Do you remember your favorite Tman fued'rs

I haven't been around as long as a lot so I'm sure I missed some good stuff. Me, I remember Waveslider and Foxcatcher. Man when those two started it was get a beverage and some popcorn. Dang that was entertainment! What do you remember???

Buckne vs whoever

I would counter that with Boco and whoever.

Zim

LOL!!!

BuckNE and James both took their ball and went home....nobody is smart enough to keep their interest!

Oh huh lol.

Another one I miss that could hold his own is Flyin Finn. That dude was something.

Coonman220 vs AA Lovers

Nightwish was like watching slow motion train wreck.

He can’t start the first step, he doesn’t realize he is the problem.


Yeah! I’ve slipped over to ITT, just to make sure he is alright.

Still fussing about social security and the road construction. Now he wants a credit card. Was warned about being a racist.

He’ll be back trolling soon enough.

I think he was before my time.

I miss Buzzard. He didn’t fued though.

Brianmall is who I miss.

Never met a UFO or Bigfoot conspiracy he didn't like. The guy ran with the aliens.

BuckNE and MtWildman had some entertaining battles. I miss them both. Both brought interesting perspectives.

Oh man, I really enjoyed MtWildman's post. I often have wondered what happened to that ole boy...

I miss the guy that got hit bad by the hurricane. Bud Guidry.....he gone away.

Jbyrd63 is batter up.

The early days was the best. BobWendt, WilyE, 1080, Gappa, Z the list goes on.

Nightwish and Creekboy were a hoot.

You must have never read live market posts back then LOL

PCR2 aka twerker

BuckNE, was a good guy who knew his crap. Worked on nuclear reactors, former submariner.

Del and Ang used to get going in chat

Fishguts .

Bob W didn't play well with The Boss

I just logged in to Gappa's site. Coyotes R Us. Last post was on Nov 24, 2021 at 7:58am. I guess he is still kicking?

Who recalls P Skinny ? He was a hoot with, who was it, Blue Ridge Runner, I think it was ….I remember his mini foothold mouse trap sojourn threads.

Me n jbyrd63.

There has never been any forums I have been apart of for 10+years that I've seen someone post such misinformation then him. I can pull dang near every single post he makes apart and find it.

He ,makes things up/ mis quotes so many things it unreal!
Many here know it and try to set him straight but he can't fathom being wrong.

But he's got "broad shoulders "

My favorite was Dave Pleuger going round and round with anyone who said anything good about NAFA.

Miss him every day. He died way too young.

It was BlueRidgeTrapper. Craig was his first name. No idea whatever became of him.

Oh yeah, it was always fun to read his posts.
He and Newt would have some interesting adventures !
I was shocked to learn he passed so young .

I guess I need to step up my game...

Buckne and Nightwish
Best thread ever BIGFOOT POST It was Amazingly entertaining

Not a feud, but does anyone remember Nutoy and Bayou from the chat in the mid 2000's? Anyone know what became of them?

O"Brien, Akona, Nightwish, BuckNe, Grackle, James, Wallner .........Those guys would feud with anybody.

I remember catching heck for quite a while because of my support for Trump from the day he announced he was running.

Not a feud at all.
I miss BulletBox.

RIP Blake


Zim

There's times when I wish we had a " like " link !
This is one of them !

Definitely professional grade!!

Where is PCR2? I haven’t been on a lot lately.

He went berserk one night and cussed out Paul and got banned. He deserved it, but I hated it, as I tended to like his posts.

I didn’t know that. Thanks!

I liked PCR,Paul didnt ban him for good,he could have come back.
Dont know if he ever apologized to Paul or not but he should have,regardless.

I didn't know that. I just assumed it was a permanent ban.

I remember 10ring… well 10rings wife pics.

Also,
Dale Torma’s posts were always very knowledgeable and interesting.

PCR2 if I am not mistaken asked Paul to cancel him out. He was just getting to wound up over some of the posts. A mental health thing for him. Paul can correct me if I am wrong. He was a good fella but had lots to say.
I did not know Bullet Box had passed. RIP. I always enjoyed his posts but just thought he faded away like so many do.

Holy Smokey Corky, I had all but forgotten about those guys. Might as well ad 2 Poor to that group.
I will have to add up the number of folks I have actually met over the years from this site.
I suppose a couple, three dozen or so.

Zim

Miss Dale Tormas posts.

yep

dang i miss the chatroom

Me too,Tony.
Tom

Hawkeye vs anybody with a crawfish on the pan! I miss him. I had no idea p-skinny died? I thought he just quit coming around. Can't remember his name but the alaska guy that worked at a sporting goods/gun store vs anyone who complained about cyclists in the road. He may be in the alaska section still. I always liked buckne. Everybody accused him of being the google king but I always liked the way he argued....or rather the way he had everyone resort to name calling because they couldn't argue with him. Lol.

The AK guy is Huperest

Yes I came on about 2001, those (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman), Gappa, Wiley E and others were long, pointed and in many cases I learned a lot. We do note that most of those are now gone from this site for various reasons. Many times passions come and go and people get booted, tired or move on. The thing that I admired about many of those long and pointed threads is that there could be very direct and stern discussion and for the most part they were civil enough to last for days. That is not the case many times now. To me we have gone more from an educational and informational forum to a cultural entertainment forum, based on sound bytes preferred by either side of the issue. Not much to be learned by short and shopped sound bytes.

Bryce

Yep he loved his watch !
What happened , where is he ?

x2@blake

me 3 T...those were the days of real comraderie on here.

Agreed.....especially the last 2 sentences....statements. Respect is lacking in the way of people enjoying being rude and mouthy and acting like its a debate forum instead of just listening. Many good trappers leave and others wont post just because of fear of being attacked or ridiculed. Respect has been lost in our culture the last 50 yrs. Seems like many think its cute to be smart---

My favorite Tman posts from the past were Pskinny makin a big show oit of internet courting Tsarvena. The guy was hilarious and I don't remember ever having to explain a joke to Tee.

Yep, the Pskinny and Tsarvena thing was a hoot!

There were some interesting ones for sure. You could see the hackles rise and the posts were flying.
We probably missed more than we saw, some just went "poof."

I learned a lot from those posts.

When I was a kid I read a story in Field and Stream or maybe Outdoor Life that said turkeys need to fly off the side of a hill. They had a difficult time flying from level ground. I quit reading magazines. No FFG no TPC none of them.

I thought I was a pretty good trapper when I came on here. Among the handful of trappers I knew I was. One of the most valuable lessons I learned here was to run what somebody was saying through my experience filter because there were a lot of people out there who know a lot more than me. Made my world a lot bigger I guess is a good way to say it.

^^^This^^^

MtWildman was a trip.

A bit off topic. Not really a feud so to speak. But I enjoy Hal Sullivan's posts. They way he would infuse common sense, compassion, empathy, and understanding towards those that opined the unorthodox way of trapping. Some may argue that there was a slight trace of edginess to his demeanor, but that disappeared shortly after his sabbatical to that monastery in Tibet.

MtWildman or Montana wildman I suspect has passed. I remember he had a terminal illness but I don't remember what.

and a few of those names are on the filter list, so I'm surprise to see them get through

Lol. Executioner didn't put up with much back then and I could tell pretty quick if a thread was gonna get the axe. I would go ahead and open every page to read later. Lots of times I would refresh the last page and oops, there was a problem. Lol

Dale is a great guy, what a fountain of knowledge.
I met him at a NTA in Wisconsin a few years back.
Wish he would get back on here.

Zim

I used to lock horns with him over on Wild About Trapping when it existed until he basically gave the bird to the owner and MtWilman went bye bye. Ed was his name but can't remember if I ever knew his last name. He wasn't in good health back then so I suspect he's no longer breathing air on the Earth...

Lynxy used to get his drawers in a knot often.

Trapchequer was not one to let a good argument go by.

Junk Victor mouse traps.
Copy and paste king.
Claude Dalas.
Someone teaching Boss to beaver trap.
Coyotes non-native to...
Someone offering to lend me a truck when mine went down I wont forget.
Many good memories.

Mike Obrien had some good posts.

Oh, the memories . We've certainly had our share of characters .

Who put the truck in the drink trying to launch a boat?

Buzzard

Last time Hupurest was on here he said he had gone green, traded his guns for a good camera. I took him two dozen ears of sweet corn when I went to AK and he gave me some smoked red salmon.

Any of yall remember Fluff and Kansas Coons pickin on each other and when it got good and heated one of them explained "it is ok for one fat kid to pick on the other fat kid". I couldnt quit laughing and of course Jerry Morris and Charles from KS would chime in and make it even funnier

RIP Fluff, you might be gone but you are not forgotten buddy

Andy, Charles, and Nick sure had some entertaining threads! Everytime they started planning an adventure involving all three, you couldn't help get nervous.

Yeah that was good stuff. Thanks for the reminder Shane

There was a guy called Bird Dog or something close to that anyway that was a biologist from Oregon or Washington. They had a forest fire near a lake and peoples houses were burning. He was saying helicopters shouldn't get water out of the lake because it had some kinda off the wall bacteria in it. I think he may have been a fiddle player too!

One of the most memorable characters in a good way for me was Maw Cat. Just good humor all around.

I remember lots of armadillos in those threads.........and "secret squirrel " references too

Fueds on Tman??

I barely remember but who was the woman that' was an ADC trapper or owned the company and moved to the bahamas? I remember right, seems like everyone was always arguing with her. She may be here still, I barely remember it.

Arguing with a woman?! Nah....

VIXEN or Victoria Vixen, iirc.

Miss Sharon
You remember PSkinny doing the skinning & put up of the field mouse with pictures. Used a piece of clothers hanger for a stretcher so he could get Top Lot.
I used to spend 30 minutes at a time with him in Smithfield because you had to take a break from laughing at that clown. And nothing better than the T-Man on line dating service for him too. I think the Boss could have kicked him off for stalking some of the ladies. He was a hoot.

I think you may be confusing him with LTGrey there.

I remember the mouse trapping thread.

I may not get them all right,....but the posts between Charles in Ks, Jtrapper, macat, and some I can't recall were hilarious. Seems everyone on the forum would pile on anytime they got started.

None of it was meant to be serious or hurtful, just funny as they could be.

Belin was always part of their carrying on too.

All well and good but please don't skeer up she who shall not be named. That last shot she took at jtrapper flooded New Orleans.

What ever happened to "Top Lot Tony"? Anyone remember when he imploded?

This. Maybe, one day, someone will write a paper on the visceral, lip smacking, should be guilty, pleasure of actually being there to See some poor soul implode, on a forum.

Truly a train wreck we call All sit back and enjoy


WilyE I'll always fondly remember. Victoria Vixen? Well .....

I remember those pictures of the mini sets and fur. Aside from being humorous, he really was quite detailed and precise in his work. I remember he , Mr Paul, and a few others had a running fictitious story going for a while that was a hoot.

Everything and everyone VS. coonman.

Coonman

Where is coonman? I’m out of puzzles to solve!

Still on vacation until June 5

Uh oh!

Not sure why anyone responds to coonman. He doesn't really want any help, and never listens to good advice, assuming you can understand what he says...

Of course theres always the entertainment value.

The epitome of, drag ya down to their level and beat ya with experience.

Hippie
“you’re killin me Smalls”

I think they call people like that, askholes. They ask and ask for advice but don't ever take it lol.

Who was the idot that was going to kick Pauls butt? He did not last but a few days.
