Age requirements on posts

Trapperman forum should require age along with screen name..........personally I would rather post with people older with trapping experience and work and life experience .....and not others....IMO

No, you don't need to readily I'd kids and their ages online.

Good point I never thought of ...they should be protected.......how about over 21 adults only .....or years in workforce......or years trapping......an age to qualify posts and comments worth....

Good the way it is set up now.

Just focus on finishing ur coyote live trap u keep mentioning

i like it just fine now

How about -no

Not a good idea imo, and not needed. Tman has it covered, well. The kids forum and Trapper Talk. Kids can hang on their forum and when they want they can post on T Talk. Age doesn't necessarily equate wisdom or experience.

Like a city dweller moving to a small town and complaining it ain’t like the city. LMAO!

I'm looking forward to that live trap as well.

Consider u don't have much trapping experience i find it a bit hypothetical that u say you only want to post with those with more trapping experience

Glad you remembered....presently stopped with arctic cold plung..........have to take battery out of phone......cold has me with nothing to do and always posting.....

This

Show us what u got done while u r posting other wise some might think ur pulling there legs

Or...how about starting your own website if this one doesn't meet your thoughts or desires?

looks like you stepped in it now?

The kids are fine, until they get feisty, then someone brings them back to earth...it's all good, and fun to watch, lol

I like hearing how others trap regardless of age because it gives me good ideas to catch more fur or make the trapline easier

as a parent , no , don't list age

if anything was going to be done different , and maybe this already is , it would be nice if every kid who joins here is bound to a parent account or email so that all the direct messages go to the parent as well.

some of the youth here already give out a little to much info at times.

always remember the entire world had open view to most everything here.

We need to do all we can to encourage, support and educate young trappers. Trapper demographics are not good. Without recruitment this sport is slowly dying out.

So you don't want new guys and gals to be able to ask questions?

If it’s going to be a thing, just put a “rookie” stripe under their handle for the first year.

How would you enforce an experience rule? You can say anything you want as far as experience and nobody can really call you out on it unless they know you in the outside world or you admit to it.

Getting my popcorn ready.

And just because you've done something for a long time, doesn't mean you are any good at it.

I do catch more coons and groundhogs when I wear my chipmunk hide speedo's. Just a nugget of experienced knowledge, your welcome!

It's the internet. You can claim to be any age you want.

Hahaha Truth

I think that was required, or at least suggested a while back that folks had their ages under their avatars. I see nobody is doing it now.

I could be misremembering...

After reading your handle, you are not qualified to speak to me.

Same, I am curious to see if anyone agrees

I dont think that was ever a policy here. Just the location needs to be done.

Of course, generally you have to be 13 to create an account on most websites, which obviously is not really enforceable either. You just click a button and go.

Sadly, enough until the other day when he said he was married, I thought this guy was a teenager!

Could be. I was a teenager when I got married the first time.

I agree! I only communicate with trappers over 40 and have trapped for at least 30 years. I need to learn from the experienced ones! All you 2-3 year trappers can go play somewhere else! Stinkin rookies! Bunch of jerks!!!

Get atta here!

How old are you,I dont know if I want to talk to you or not yet.

Need blanket pardons for all

So now I need to get carded to post on here? A breathalyzer makes more sense. Once you reach .08 your keyboard locks up. Now THAT I would support!

…. Speak for yourself lol

LOL

How about posting level of education so we dont waste time talking to heinze pickles.

Some of the best threads occur after drinking hour.... which can be variable....

Back in the day I'd never have gotten to post lol. Don't live that life anymore, I'm much better now!

Pardons for everyone, oh and a trophy.

Losing your memory due to old age....just another reason not to have an age requirement

Guess I didn't take enough heat off him in the trump 2 a thread. Poor fellow I tried.

Truth

No doubt!

What if someone is 16 and has been trapping for four years while someone else is 39 and has been trapping for one year? How will that work?

Just ask someone their age (private message of course) or years of experience when you want to know.

Just my thought in the issue…

I’m sure Paul would be glad to show you the door if you wanted to whine about the way he runs his site, that has been thriving as is for over 25 years.

Could be 10 and trapped for 1 year but had a dad, grandfather, or other mentor that's a rock star legend trapper teach them and that 10 year old will know more than trappers with years that are learning on their own.

I bet my boys could teach him some things if he is a newbie and I'm not even a good trapper. Just OK at best. Now take a kid with one of the reall trappers on here teach them and they will out trap my self taught hobby trapper hind end .

How long have you been on here?

Ur one of those fun haters aren't u

I make some of my best posts late at night. It is always enjoyable to read what I wrote the next morning.

He joined nov 24and has over 200 posts.

We need to protect the young trappers from people with little to no experience that want them excluded, because they only like cage traps.

Not a pro trapper....only cage trap racoon, skunk, possum, groundhog taking residence in barn that refuse to pay rent

Maybe just need to submit a stool sample before you post. Then we would know everyone was properly wormed. Be no butt dragging.

Mac

If we required a urine sample too then we could just send in our undies to save time.

That is an excellent idea. Could get the full panel of all necessary DNA figure out a guys roots. Diagnose any potential communicable diseases might bring to the group.
What they a Win Win in corporate world..

Mac

Just dont believe anything you read on the internet regardless.
Its all fake news.

We'er talking about a maximum age requirement right?

This.

Wait a sec, 32summit you said you refused to use footholds or conibears and people called you a sissy so you said you’d change your name to that but your name isn’t sissy yet. Your a man of your word right?

Well that settles it ... according to his own criteria we should not talk to him.

This post seems pretty serious.

Angela, clear out some PM room for me please ...

OK. PM sent!

Thank you.....

I'm on to u girl..... you only remove one thread at a time so every time someone wants to pm u they have to ask you to clean out ur pms so everyone can see how cool u are....

Lol

I'd still like to see a picture of the coyote cage ur building

Yep.

Keith

…. You don’t need to see it … just know that it’s going to be effective

… probably catch triples in it

So vote tally is 5,799 to one...

but who's counting

I'm afraid guys aren't taking him serious and pics would set them straight

If you don't want the children to view the pics pm them to Savell he's experienced
Don't bother with Angela she keeps here pms full

That contraption will likely kill more coyotes than Parvo!

Just lazy. Would it make you feel better to know I also have 102,200 emails in my inbox?

Jeff, is it hides or hide?

Please don't post pictures.

Keith

There's women on this forum and I've always heard you never ask a woman her age. So, probably not a good idea.

Keith, it's hide. Being you ask for a pic, here it is fur side in. It tickles.

What are you two conjuring up that the rest of us can’t see?

Wouldn't you love to know?

Funny story, act ran the idea of having age restricted sub forums. Had to be a certain age to be in them..couldn't be older or younger. Decided it probably wouldn't be the best thing

On South Park, the only people in the younger, age restricted groups are pedophiles and Cartman. Adult predators are probably attracted to groups like that, since decent adults aren't there to monitor what's going on.

Keith

Pretty eclectic group here. Might get boring otherwise.

Don't believe he is long for this site.
