Jay Garrison, 40yrs old, live in Louisiana, MO. Been married to my lovely wife, Marsha, 21 years. We have two kids, Mackenzie 20, and Colby 16. I worked for Holcim Cement company until they closed my plant last year. I am now employed at BASF in Palmyra, MO. I spend all of the warmer months chasing fish(largemouth and smallmouth bass and hybrid stripers mostly) and of course the colder months trapping. I water trap the river mostly but always take some time to chase the cats and foxes. Still hunt but not as much as when I was younger.

Hi my name is Michael Calvert. I have a wife Samantha we have been married two years. We have a daughter named Gianna. I grew up in the outdoors hunting camping fishing and so on. I had never knew about trapping until last year, me and my brother went to feldmans to get some stuff for work and jackpot. We seen the traps, and I was hooked. Our first day trapping we looked for road kill to use for bait. lol We found a couple of different Things that we could use . We thought it would work for yote bait. lol Our first catch was a non target animal. I have learned a whole lot since then. I have gotten pretty good at grinners and ok at coons. Im still waiting for the yote, it will come sooner or later. I thank everyone on this site for your help. Yall good people, and I appreciate it. Thanks

My name is Tom. Live in Adams County Pennsylvania. I am a state licensed Taxidermist,still without the urge to do more than just friends , relatives, or my own stuff as work. hav not trapped anything since i was 12, other than field rats or pocket gophers. I want to get out and start my trapping carreer this fall, and with all the help i got from all here ,plan on getting me alot of nice fur. I want to run at least 25 traps. I will trap by my home early on,. Then take a 10 day vacation and run a line in Luzerne county PA. later. My targets will be primarily K9's but, will set a few water sets as well, thanks for all the tips and for answering all my questions.

My name is Tim Wilcox, I live in Western NY State with my wife and children. I try to get all of my kids involved when it comes to trapping, even if it is trap preparations or going out on the line. I love seeing the smiles on my kids faces when we pull up to a red fox, coyote or even a coon. This is the reason I love going out into the outdoors. My wife even loves to ride along with me on the days that the kids are in school, so it is a family thing. At the end of the season, we all prepare the furs for sale, even our 4 year old loves to brush out the fur. I could go on and on, but think you get the idea. Glad to be here. Tim

My name is Michael with a wife Bobbi and 3 girls and 1 boy. This is my oldest daughters first season and I am not sure who is more excited. Rajko was my dogs name incase any one wondering. I love to hunt, fish, trap, and survive in the woods where I spend most of my time. Rabbit and bird hunting is my favorite. Coon and fox are my favorite to trap, they bring little money but we have to have fun with it or why do it. I have hunted and trapped since I was a small boy and I am 30 right now. My family and outdoors are my life. I want my children to learn how to survive, hunt, fish, trap and be good caring people then I have accomplished my goals. I am from Cuba, Mo born and raised. I hope to get to know at least some of you and mabye pick up a friend or two.

My name is Kiel, I am a local business owner in Minnesota, I am 26 years old, and own 2 companies. I just got married in August, and we went up to northern Mn and stayed in a cabin on the lake for 2 weeks fishing for our honeymoon. I have a chocolate lab that loves to go fishing. He can be seen in the boat trying to get the fish out of the live well or the 5 gallon bucket. I have been trapping for a couple of years. This year is the best year I have had yet!
When I am not at work, fishing, or trapping I am usually at home working in my garage, or hanging out with the wife.
I look forward to getting to know more of you here on the forum, and if you ever have a question let me know and I will do my best to help.

Ben Wilson, from Nash county North Carolina, ive been in the outdoors since diapers. Im a die-hard deer hunter, with hounds or from a stand, i'll hunt anything and everything that flies, runs, climbs, swims or crawls. i own 7 deer dogs and love every minute of hearin them run, regardless of killin a deer in front of em. i have trapped for about 8-10 years but got out of it for 4-5 durin that time, tryin to get back into it again to make some side/spendin money and enjoy the outdoors even more.
