hi ya'll im new here just found this site from a profile link over on t-man. truth be told im kinda new over there too. didnt know there were sites around where the nationwide trappers family could visit and bs without being harrased by shall we say anti-everything nuts.anyway been reading thru this site and really like the kind of informal joshing and bsing in the threads. really cool place. hope an old trapper/hunter /whatever else u can think of outside. (well allmost) can fit in with ya'll. im from texas but done my share of travelling . at one time or other ive planted iron or caught a fish etc. in most of these 50 states. im a pretty serious outdoorsman and count on my trapping for a pretty good chunk of my income each year. am also a clown sometimes love a good joke and can take a lil harassing too. and i may cut up and joke around from timeto time in threads but all know i am addicted to enjoying life and in no way mean any offense to anyone if i ever get outta line when joking around etc . please tell me and i will correct it thanks for having me all.

Welcome lonestar!!!!! Glad to have ya with us.
We got two rules here, one there aint many rules, and two...ya gotta pick on the cat!!! That is sunny, or sunshine, or twit, or what ever else she gets called. Cathy is her favorite name by far.
We are trtin to get this place goin again. it was busy as bever a few years ago and sorta ran out of gas. Shame to, cause even with all the BS that was goin on, there was also alot of really good trappin info passed around.
Anyway give us a litle time to get folks back here and we can have alot of fun. In the meantime, I check the siteb everyday so post anything and I'll most likely post back.
Our season starts on 10-11 this year so after that I will be hit and miss. Gots lots of steel to run this year.

thanks huck from reading thru the post i kinda gathered that about sunshine ive allready contributed a little there. (but you too much sunshine can spoil your fur). lol anyway i actually found this site thru her link on t-man.she seems like a lot of fun. in fact i like the laid back friendly kind of harassing fun talk on this site more than t-man from what ive read here so far. ill help ya'll anyway i can but i dont chat polltics. on that subj i figure silence is the better part of valor lol. the only prob i leave home in mid dec and dont come back till april 1st no pc or time to use one if i had it lol. bot ill be posting and chatting and passing the word . thanks ya'll

I reckon you and I are about the same this year. Once the season opens I will be goin 90+ till I either drop or the season ends. At my age either can come first.
I won't talk politics to much. Kinda say what I think and let it go.
You trap alot of cats don't ya? Wish we could here. We have plenty but our DNR won't let us trap them yet. We just got a limited season for otter last year.
Our big three are coon, beaver, and rats. We have plenty of yotes to, but they aren't the best by far. used to ahve alot of fox, then the dang yotes showed up and that was that.

yep agreed huck im 52 and when i do hit it its daylight till dark 7 days a week . my trapping places are like 2 to 3 hundred miles away. we ( me and my dad) and another part time partner trap these largedeer breeding ranches.but we have to wait till theyre season is over they are well manage and only certain amt of deer are killed. then they do there culling. then they call us .we have lots of ranchers want us to trap but cant get to em all in one season . any they furnish our gas and a decent place to stay.so while the season is open i basicay move away from home . when we done on one ranch we paand move on to the next. i dont talk politics because in general i like folks and thats the quickest way i know to lose friends lol yes every trap we set is for cats we do catch lots of yotes mostly in snares we do that for the rancher because our cyotes arent even worth skinning lol we catch some coons and an occasional fox your right cyotes and fox just dont mix lolwe catch some badgers we shipped 206 cats last season but it was the 2nd season on those ranches and was tough was kind of a lean cat season but we are on new untrapped land this year lol no otter and no rats no otter lol we do ave a few beaver but t very experienced at catching em lol we catch lots of coons in our cat sets tho.. now that ive read thru this sie tho makes me wish i had a latop to take trapping with me but i proably wouldnt have time to use it lol. i gotta hit it while i can i wont be able to go at this pace for a lot of years to comebut then my dad in his 70s does pretty good for an old fart. i hope i can go like that when im his age .

Dorth and I sat down last mnight and sorta planned my line out for this year. Gonna take some traveling but I am in 100% this year. Will start here at home, three farms, then south east for a week,maybe two, then four days off for deer season, then back this way a bit for at least a week. Then lost likely back here to trap the farms again. And restock!!! LOL
After that either a river line or back southeast again.
Alot depends on tomorrow morning. I am meeting a fella that may well be able to keep within 50 miles of home and have more land than I can trap in an entire year. Lord knows he farms enough and knows enough folks to get me on the places.
Also have 1140 acre island on the Miss. river, but that will be january most likely. Want those beaver, rats, and otter as prime as possible.

I'll be back on most weekends. have to come home to drop fur at the shop and restock the camper.
We have a 27ft camper and I also set up a 10x20 skinnin tent. I used to use a 8x10, that aint bigg enough to fart in anymore. I leave out sunday mornings get some sets in that day and set hard Monday. Then in most cases that Friday I pull and head home. take Sat. to get things in order and head out again to do it all over. Some places i will stay longer if the catch rate aint fell off to much.
I have found most times over 4 nights in an area it drops off so much it aint worth staying. However, ya can go back and set the same area about two sweeks later and it's like ya was never there.

sounds like the video card went bad .. the lights all work and you can hear the fan and everying working but nothing on the screen then it pretty much indicates either a video cable bad video card bad or monitor itself . hook it up to another monitor and see if it works if not its probably a video card. which is pretty easy to replace. i can walk you thru it pretty easy... takes bout 10 or 1 min.. e hard-drive isa possibility butif the tower and all the lights and sounds are working .im pretty sure its a video card or monitor... what kind of pc is i ? dell, compaq etc. ... we can fix it real easy i think .... try it on you girls monitor first and let me know ... ill tell you how to fix it then
