Your tman name?

Your tman name? - 07/02/23 12:08 AM

I started out a bankbeaverblues
Because I had to chase the last one.
Bank den beaver are so cool.
I found a crazy area they dug out that was supported like a mine.
There was a den and a small definition area in the middle.
It was probably 50 yards from the ditch.
They had a feed hole up
It was in peat ground, so plenty of water in the ground.

I came to tmann to learn from the beast.

Posted By: yotetrapper30

Re: Your tman name? - 07/02/23 02:02 AM

My original screen name was just yotetrapper and it was a joke. I called myself yotetrapper because I couldn't trap a yote to save my life. Dannyc on here walked me through it day by day until I finally caught one. Between his advice and the advice of many others on here, I've caught many coyotes throughout the years (many for me, who rarely has more than a dozen traps out at once, not many compared to a lot of guys on here).

The 30 came in years later, when I joined tman for the second time... I was 30 then and that was quite a while ago now, lol.

I grew up trapping, hunting, fishing, and game wardening in the piney flatwoods around the Okefenokee Swamp (largest freshwater swamp in NA.) I still do to this day....except for the GW part....I'm 1 year into retirement.

The "wolf" part is due to the coyotes I've challenged in this area for 4.5 decades and counting.

Was asked why the 3457, in a previous post like this one.

It's because my wife told me I couldn't have 'SIX'. I think that's what she said anyway. whistle

When I was very young I started trapping turtles in ponds with 20 lb test a 1/0 hook with a sunfish for bait. By the time me and my friends were 16 I started having turtle soup parties every fall. My best friend called me "Turtle" since I was probably 10 or twelve years old. I lived in a very small community and ever since then everyone called me Turtle including lots of my family members.

When I wasnt cutting timber, which was most of the time, I was trapping a good bit of the time. I dont do much of either now because of neck injuries. Plus I needed some numbers for whatever reason.

I joined this forum when I was in high school. I had just started legitimately trapping and the fur market was good at the time. I used some of my money to buy a dozen coon dagger dog proofs. They were my favorite trap, I still have that first dozen and use them regularly.

I thought the name had to be trapping related so I put in my favorite trap and it went from there.

Carlis messaged me one day and said "that's my trap, good name" grin

1978 8th grade football practice we were doing leg lifts and the coach said I looked like Learch from the adams family. My close buddies have been calling me that ever since.

I used to be Foxtail because at one of the first conventions I went to I bought a beautiful fox tail and hung it off of the back of my hat. That hat got stolen so I had to do another one. Now I just go by Mark K because that is my name and it is so much less effort to understand when someone calls me by name. Plus, some clown piggy backed my name with a number and that kind of ticked me off.

I just like being in the ditches, trapping water animals. Pull up, dive down, set and move on! I'm a Ditchdiver!

I recently changed my screen name to my given name.

I was Horn since before there was a Trapperman.com site but we had a pretty active chat group on other sites.
Horn was also my Nickname at work shortened from Green Horn.

We had a huge swamp behind my house where I grew up. The water in it was as black as Texas tea in some spots. We always called it Black Swamp. I called all of my Walker coonhounds Black Swamp what ever. For Tman I just shortened it to Swamp.
