone for pictures that is buried under 3 layers and deal with barehands.

What do you mean by that Dirt?
I know old trappers who can’t take constructive criticism or get insulted when they didn’t think of something themselves. But you can’t be one of them eh?…….lol

Some of the stuff from the Yukon, NT and BC translate to here pretty good. The other regions, not as well.
