TRAPPING 2014/2015 season thread

[Tuffbroadhead]

Just bought an old 14' fiberglass Sears and Roebuck canoe for a $100 last night. Leak tested it tonight and found a bunch of cracks and leaks but it will be easy to fix

Ouch, sounds a little worse than you were told.. still a great bug for a 100.00


Cant wait to see that thing loaded with beaver and coons this winter!!

No Sir , I sure did not.

I stumbled upon the guy I sent the email to on T-man and he said that he and his wife are responsible for the website and that he forwarded the email to the association president (Bill) so that he could address my questions directly.

Have not heard from him as of yet.

I tend to expect quite a bit more out of a association that represents our rights. To me it seems a bit more like a club than a State Trapping Association.


Get those traps posted up in the classifieds brother..

IF you buy the Bridger 330's you will have to buy a setter also, the way the spring loops are designed prevents you from setting them by hand. Victor Conibear 330's have big enough spring loops that you can set them by hand but they are higher in price.

Cheapest place for FB1's will be one of two places F&T outdoors, or Nate at Buckstop. I bought the last 2 dozen from Nate ...

Just a FYI... Doesn’t say anything about trapping but it does talk about hunting, or possession of a firearm in these restricted places....

I would love to trap on the Nueces river in live oak county but looks like it fall under a restricted place..

The bridgers are the ones I really want but at this point I'll take any 330 just to get started
