As many know I have had many thousand coon seasons. I have posted my successes every time on Facebook and other social media. I wonder if that was someone's goal, would you not post it on a forum and document it if you made it known you were trying? After all if that was my goal and I set out to do so I would certainly document it wouldn't I? I would never want anyone to be able to cast doubt . Not saying anyone would question such a feat. Lots of folks have done it after all. If I was trying and done it for the first time I would have posted it everywhere. It would not be about conceit or bragging but about pride in going so for me anyways at least the first time. When you do it ten times in a row and several times double it I can see it not being worth mentioning at that point. Let's here your thoughts. It might be interesting to think about and look into those who have said they did but never posted about it on their social media. LLL

Nothing wrong touting your success. I have respect for those who put up large catch numbers of any species. Doubt usually comes from those who envy such success.

Gary Or for some reason you do not mention it until a couple seasons later. LLL

Lltrapper if you trapped a 1000 coon this coming fall, do you think you would turn a profit? It's a serious question. I don't know if it would work with high fuel prices and low fur prices. Although if your coon populations are as high there as they are here. Idk.

I would share it for sure. I would be proud of that accomplishment, anyone who’s ever trapped knows those numbers only come with hundreds, if not thousands of hours of hard work in a season, not to mention the knowledge and skill set you’d need to make it happen.

Although if your coon populations are as high there as they are here. Idk. Right now trapping is like any other hobby. Like gambling. You only play as long as you can afford to play. You should have no expectation of making money because in reality you will loose your shirt. If you have two shirts then go ahead and play. LLL

So larry, who said they caught a 1000 coon that you don't believe.

I can see positives and negatives to both sides. I know people who like there successes to be known and I know guys who are very successful who would rather keep it too themselves. Sometimes it sure can be done for the wrong reasons and sometimes it can just come across wrong. I know a guy on this forum that can put up huge daily catches of coyotes (he only goes hard for his 2 week vacation)(and does it year after year) and has never posted one thing about coyote trapping on here. One of the reasons is he's just that humble of a guy.

What if you were trying to make a name for yourself as a 1000 coon man? Would you then? Not talking about myself. You all know I would and I have. Just wonder why someone would say they have but not say a word about it on social media when they did is all. I like a straight shooter. LLL

Not sure I would use facebook for such an announcement. I would probably make a thread here on trapperman.com with history of progress toward your goal and pictures for education and other trapper's enjoyment. JMT

JMT But you would document it and let folks known right? After all 900 don't put you in the 1000 club nor does 700 on other attempts that a guy would post but in between those seasons you hit 1000 and you say nothing??? Just does not seem right. LLL
