Who are these 2-3 guys?
Some interesting facts that you either don't know or choose to not share with the membership of this website about tghe Briarpatch Fur Sale.
The individual who organized and put on the Kingman Bobcat Sale made not a dime on the event. He did it as a service to AZ Trappers, who came out in number to support the effort. By not paying an 8% AZ commission (3% to the buyer and 5% to the seller) instead a flat $20 to get in the door, the trapper himself walked away with more of his hard earned money in his pocket. Now seeing that the organizer didn't make enough to buy a can of beer on the way home, one would think the trappers in California shouldn't expect any financial help from him for their current trapping problems. If you thought that, you would be wrong. He STILL wrote a check to the California Trappers Association to help in the fight to keep trapping alive in YOUR home state.
You are lucky you have a few other people with better personalities campaigning for the CTA then you do. Jeff Yancy and Mike Pappas to be exact. Because of THEM, I sent the CTA a check. Now I suggest you follow what another trapper told you on another trapping forum-
Quote:Well Mr. ML, maybe if you would keep a little bit lower of a profile and quit blowing your horn like you are God's gift to the bobcat trapping all this bull chit down there wouldn't have started to begin with.
Publicly posting a picture of 130+ bobcats on a barn for the anti-trappers to see is not only stupid but boarder-line idiotic. Between your trapping pictures and Tracy Truman's trapping videos on the web, you two knuckleheads will sink all trappers. Thank goodness you have a full-time job at the power plant and can't devote your life to trapping! Please never retire, all the trappers in the United States will collectively pay to keep you out of our business!
