  Did I miss something here. I don't believe I read anything here to provoke a response like that. Problems?

NWBrew, I agree and edited out the foul language.

Hannibal, keep it civil.

would that be clew or clue?

would that be clew or clue?

I think Hannibal might have had a shot of whiskey ,after a long wet cold day of trapping.I know he deals with very many attitudes and regulations daily, I would assume, as much as he traps....he is a great guy with a ton of knowledge and not afraid to share it with folks..But also a man who has watched trapping slowly lose ground to greenies and hunters,just as the houndsmen did..Outdoorsmen splitting,bad juju...Between Dave,George and Bruce,These guys have been a great asset to me,In the few times I get to speak or meet with them......On the lighter side,he will wake this morning and realize the long sleep did nothing for his looks. myth busted

Let me know what the Oregon issue has to do with commercial trapping and I'll kiss every trap you put down... I'm all for trapping. Not sure if you read the article on what happened in Oregon. I'm guessing you didn't because it did NOT involve an Oregon trapper. Or, a commercial trapper for that matter.

Go blasting away that people are tree huggers, anti trapping whatever. Quite the opposite. I'll refrain from responding in a similar manner as you did because I have some respect for folks I don't know and don't know what or where they do it.

The folks' dog in Oregon was basically in their own backyard and was killed by a trap set by Federal Wildlife agents. Not commercial trappers. So, where you are coming off blasting comments about people putting commercial trappers down, I have no idea.

I came here asking what the best way to go about looking for illegal traps placed in an area which is ILLEGAL to trap using ILLEGAL traps....

Are you not a LEGAL trapper who uses LEGAL traps? I think we here at Hunt-WA pride ourselves on doing what is right, following the laws and supporting each other when issues come about. I don't know anyone who posts here who supports ILLEGAL hunting or trapping of any kind except, your posts seem to put you in that favor and are calling guys like me, who follow the rules, hunt legally, support wildlife, am active in the community to help restore and protect hunting rights, help keep areas like Cherry Valley open for hunting, improve habitat and make it a better experience for anyone who takes kids and friends out to hunt.

You're so far off base on your two posts it pisses me off.

on a better subject, now my rant is over.... anyone interested in showing me how to trap on my lease? Seen a few beavers and a couple of otters around the place... would love to learn a bit about it. Also have a couple of kitties running around that I'd love to see skinned. I'm in Fall City. Will trade private trapping sites for some learning experience.

Man...nobody is bagging on any legal trapping operations. Nobody is attacking commercial trappers. This thread, like Happy said, was started regarding a very public, very popular dog training/hunting/birding/etc area that lots of people here in town use for lots of outdoor activities with dogs, kids, families, etc. My 4 tear old kid and I were there just a short time ago. It's really eff'ing great feeling that I can not let her out of my sight there now for fear of her getting caught in some dipchit's illegal trap. She's probably half the size of the dog that got caught. Luckily she won't be playing in any beaver ponds there anytime soon.   This trap was set a long way from any private ground, so there was no honest mistakes with this setbeing where it was.
 Some people need to relax...nobody is out to get anybody but the illegal trapper with threads like this.

dog should have been on a leash,,,,,,,,,,

sure hope the dogs ok and I would guess anti hunting anti animal owner type person...or a neighbor who hates the hunting use 

As much as we would like to blame the antis for everything in this case I would think not. Sounds like a beaver set to me. Maybe a neighbor with beaver problems or maybe someone just tempted to break the law.

So you sound like you know the area. Is this area open to the public? Could it be public land?
Really sounds like someone made a bad decision.

Nearest neigbors are 1/4 mile away +. Lots of public land/cattle pastures/water between the bird tower and any houses/farms.

What Rasbo said.....Vinke is a solid member of the trapping fraternity and community, not only here in washington but nationwide(ask anyone on trapperman.com), , maybe he let loose a few colorfull metaphors...Hell Ive done it myself a few times on discussion boards (And been spanked)

The emotions run high because mis information in the media leads to the loss of rights for all of us, whether it be trapping, guns or hunting or fishing rights.

And yes...The antis (Trapping, hunting, gold mining, fishing, I could go on and on) people google and mine this stuff, as sportsman we gotta watch each others back

Daves a good guy, he would give you the shirt off his back.....


It might smell like skunk, but dont you dare refuse it....

Keep being you Dave!

I would have hoped Dave would have responded by now... The media didn't even play this story nor, did it have anything to do with his post. The media was unbiased on their reporting... just that a dog was killed by a trap which was set by FEDERAL AGENTS, NOT COMMERCIAL TRAPPERS OR SPORTSMAN.....

The trap I posted about was an illegal trap. It was also not set in a place which is LEGAL to trap.

Why is posting about ATTEMPTED POACHING a bad thing? Everyone on Hunt-Wa gets all excited about reports of people poaching or trying to poach. What seems to be more of an issue to me is that, when someone has a trap set, attempting to POACH, it seems like it is sort of, "OK"..... Is it?
