Remember when I first got in here there where a lot of long detailed threads like killpole karma , coyote wars, mink mink and more mink ect going , lotta different ideas and stuff being shared and tired but seems that trend kinda fizzed out .. why ?

Good question. I just posted a coyote I caught using a kill pole and it is now gone.

Did T-Man have the strictly trapping forum when you first got here?

Wait what ? I just commented on it not long ago

Don't know if I did something wrong I would hope someone would say so.

I think because it was about dispatch

I’m starting to notice a trend…

I figured it wouldn't last long because ^^^^

I try to post a lot of trapping- related content and pics to start trapping- related threads. Only a handful of others on here add trapping info. Several just critique what you post when they only have experience trapping closet mice.

Sometimes I do respond to political BS and other topics, but I regret it most times.

Food for the bunny huggers

Few are trapping because of no return so they talk about other stuff.

Sent you a pm bud

Even during fur's last good spike in 2010-11 there wasn't much...about like now.

Plus, beaver ain't gonna get any higher than we are seeing right now.

I guess that don't matter to the closet mice trappers.

I guess we need moderators to keep an eye on what gets posted.

I guess a lot of guys just like to blow off steam about politics/religion and border this, president that.... Thats fine and all if its what you want but I retired from the dept of justice, the gov't... Its the last thing I want to talk about every 15 minutes of every day, LOL...
Id rather talk about which #1 long you like for mushrat slides than the border... Thats just me but to each their own...

They dont get a return because they dont trap
And there comes a point when everything has been covered.
And some likely assume most trappers already know the trade,so feel like anything they might add is redundant.
And some may not share certain methods because they feel they are irrelevant to 90% of trappers on here and perhaps wont be understood,or go over mosts heads..

I'm guessing because when you came on here 10 years ago fur prices were still decent. Wasn't that about when otter were bringing up to $150? There were a lot of new trappers at that time in it for the money. Since then many of those trappers quit, and the rest have learned how to trap and aren't new anymore. Not a lot of new guys jumping in to trap $2 coon.

I think most of us on here have been here longer than you, and we actually have trapped for at least that long and so don't find a lot of new subjects to jaw about. I try to answer questions for newbies, but honestly for the past 5 years I don't think I've had more than 20 sets out at any one time. Just not much to talk about.

Ok let's talk about hijacking a thread. Let's see some good catches.

There is no right way or wrong way to trap something. Unfortunately, on here there is. Why even post what works for you where you live and trap?

Giant Sage got it goin' on!!!
