Thread: trapping

my wish is that we could get the message out that trapping is not an evil thing that needs t stop but a timeless triditon that still has many benfits that inclued population management and better quality fur products

I used to trap with my Son before he was old enough to hunt. It's very time consuming and a lot of work but a thrill to see the results if you are fortunate enough to be successful.

We used modified Bridgers for fox and coyote.

Trapping is a good way to manage animal populations if it is done correctly. Overpopulation causes diseases and starvation.

i trapped a few years. nothing against it. not enough do it. to many coons eating my heirloom tomato`s. i have been bow hunting for 30 years. i own beagles and love to run them on bunnys. going tree rat hunting in indiana sunday.

id love to go after squrills but here in pa season doesent open till october and we cant hunt on sundays here except crow, i also love to bunny hunt i spend hours out kicking brush piles for rabbits every winter

I took the Trapper Education class earlier this year. Yes, I support trappers. FTA and NYSTA member.

I used to trap rabbits in the late '60's as a kid as well, still have a few traps in the shed, but as said, the PC crowd have stuffed that here in Australia years ago.
