Are there any trappers/fur harvesters on the board?

I used to work with a guy that trapped various small animals. His catches included mostly raccoons, skunks, and occationally wildcats. He sold the skins to some person in one of the Dakotas. His truck always had a horrid smell so we made him park in a far corner of the parking lot at work. He also picked up fresh road kill that he came upon.

I went with him one time to check his traps and was amazed. When we got to his trapping area he pulls out a pistol and a club. I asked him what the club was for and he said "fuckin' pelt guy doesn't appreciate holes in the hide." We checked about 30 traps that day and I witnessed some pretty brutal stuff. He was quick about it but still.

Don't trap or know any trappers but god bless them. We need more.

a friend of mine used to trap in high school and I would go with him in the morning to check traps. only caught coons and coyotes. nothing more mumped up than seeing a coyote being bludgeoned to death with a billy club.

a guy in town bought the hides. can confirm the retched stink.

Would make an incredible YouTube to send to PETA to take some pressure off of our mis-treatement of chickens.

I'm not sure sys is ready for what killing a pig entails.

My step brother brought his friend home with him from Manhattan. He (military vet

) wanted to help us kill pigs for butchering. We moved one pig into the holding pen, put it down, and bled it out. Stepbro's friend ran to the house

and didn't come back. We finished up the third pig and went inside to clean up. He was in the kitchen by himself drinking a glass of water just staring

out the window. Dad asked him if he was alright and he said "I have never seen anything so barbaric in all my life."

i don't want to kill one in hand to hand combat. i want to shoot one at a distance with a rifle. it will entail the same thing that shooting a deer entails, but it will taste different.

I would trap animals, if I was disgusting piece of garbage human being. But I'm not so I don't.

It won't taste right if you don't bleed it out. The meat will get bloodshot and you will not be able to store it for any amount of time.

I feel like going fishing in the dark just so I can listen to the nitty gritty dirt band on repeat

I watched a midget decapitate a steer because religion this morning. It was okay but wasn't able to BBS as much as I'd like.

never done it myself, but had friends that did....trapping is fun.

steve dave · « **Reply #112 on:** October 26, 2012, 07:55:08 AM »

I think I'm going to set up huge bear traps around these traps and trap a trapper and beat the living crap out of them with a huge wooden baseball bat with nails in it and maybe one of those things that's like a bar with a chain on it and on the end of the chain is a spikey ball. then I'll let whatever animal they trapped out and give them, like, a Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie or a hot dog or whatever they're into and send them on their way.

You're the one in Cali right? I have a colleague in Fresberg that shoots pigs all the time. Also a family friend in Vacaville shot a huge one with a bow. Basically there are opportunities for you to kill a pig if you go out into the world and seek them.

Anybody shoot the new Browning A5? Not the old, heavy-as-crap ones, but the new ones that came out last year and have a 5-year warranty on it.

Bowhunters, any luck yet this season?

I've been out the last three days. I haven't seen anything worth shooting, or had anything in range. I've got tomorrow off, but it looks like I'll be spending it studying, instead of in the stand.

My mom tagged a good sized buck a couple days ago with her Taurus. Her Ford Taurus.

I hit a tiny little baby deer when I was moving from Manhattan to Omaha. Really tore me up inside

passed on a decent 5x5 yesterday. if it were december I would've taken him. walked right into my stand, stood broadside to me about 15 yards away and stood there staring in the other direction. I won't get another shot that easy/perfect all year.

they're still in seeking mode. that should turn to chasing this week and next week they'll be in full rut.

Sighted in my rifle this past weekend. 15 years in, still get a little nervous each time I pull that baby out. Anyways, pretty tight groupings, between 1-2 inches apart from 100yds. Should make a deers end pretty painless this year...
