I'm here to entertain myself. The copy and paste is to stop the endless threads based on nonsense.

I get that. But I think I think a tiny bit closer to the way YOU think than most people on here do, but nevertheless I often find myself scratching my head at your copy and pastes since you add no comments to explain the context. If I'm not getting you, rest assured the vast majority on here aren't either, lol.

You re not doing a good job at stopping the endless nonsense,lol.

I think you do too. I do a lot of teaching. I don't know how to state this without sounding arrogant. So I'm going to pass. Hopefully you are digesting some good stuff from your macroeconomics class. I think you are from some of your recent posts.

Sure ain't. Most folks don't respond due to the smart a$$ tone in many of the posts.

How is there a smart (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) tone in a copy and paste?

Wait.... Boco wasn't referring to me?

You know what I'm talking about and it is no copy and paste.

Seems like I remember you replying to a post I made a while back. You stated that nobody cares what I think. You were probably right, but on the flip...nobody gives a crap what you think either.

Most on here are likely as tired as I am that on every fur market post you were complaining about how your Alaskan fur was not profitable and that the rest of us should stop adding to the market so your product would go up in price...

No that was to Dirts explanation of himself stopping the endless nonsense.
Does that make sense or is it just more endless nonsense.

Why would I state," nobody cares what you think?" About what? Do you even know what my Alaskan fur is? It is a species called a marten. How in heck does anybody in the lower 48 effect the price of marten? Every fur market post since 2013 pretty much prices are bad. It is what it is. Most prices are not profitable on most species for anybody. Marten prices will be profitable this year. If I recommend people stop supplying this market, it is for them not me.

Still ain't working. In fact, it's causing more endless nonsense from both of us.

Not selling at these ridiculous prices makes sense to me. If you want to make money trapping its time to go the the ADC route in urban areas. Become a gman. Look for a niche market. Putting skins into the fur market IS a bad plan.

The reason we don't have posts on how to anymore is that stuff has been beat to death. Kids aint interested in working their tails off to lose money and us mature folks already know how we like to do things.

Maybe if we show a little flesh it will get things going...

Beaver porn!

b/c the people that knew what they were talking about and made posts like that eventually get tired of putting up with all the dumb crap people would say in their post disagreeing with them or saying something to egg them on so its easier to just not post.

remember when matt jones would have a thread, like a fish stick thread, that you would look forward to reading? I think he got tired of people telling him he couldn't catch coon like that. The answer to your question is... 'whatever that reason is, is why people like that aren't around anymore', is why we don't see those threads anymore. The guys that used to catch 1,000 coons in illionios got tired of arguing with everyone that you can't catch 1,000 coons. Wheres phil the fox guy at lately? etc etc etc. Maybe markets low and those guys aren't trapping as much too. if coon were worth $ again I bet you'd see those guys back wacking and stacking tho so it isn't just one thing. Its all those things added up.

If you think about it now all those guys are gone and the other guys stayed and now they wonder why their posts get deleted.

All you stated is true, but this is a trapping forum.

Years back there was a guy that took the time to make quality videos to post he knew what he was talking about one day some non contributor types gave him a hard time asking him, who was he to post such videos? He moved on and stopped posting a wealth of knowledge was lost because of some tools that would be gone in a short time.

I agree that people get tired of posting just to get unneeded feedback constantly with people turning everything into a negative or what it never was just to create a problem that was never there. Way too many adolescent adults that destroy the culture for their own amusement making it easier for folks to not post. Just look at the amount of people that are watching vs how many of them are posting.

You get to the point you feel a post needs to be run by a lawyer before posting it as folks will often work harder to tear a post down the just simply add to it they can’t seem to help it.

Don’t get me wrong some folks go looking for a fight from the start just to stir the pot a big difference between that and ruining a helpful thread just to do it. There are lots of ways drama gets introduced on here I see guys that ask questions to start getting a response then never post on the thread they started because their job is done.

Peoples behavior has always been my thing just learn to see what a person is really doing vs what they are saying it’s often not the same thing.

I just use my mental illness as a excuse….

Dont forget a lot of these big time trappers have big egos and cant handle a little ribbing-too sensitive.So they take their ball and go home.
Need thick skin to hang out here.
No place for the prima donna types.

I sure miss Jonathans pics and post hope he is in a very good place.
