As you know I think the mental side of trapping is a very important aspect to trapping overall. Its funny one minute I think I waste so much time on here and then I look at all I am inspired to do and have done for the upcoming season already! In past years I have been the guy doing it all the weekend or two before the season to get ready! Some years I think the traps were still warm on opening day! LOL Being involved with trapping year round and being motivated by others projects keeps the blood flowing and mind working too. Its just nice to go to a place were people of the same interest are there to talk with and to get and give help to and from! I thank you all!

Agreed Law Dog, this place has grown into a great medium to learn, share and teach about the things we all share interests in "Trapping".. A Big thanks to all ATT members and the Moderators who keep things going in the right direction!

Yep, you fella's sure do help with the inspiration level of this hobby trapper. Why else would anyone in their right mind have gallon jugs of cut up beaver tails on the hood of his pickup truck all summer?

jails and mental institutions are full of liked minded folks ... just saying lol
all in all every one of these sites whether it be this one or others , they are great places for like minded folks to gather and just hang out , explain a preferred method, share boring tid bits of life with friends, acquaintances and strangers and have fun while taking in all of the different views and perspectives and also very importantly having the opportunity to correct those who are armed with misinformation ... whether it be a kid or adult ... sometimes you cant sugar coat the truth so things are blunt ... no value in letting someone walk blindly into false knowledge ... you can't discourage real desire and passion with words
many thanks to Forrest for creating this particular platform from where trappers , whether like minded or not can come and interact ... who learns anything if everybody agrees all the time? be yourself have a mind of your own ... don't just agree because so and so did, that does you no good and don't always expect others to have the answer for you , believe it or not it's ok to think things through for yourself instead of becoming dependent on others for answers to your questions

I know that I get a large pizza for medium charge when I show my ATT membership card!!! And that's a good thing!!
It's a great forum with several good members. One of our mods stated in another thread that most of the mods here have over 20 yrs. experience in trapping--- most of that knowledge learned by trial and error. The members here at ATT trap for fur (be it for income or fun) and they NWCO trap. A lot of knowledge and experience online at any given time........ I wish I had this info at my fingertips 20 years ago....... CDR
