coon do you belong to yr states trappers assoc?  Or do you know of anyone that does?  From your posts you  are new to the trapping game and you should take a trapping course or get a mentor to guide you along in the right way.  First of all you have to know your state laws on trapping then study the animal you want to trap  and know its habits ect.  Then you have to know which trap to use plus properly and then how to skin, flesh, stretch hides and then find a buyer.  This trapping isnt just a weekend thing it takes ALOT OF WORK, and alot of RESPONSIBILITY.  If you dont know of anyone in an association. I will try to get ahold of someone that can help you.

This poster raised a few eyebrows on the Dobbins forum.  Check him out cause he might not be what he claims to be.  Then again,.......

Coondog: It looks like me and you are trapping outlaws. I got kicked off Sullivans Line Forum. I don't like to brag about it, but me and him just couldn't get along. There were lots of nice people on there, some of the same ones on here, but me and Hal just couldn't get along. That's all I'm gonna say about that.

As long as everyone respects those posting we will all get along fine.We are here for a purpose , and that is to dicuss trapping and things related to it.Everyone should take a minute and think before they post,or respond to a post.
 Coondog,remember -sometimes it takes a while to get an answer to an e-mail,you will find that Mr. Dobbins is a very just minded person and a good person to boot.Most of us on here visit the other sites also, so lets not rip the other trapping sites.Lets try and make this place enjoyable and friendly to all.  Tom

Coondog: I have been trapping for 1 1/2 years, but I hope for many more to come.

Bogmaster: I have to agree. I think a trapping forum should be about TRAPPING, and that is pretty much all I talked about on Sullivans Line. It's like I said I'm not going to talk much about because I am not going to talk bad about Hal behind his back. If he wants to me then let him. What other people sqay about me bothers me none at all. I would just like to say I don't consider myself a smart- mouth or a trouble maker. I'm just here to learn some tips on trapping and maybe give a few. I also like to communicate with other trappers. There are not many around were I live. In facvt I only know one.

Well I did some work for this lady yesterday i got 52 dollars now to buy some traps. I told my brother in law about me wanting to trap and he thinks im stupid. I was like I want to find a place that sells traps, then he sayed go tp the flea market they have traps , i sayed not those kind of traps then i was telling him about the kind I want not live traps he was like thats stupid , those kind of traps are for the mountains the animals around here are to smart f0or that. I was like ok :lol: the rest of my family is being their usual non- supportive selves but I dont care. if Trent is a anti what would he have to gain? nothing exactly.
