Just curious how the trapper's territorial instincts are. for example. If you have been trapping an area for years and see a newbie horning in on "your" turf, or looking for good areas how would you respond?
Quick question Bruce, I know you have the rendes every year, do you have get togethers aside from the yearly?Back in the 70s when I was a snot nosed and a member (still have that problem when I'm out in the field, even at 49!) we used to gather in olympia every once and awhile for a meeting(cant remember how often these occured, been like, 33 years.)How bout a rende on this side? Or split it up every other year(like we do with auctioneers convention), or better yet, over here in the fall, and over there in the spring, LOL, I know thats probably pushing it (wheres my emoticans??)The only one I went to as a young lad was at millersylvania state park, it was pretty cool, demonstrations on trapping, skinning, but my favorite was the tomahawk throw, I entered and did well (no I didnt win, old flapjack john or tenino jack beat my ass)

Hey I am new to hunting, not wanting your honey holes, but wondering where I could go to get a big buck.I would be interested in how protective everyone is. I think it is great to see that much interest in trapping, but could see the areas getting pretty crowded.
