This is from another thread. I just had to respond to.

Not once have you (Newt) posted any encouraging words to the younger trappers, or any trapper for that mater, to call/write their Senator/Assemblyman. I see you commented on other posts.
I'm not coming, paying money, to any trappers school, that has someone that won't stand up and fight for the DP trap, or any trappers rights. And if I need any snaring supplies I will get them from someone else. Won't buy anything from anyone that won't stand up for the DP trap or any other trapper/hunter/fishing rights.
Jonesie I'm sorry none of this was directed to you, you have posted & helped on the fighting to keep the DP trap "NJ Needs your Help" post.
We had a gang of seven trappers coming, & now that's not going to happen

Ok
Why did you not call me and talk to me.I have been involved in all of this.Starting back in 1980 or be for. Just because I havent had time to post a reply, to this post or other post.MIGHT just mean that I'm involoved in doing other stuff.
Like making phone calls,writing letters. Talking to other sportsman like you. Working behind the seens.Thoes who know me know that.
Further/: Im not on the puter all the time. When you see me on here,I'm working in the shop where I build snares.And then its when I need a break because my fingers got cramped or my back hurts for working at the snare building bench.Yes some early mornings (4-5 am)you will see a post from me.This is when I'm checking E-mails and for orders comming in.And only when I have time to screw off.
Guess you realy dont know me.
I'm not a sportsman.When I go trapping ,hunting I HAVE to do it with a pay check in mind. I make my living off the land and water.
For the last 3 weeks I have been mending nets,then setting and fishing them,filling snare and supply orders,getting ready for the school.
Along with all the other stuff I have to do just to live. I heat my house with wood.Its almost a full time job,just to keep up on that alone.

As far as you or other trappers /snaremen, not buying from me.
WE LIVE IN AMERICA. We have a choise.I cant or do I even try to please everyone ,YOU SIMPLY CANT.
If I'm wrong I omit it.
We are all sinners. If I ofended you with my responce. For give me,for I'm a man ,I will defend myself.
JESUS my savior.WILL forgive me of my sins.
TRULY I dont realy care what you think.[quote=Newt]

First I want to thank every one for sending e-mails to the legislators and the committee. Please this is very important and we need to keep sending them. Another thing is please this is not the time or the place to have any type of conflict between people. Some people are on the computer daily through this post and others are sending their e-mails and not discussing it on the site. If you look at my name you'll see this is only my 3rd post since 2009. I read trapperman almost everyday but do not post at all. The situation with these resolutions and bills are so serious to trapping is the reason I have written these couple of posts. So guys please put your differences aside and do not put it in print. We need everyone we can get to stick together and send the emails. Also make sure you bcc to njfedtrap@gmail.com this lets us keep track of all the emails sent. Believe me there are many people and organizations working together on this problem mostly behind the scenes and we are making headway. So please get everyone you can to send the emails so we can beat this thing.

The trappers of NJ also have a second job that we must deal with along with the emails and phone calls, that is we need to educate the non trapping outdoors folks. Many outdoors folks really believe that the NJ F&W brought back the Foot hold trap as in the steel jawed leg hold. This is not the case,They did not bring this trap back, but they allowed the DP trap. Now to the trapper we know the difference, but to the non trapper they have no understanding of the difference until they see the trap, and even then they do not understand how the dp trap is different on the captured animal as far as perceived damage or non target catches. There are many outdoors folks, like it or not, that do not like trapping, mostly based on, not really knowing how this trap and tapping really is and how it has a positive effect on the state when trappers are trained before they get the lic, NJ has a mandatory 2 day trapping course covering laws, traps, methods, understanding social perceptions, and just plain being shown how to do it right and must pass a test before they can legally trap. The non trapping outdoors folks for the most part are for and support the trapper because they know we control populations and are in fact a free wildlife control to the NJ citizens. ADC 101 reduce the population reduce the damage. So we save the state problems with human / wildlife conflicts. Also A lesson that we the state, should have learned from the 1990's and have not is, with the explosion of rabies that was allowed because of the banned leg hold. Trappers caught 30,000 plus coon a year in 84 and only caught a fraction of that number in 1989. The population exploded!!!!! We must remember the thousands of folks that had to be treated with bites and exposures from pets being also attacked by infected animals like the Raccoon and skunk. We must realize that history will and is very close to repeating it's self again because of the ever growing coon population. the dp trap is the tool that NJ trappers can use to safely catch coon in great numbers with out catching dogs or problems to people when set properly.

Ok I know every one reading this knows all this, nothing new to the trapper!!!! but we must take this type of information and more, along with science and facts and educate the non trapping outdoors folks to gain more support and backing to defeat these 2 pieces of legislation. As was said before the trappers can not do this on our own we need help from the outdoors folks and other states.

I've been trying to get some hunters to call or email, but they don't seem to care. I guess they'll have fun with the coyotes that will run amuck when trapping is illegal!
