Heads up to hunters

[RJMOEN]

Well, Shawn...maybe YOU should hunt your own private land and not allow anyone to trap it...then you wont have to see it. Most trappers will mark their traps with a colored stake of some sort...and a white 5 gallon bucket is about as obvious as it gets. Some don't and they are generally aholes...just like some people that think their chosen sport has any more right to be there than someone elses. Have a good one! Stay safe. ps...train your dog....and your children...see that thing...stay away from it...it will hurt you.

Train my dog to stay away from a 5 gallon bucket huh????? HAHA!!! Public land is used to hunt NOT TRAP!! How about I tie some string from my trigger to a tree and put a bucket somewhere close by to "warn" you and your dog to stay away from it. Dont blame me when the gun goes off cause i put that bucket there. One question why else do you "sportsman" trap if it isnt for the pelts and the money??? Do you eat coons and yotes?? I eat the deer and pheasants I shoot!!!

Public land is just that, PUBLIC. People are allowed to hunt, trap, walk, montain bike, photograph, etc. It is bought with public funds for use by the public. Failure to recognize that is irresponsible, whether you like the activities going on or not.

Why dont you show me where it says that public land is used for hunting not trapping??? Maybe you should actually try trapping or tag along with a trapper some time and experiance it then maybe you will understand the work and effort put into trapping and then you might understand the rewards that go with it
