Definitely my favourite site on the internet. I would hate to see ads after every 3 posts. I like it just the way it is, although I would be in favour for a ‘Like’ button.

Kind of a big family here. Not a happy family, but a family.

This could be monetized better if you wanted to go to the trouble. There is a pretty small pool of potential advertisers unless you went to Google adsense ads. Then it would be worth more.

Years ago I did a trial run with some ad thing, but I didn't like it, so I ditched it. For me, it's not about making a pot full of money. The ads I have on here pays the bills to keep this place running, and that's good enough.

I like what you and Benny created. It belongs to you two. Your decision. All good things must end I suppose. I hope your heirs or whoever takes over when your done, does not change things to much.

Like most on here its about the only site I visit a time or two a day. I frequent one other site for High School sports I like but the bickering there is more painful than on here. IMO I'm with everyone else
that is WAY too cheap. They will fill it with ads and make that back in no time.

When I found this site I had been trapping for about 30 years and I knew I was not the best trapper in the world How ever I felt like I was up to date with to modern day methods and such .It only took me a few days to get the message that there was another level of trappers that had lots of great ideas that they wanted to share with anyone wanting to know And to even make it more worth the time there where many people that would also share their ability with a camera a paint brush or some music they liked or how to prepare some favorite food make wine skin a coyote .It is a one stop site to find information about everything you can think of I learn every day by checking in to TMAN And most often it is entertaining without being offensive .Heck I wish I could buy it .

As a Trapper it's never been about money for me, so I can understand Paul's opinion. It's trapping that have brought all sorts of real life experiences that I would never have experienced doing other things. It's been a big part of my bucket list.

Trapperman is YOU Paul. I respect your decisions.


I love the smell of burning spruce---I love the sound of a spring time goose---I love the feel of 40 below---from my trapline I will never go!

Trapperman will never be the same and I give it 3 years after the sale before it collapses

Interesting to know that an international forum with several thousand registered viewers or members maybe worth say $30K or so! That is nothing to even an individual that would want to take down a forum like this. Man that is only 10,000 muskrats. Up to the owner do decide how they want to move forward, but from a user perspective it sure does not appear that it takes much to silence thousands of trappers if there is interest in doing so.
