Sammy, he asked a simple question about setting conibears, he never mentioned any illegal activity, I see grown men on other sites I goto asking the same question all the time, perhaps youd like a link so you can go accuse them of poaching as well

People like you are why kids dont ask questions then you can complain as well when they start screwing things up and getting hurt.If you have nothing constructive to add to the actual question that was asked why bother posting anything at all much less interrogating him?

Pay attention to detail petsuck. Looks like he plans on setting it to me for live animals. But your the reason why kids get in trouble. Because you don't look after them enough to m,ake sure they know what is right and what is wrong. I am not a member of other sites and those grown men you speak of,well they are not children and don't need guidance as the younger ones do. Your mother let you play with knives when you was little I bet.

So he wants to know the best way to set the trap without getting in it.

He wants to know the limits of ther trap as far as what animals its good for.

And he wants to know if anyone will share some details of sets he can make with the trap.

Yeah, sounds like a real irresponsible kid doesnt he wanting to know how to trap safely, responsibly and humanely as possible.But then Im sure you knew everything there was to know before you ever set a trap out right?Its called learning, look it up, you might be suprised that everyone began learning these things at one time or another, hell, I still learn new things every time I go out, that make me a poacher to?

Like I said, Pay attention to detail from his writtings. He has not took a trappers course or has his trapping license. If he did then he would know about body grip traps. It is to late in season to take the test for the trappers license I would think. So I do not think he was talking about next years trapping season when wanting to trap muskrats or other animals. Pay attention to detail.

I would like to suggest putting the trap aside. Find a local trapper in your area who would let you go with him and learn. I know this might not be what you want to hear but in the long run you will be way ahead. He can teach you how to set traps. how to place them so you catch game. How to properly handle the fur you get. Where to sell it and all the laws of safe and ethical trapping. good luck.

These forums are great learning tools, places to share information and experiences, but it seems the more popular the site gets and more member, the more bashing and argueing you see. I used to enjoy this site a lot, butlately I visit others because this type of argueing doesn't seem to be nearly as frequent. Some posts, from the beginning you know what's going to happen and how its going to turn out. This post isn't nearly as bad as some, like the poor hit posts, but it makes me wonder what good tearing someone apart does? All it does it deter people from seeking information or turn them off of the outdoor sports we love. I wonder sometimes how conversations that take place on these forums would go in person, when there are consequences for our actions. If what you're posting isn't constructive, why post?

Wow, what are you from PETA Sammy? Why dont you just give him a break and help teach him the right way before you assume many things about a person you have never met? You really need to work on your people skills, How would anybody ever learn if they didnt ask questions, yea questions started the scientific revolution which is most likly the reason that we have technology to bash kids that want to learn over the internet. Thanks for makeing me get pissed jerk.
