and watching a NWCO just trashing trapping on PBS They are trying to introduce a Bill to bring back steel foothold traps and he is saying that there isn't any reason to bring back receational trapping because HE can kill whatever HE wants....What a tool...I'm just be glad that the NWCO's in NY are in support of our views and we can work together!

They were having a discussion with the represenative that introduced the bill to allow trapping and he was there supposedly to support it as well but that's not the way it turned out. They are having a huge issue with coyotes grabbing pets and at least few instances with children being attacked

That sucks , but not surprising....there is always someone out there that tries to push their thoughts(no matter how liberal..i mean crazy) like they are the supreme being.They think their way should be law just because they said it.....it is up to the people to speak out and defuse all the stupid and unrealalistic crap they feed to the public, which is quick to judge based on that crap. If the people speak, stand their ground... the truth will prevail.

Yes I will agree,but that should have taken place about 25 years ago in that state.

Well the NWCO sees it as competition for his business. Hopefully the people see his actions and statements as self serving. It's like asking Home Depot if they will support a Lowes moving in across the street.

Wayne, did you happen to get his name ? As a NWCO that supports fur trapping and promotes it every day, I really hate to hear that. It hurts everybody. We have a hard enough battle trying to keep what we have and sure don't need people like that speaking out against it. One of the problems we see with some NWCO's is they only get into the industry because of the money. They do not come from a fur trapping background, like 90 % of the NWCO's I work with do. The majority of us are fur trappers first, if you go to an I.F.H. of C.N.Y. meeting, most likely half the members there will be NWCO's, and the same goes for the people that man our booths at events,and all the trapper training courses we hold are staffed almost completely by full time NWCO's that devote their time to help get young people involved in trapping. I would like to find out who that was speaking out against bringing back footholds, just to promote their self serving business interests, and make sure about 50,000 U.S. trappers know exactly what his name is, and how he feels.

Didn't catch his name Al...it was on the Boston PBS station last night, maybe I can try to goggle some local NWCO's and find it after I'm done working today...I'll let you know.
