As we draw near to the end of our seasons...
« on: February 23, 2011, 06:25:53 PM »
I know that most of us already know this but let this serve as a simple reminder.
As we draw near to the end of our seasons, lets not forgive to give thanks to the various property owners that have allowed us the honors of hunting & trapping on "Their Properties". Just a simple thank you goes a long long way and if we have treated these properties with the ut most respect, we most likely will be welcomed for years to come.
I also want to take a moment to thank everyone here for their advise, tips, tricks, and experiences that they have shared with the rest of us. Even though I've trapped on & off for 30 plus years, I have learned a few new things from a lot of you and for this, I do give you thanks!

I always Thank the property owners.It's only comon curtsy,but some people seam to lack that trait.
I also been trapping on and off for around 30 years.With all the properties that i've trapped over the years,I had very few flat out NO's.

One thing I found out over the years is I don't think I had any friends or just acquaintances that don't trap or hunt Predators.I guess it's like misunderstood  brotherhood,between trappers and thier familys.

Most of all thank your familys...Just for putting up with us...Take some of that fur check and take them to dinner...

 Goodspeed...........Frank

i thank them also very nice of some one to allow you to use there land to hunt fish trap the least you can do is stop in and bs a lil let them know what you saw or harvested i always offer to share some of the meat if deer hunting . ive been eyeing up a few places to trap and going to figure out which ones to knock and ask. ive found that most posted land if you take the time to knock and talk to the land oner most will tell you where you can park and let you use there land . there have been a few absoutly nots but very few .
