Not everyone grew up with that banter and would rather just not to talk to someone than to hear their constant smart arse comments. This isn't smartarse.com, its trapperman.

There's only so much information to share. I'd be curious how many that post regularly are really trapping?

Wolfie how come you don't post more about your trapping experiences?

I enjoyed his posts before he started posting all the bird pictures even more. He put a lot of effort into making excellent informational trapping related posts. His post on muskrat floats was tremendous.




Many of them have came and gone because of this and it's often that they are just so sensitive that they can't take it if someone simply asks why they do it the way that they do. They feel they should not be questioned, how dare people doubt them.

This is very true! ^^^^^^^

Driving members away and keeping new ones from posting will accomplish nothing for our ranks just to stroke some narcissists bully egos. Just an excuse to play reindeer games it has nothing to do with promoting anything positive in any way candy coat it all you want. The ones saying everyone needs a thicker skin have thin skins just pay attention the next time.

Well, at least not as well as you do. Keep up the good work as I know you will.

Right on the money !!!

Just put me on" Ignore". Glad I could solve this problem.

Trapping closet mice is fun

My last mouse trapping thread I put on trapping only, with no drama
And we all knew the pelts wouldn't pay

Yea, I forged him a big pike sized Fish Gig.. I always wondered if he used and how it worked out.

I would like to see more pics and write ups about kids and families out trapping even if they are just catching grinners. With fur prices down there is less pressure to put up big numbers so trappers should have more time to take a kid/s or the family out and enjoy being outside and quality time together.

We need more FHA news releases. Those always incite multi-page threads regarding the woes and pitfalls of shipping fur to the auction.

Calm down Karen.

Please post more closet mice trapping & marketing techniques.

I'm inexperienced....

Sounds a lot like twitter/FB

If thick skin is required how many people will fit that category so it seems there is not an environment that supports those people often. If you notice new people seem to go poof pretty quick even with a decent welcome so where do they go and why did they go?


If the culture is survival of the fittest the same people will keep doing what they are doing with no change to the culture that’s offered or people will move along.

I am a new member here, and just so you know, you all are an intimidating bunch. I have followed the threads and read through the archives for years. Most of you have forgot more about trapping than I will ever know. I feel like I know a lot about some of you and would love to accidently meet you some day. That being said, my pappy taught me that you learn more by listening than by talking. So, I think I will just sit here and keep my mouth shut.

I stretch my mice on tongue depressors.

Was ALOT of info when the place first started, several get in long winded disagreements about this or that then you type out a long detailed post giving your two cents and the whole post would go POOF! Never to be seen again, in time alot just quit wasting their time since it wasn't going to last long enough for anyone to see it anyway.

Then came the Utube hero's who just caught their first coon arguing with veteran guys who have been at it for 30 or more years so they all shut up and just watch now also.
