I want to let all of you know that Joe Duncan aka Rascal has requested that I remove him from the Moderator position. He suggest that Tom Olson aka Bogmaster be selected to replace him in this capacity. I called Tom and asked if that was OK and he agreed. So Tom is the new Moderator of this forum.

Joe said to tell folks he is having health problems that prevent him from doing the job of Moderator as well as he would like. He wants to spent more time with his family also and thus has resigned the moderator job.

So please welcome Tom as the new Moderator.

Joe many thanks for all the tireless work you've put in. Hope we hear from you when you can drop by to visit with us.

Thanks for a job well done Joe.

Bogmaster has a new policy. He will offer pizza party every week for all who posts.

Well, at least I know one of the mods personally now, except for Paul on t-man.
You gotta know that Tom will kick butt as a mod.
I welcome him and wish that Joe could have kept on keeping on at the same time. I hope that what ever mystery problem Joe is having, will resolve it's self soon and that Joe will be as good as new.

It's hard to poke an enigma! I need more info.

Newt · « **Reply #10 on:** June 08, 2003, 05:06:31 AM »

Wacky, enigrnal

?

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #11 on:** June 08, 2003, 05:18:53 AM »

Bogy is as an obscure riddle; I find him puzzling; he remains and enigma to me.

All I know for certain is that he needs new boots cause his feet are always wet!

RdFx · « **Reply #12 on:** June 08, 2003, 05:25:26 AM »

Well Wacky here goes: Picture a moss backed snapping turtle moving slowly throught the swamp and slower on land LOL! ( Bog (Tom) is a water trapper by heart) Then picture a huge thermos of coffee strapped to the turtles back!!! :roll: !!!!!. Oh yea forgot to mention the turtle was moving slowly towards a cardboard pizza box with left over pizza in it someone had left on swamps land bank!!!! :wink: !! Getting the picture Wacky???

Also put in turtle a heart of gold that hardly fits when it comes to young and new trappers :grin: . I will let you embelish on that info for awhile. Psssst Bog save me a spot at Tony next weekend ( Ladysmith Wisconsin trappers district one and two) Ill bring another thermos of coffee :-D

Wackyquacker · « **Reply #13 on:** June 08, 2003, 05:40:57 AM »

Dang! so Bogy and Newt are twins. Son of a gun don't that beat all. :eek:

Newt · « **Reply #14 on:** June 08, 2003, 06:17:31 AM »

Yep, he's my UGLY big brother.But I tought him everything he knows.But I just cant get it through his head te ICE is for tea.Not to walk on.

Bogmaster · « **Reply #15 on:** June 08, 2003, 06:27:18 AM »

Wacky,I guess I will have to post a little biography on here sometime today.You must have led a very lucky and sheltered life,if you have'nt run into me at a convention or Rendezvous.Just ask Asa,RdFX,Newt or any of the poor unfortunate soles that have.Now Newt and I are not twins--I believe I am a tad older than him.And I surely am the handsome one of the two.But we have partaken of several meals together---my truck seat still has pizza stains on it from the last time--course they are a bit hard to see over the coffee stains.
Like Lee said ,I spend the largest amount of time chasing water critters.I have held a lifetime fascination with H2O.At age 2 my folks used to give me a bucket of water and a fishing pole, and I would sit for hours.Never did catch anything--but then I did'nt have to clean anything either.
It seems that flea infested animals do not hold the same fascination to me that a sleek fat beaver or ornery muskrat does. well that is enough for now--like I said I will post a bit of a bio later--then let the fun begin. Tom

You are a good man Tom, and will fit your role as a moderator well. Joe, thanks for your time and efforts.

I've been talking to Tom about those wet feet, even played him tapes of howling 'yotes and mewing kittys but all he can hear is the chipping of popple trees and splashing water in his head! :-D Ace

Bogmaster · « **Reply #18 on:** June 08, 2003, 07:10:47 PM »

Asa, I have to admit .I did set a couple yote traps last season.Control job, and I did get a bit excited seeing that song dog at the end of my chain.But no way would I want to make a habit of that.But then again the pay was extremely good.So who knows if someone gets foolish and flashes those kind of bucks at me again---I may --well then again its to easy walking without waders on--never mind. Tom

Mallard · « **Reply #19 on:** June 09, 2003, 01:29:24 AM »

Joe, a big Thank You for all your efforts both here, and aside from the site. I sincerely hope to cross paths someday. Tom, good to see you at the helm.
