Is that the Name of the New Outfit.....Empire Trappers ?
Is it an Association or a Club ?
Will they be recognized as a New York State Affiliate or rather a Stand-Alone Trappers Organization.
Will it's Primary Function be a Trapper's Social Organization, or will they be advocating on behalf of Oneida County's Trappers with the State Of New York Department of Environmental Conservation, The Bureau of Wildlife, and Our State Politicians
I Wish I had Attended the Meeting But I some how Forgot the Date and missed it.
It's always helpful for Our State's Trappers to be STRONG, UNITED and ORGANIZED with significant numbers of stakeholders when dealing with a Government Organization or Political Bureaucracy like the DEC, the Legislature, and the Governor
It's VERY Important to the Future of Trapping Because,
United We Stand, and Divided We Fall......OR,
To Quote Founding Father Benjamin Franklin: "Gentlemen, IF We Do Not Hang Together, We Will Most Assuredly All Hang Separately."
We currently live in a Dangerous Time Period for the Sport of Trapping.
Hopefully Most of Our 12,000 to 14,000 NYS Licensed Trappers shall STAY UNITED and will seek to join a State Trappers Rights Organization to give trappers a greater voice in the Heritage and Future of both Our Sport and Livelihood.

As long as there is beer.......................I don't care what they complain about. I used to get ticked off when I heard about other guy's stuff getting robbed, but now I just laugh. I guess it comes with the territory. It's ironic that all Austin's stuff got robbed the year that there are no rats....

Yes, and this year when there are 1,000+ rats to be had, equipment will be prepped & ready Had there been ample rats available to me last year, I'd have simply ordered another 20 - 30 dozen #160s and hustled to get them ready. That type of stuff can't get in the way of successful fur production... it's just a speed bump.

I fixed it for you Rocky. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D w Bob, I actually did mean "Mushroom Troll" as it truly seems to me as though the Marshrat must live in the dark, so far away from true realty that he has no conception of real biological facts and the true trapping world. What else could cause anyone to be so negative in every single post one makes ? Ignorance ? The beer ? No, couldn't be the beer cuz too many other folks can consume that and not ALWAYS be negative

My first thought when Mr. Rockwood posted "Mushroom Troll" was the psychadelic effects made manifest in certain posts we find hereabouts. Not that I'm necessarily against that, but it definitely is the "Troll" part of the moniker that clinches it in a most appropriate manner. And Bob, your excuse for forgetting the date is the injuries sustained in the collision. Mushroom beer.... mushrooms and beer.... note to self: Don't try either.

What is the harm with having a trapping club that is not affiliated with the NYSTA? ? Where a bunch of trappers can get together and BS about trapping, drink beer, eat some good food......without listening to the political crap. Most of the guys are already members of the NYSTA anyway. I think it would be a great idea.

"Where a bunch of trappers can get together and BS about trapping, drink beer, eat some good food......without listening to the political crap. Most of the guys are already members of the NYSTA anyway. I think it would be a great idea."
It is a good idea,and the I.F.H. of C.N.Y. do it a couple times a year,the club even picks up the tab for all members and their families dinners. We are having one tonight, 4pm till 6 pm. at the Empire Buffet on Erie Blvd. There should be 30-40 trappers there, no politics,just a good time talking trapping. We have a couple of awards to hand out, Trapper of the Year,and will induct a couple people into the clubs Hall of Fame also. Anyone with some free time (and of course a positive attitude) that would like to show up is welcome to join us. I'll even buy the first few dinner..... ;D

Sorry, Marshrat, but whether we like it or not, politics is part and parcel to what we have to deal with! If we don't, trapping as we know it will be history!
