Trapper checking traps

[GWP]

Now have video of the woman and her friend in the previous  picture  spraying something on trap on 3 different occasions
Will see if judicial system does anything with video evidence, if not country justice might prevail

Well, that sucks. Eliminates them 'not messing with them' at least. Now you know. Paintball grenade is what I saw in one video a guy used for someone trespassing after being talked to about it.

Did they follow you to your new spot?

[Jingles]

Yes followed to new trap locations. WDFW has copies of videos, now just have to sit back and see what happens

[Dan-o]

Sorry to hear this.
That has to be frustrating beyond words.

[Rainier10]

Wow. Hood luck

[MADMAX]

I’d post it on valley bulletin
And make wanted for vandalism  flyers and post them at the red apple and hanks

[Jingles]

Gonna see what happens as I've turned the videos over to WDFW. If nothing then country Justice kicks in and may God have mercy on their soles cuze the entire North Central Washington will know, Thinking Wenatchee World and Omak Chronicle, yea it'll cost me, along with asking for help identifying on the Spokane TV news by sending them the video.

I will be following Jingles.  Saw sides chosen early, but you stuck to your thoughts.  IN the end you were right, some dop *censored* messing with your gear.  Lets hope the authorities do what they should, if they don't, and they don't stop,... well, my money is on the "Doc".  Keep your powder dry and give them hell.

As much as I’d love to see pics of the “country justice” being administered, I’d suggest you keep it quiet. No need to bring trouble on yourself. The 3rd “S” in the 3 step program is for “shut up”. Good luck.

Separate from the criminal aspect I suggest you contact an attorney and get the civil side going to recover your costs and damages.

I for one hope like hell you can find a way to make her pay.  People like these need to learn a lesson and it involves suffering the consequences, something all these politically/socially correct people here dont understand.  I get it and support it.

I've just read the last page. Regardless of whats on the other pages, looks to me Jingles like you had better start learning some woodsman skills and learn how to ooperate a trapline without leaving a trail to your sets. It boggles my mind when I see nimrods setting gear along access trails/roads used by other user groups. Use the topography to your addvantage to get away from the public. Draw your target animal to your location away from others and their dogs. This is on  you, Jingles, to think about your system this summer, and come up with a new plan to minimalize the chance of the public seeing your gear. Or an animal in your trap. Before you give all of us a bad image, bad press.
I trap through your country, have for years. You don't even know I'm around.
Better luck to you next year.

I don’t really know much about him And obviously you don’t either, but if I remember right in reading a lot of jingles posts I believe he’s got pretty bad knees. Just sounds like a guy still trying to do what he loves but he’s not quite able to get as far back as he used to. I wouldn’t go as far as to say he brought it on himself, because you should be able to assume people aren’t complete pieces of crap and will leave things alone that aren’t theirs, But unfortunately that is not the case anymore. Hopefully he can find a trap line a little less traveled and still not too far back that he is able to get out and do what he loves to do.

Not sure how to respond to this.....other than saying, I 100% don't agree with you.  Using your logic...hunters shouldn't access the mountains via roads that other user groups use.  Hunters shouldn't use trails that other non hunters use to access private land.  Maybe Hunters shouldn't hunt for fear of offending the bunny huggers.  When you harvest an animal, you shouldn't hang it at your camp or post pics at the local shop that supports hunters.....you know a bunny hugger should stop in there and be offended as well. 

JUST MAYBE THE AZZHAT THAT VIOLATES THE LAW SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND THE TRAPPER SHOULDN'T BARE ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR LEGALLY SETTING A TRAP LINE IN A LEGAL AREA.

You must be really good.
I mean not even leaving snowshoe tracks is a serious skill.
Do you just swing through the trees?

Jingles, you better start working on your upper body strength and grip strength.
