Trap ban Bills...Dont do it !!!

[James White]

I have been active and have read many new bills to ban foothold traps,Except now,the AR's groups seem to think that if they now put in exceptions in there fight in these bills,to allow it for the use in the ADC business only,I have been asked my feelings on this over 1000 times this year,so I would like a minute of your time to talk about this with the ADC guys/gals on here.

First yes,I know it many will think it would increase your biz,But DO NOT FALL for that.Yes it may but wise up PLEASE,I would say that 99 persent of those who are in the ADC field either still fur trap or started out fur trapping then swithed over to ADC work,PLEASE remember your roots here,when making a judgement on what you do on all these Bills banning "ANY" traps.The AR groups are trying now to get the ADC people on there side,DONT get caught in there web of deception,You have to realize this,They take away one tool,And the will not stop there,That is a fact.

So I ask all of you,DO NOT FALL for there crap.remember your roots and dont think about your wallet ....PLEASE help support the State and National Trapping associations in there fight against the banning of any traps,no matter how it would/could /possibly put money in your wallet.We are all TRAPPERS first.And use your TRAPPING heart to fight them.

If I get bashed on this,I can handle it.....But I am not thinking about my wallet,I am thinking of My roots and my fellow trapping family in whole.PLEASE,fight for the rights to keep ALL traps legal,And dont think with your gut or wallet.

If you choose to go with the AR folks and not help support the trapping family facing all these bills to ban traps,Then May God have mercy on your soul,Basically you will be a sell otu in my book.

Thanks,

You sure won't get bashed for saying that here- on a trapping board!

I agree- nowadys, a trapper that wishes to trap for a living, through necessity- has to do ADC work of some kind- no matter what it is called.

The only ones that could possibly be FOR such bills obviously never enjoyed the thrill of a trapline. Good post.
