Had man never fallen, we wouldn't be hunting, trapping, or fishing. But man did. So until that day when my want to don't want to or the Trumpet sounds, I'm going to keep on trapping.

Sampson is my hero. Did it without 1.75s too. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Thank you for everyone's replies. Warrior especially ! And to answer your question Independent Baptist Church. I don't call myself a Baptist however. Just a Christian that attends a Bible teaching church. As for whiskey and Clint Eastwood movies IMO neither has anything to do with one's manhood. I hope you don't really believe that? I'll be praying for you also. Ed Patrick meant no disrespect. Your initial post seemed so silly I thought it would be deleted! Prayers always appreciated. I thought have you studied the bible or was this a trick post? No idea and don't care. Replied to another post in jest about Eastwood and whiskey. But was kinda true. Do not know if he is allowed at your church but if not.... I would suggest you watching Unforgiven and Grand Torino from Eastwood in that order. Smells of the struggle of God and man and you do not have to go back to the movies where a pale horse was involved!

As a Christian I believe priorities should be: 1) Your relationship with God through Jesus Christ. 2) Your relationship with your family, both biological and spiritual 3) Your relationship with civil society (your Country, the needy, etc.).
If your trapping or any other hobbies are not negatively affecting or taking precedence over any of the above, you have nothing to worry about.

I'm a trapper. I'll start there. I belong to my state assoc, NTA and FTA. I've had a passion for it for many many years. I've have met great trappers over the decades several of which have passed on. Over the past year and a half, since I rededicated my life to Jesus I'm finding it harder and harder to justify what I'm doing. I know the versus that speak about man's dominion over all the animals on earth, in the sea and in air. I understand the managing of wildlife concept. I have always trapped because I enjoyed it, not to manage then animals. I was just wondering if any Christian trappers here have struggled with trapping and their Christianity and how us God convicted your hearts in your struggle? I'm praying for God to show me his will and I'll keep on praying. I know he will answer. I've known alot of hunters and trappers (myself included) that as we get older start to feel the way you are about things. You start to get up there in years and aging, maybe dealing with illness that often comes with age and you realize time is fleeting and you start to see things differently. You observe the animals in their daily struggles to find food and stay alive one more day and I guess you kinda learn a new respect for them. You start to hunt for food, not trophies, keep just enough fish for a meal instead of filling a bucket, trap when only animal numbers start to get out of control- things like that.

As a Christian only problem with any activity is when it replaces God as your god. I no longer shoot archery because I became so obsessed with it. It was replacing my devotion to Gog and my family.
