trapping seminar

7000+ furs in 15 years, using 14 traps???

Maybe I need to get to that seminar. =)

I saw that article a few days ago and if true I was pretty impressed.

Sounds interesting. I will have to put that on my calendar and try to attend.

That's amazing!!! If I calculated correctly, that's 466/yr...which is over 3 critters per day....if he traps every day of the trapping season for 15 years. Which he doesn't because he only traps part time. I sure could learn something from him.

I will go if legit.

Well if someone finds any info out about it let us know might be worth the drive

here is the info off craigslist

seminar will take place at 10996 south 500 east Rushville Indiana 46173 at 9 o'clock September 6

catching that kind of number of critters part time with only a few traps? When you do the math like haymaker did, it seems the truth might be getting tugged a bit...

Has anyone tried to contact the number by text or calling to see if it is legit or not? i am always leery of things like that. If you text or call that number then they have your cell number to do what they want with it. Maybe I am just not very trust worthy these days.

I would think a call to Hoosier Trapper or another significant trapping/fur store in central Indiana could likely shed some light on this particular guy and the event.

From what I understand the event info is...
Sat. Sept 6th
10996 S 500 E Rushville, IN 46173
Starts 9:00 a.m. any info feel free to call or text 812 593-5127 ask for Randy

I emailed him and he got back with me pretty quick and then I had a follow up email and again he got back quick so may be legit.

Last name Nick ???? He lives 4 miles from me. About the same from the farm. Dad and I have asked everybody we know……nobody knows him. Dad even "works" at the local gunshop/hangout. I would think that somebody THAT good, someone would know of him. Nobody….

I'll refrain from my own personal comments until I have more info..

I will say this: He said 7000+ furs. Keep in mind he didn't say 7000+ canines. On the 3 minute dirt hole……its easy enough. You can pre-make, and bait your coyote sets weeks ahead of actually putting a trap in. If you have a bed dug, hole made and baited, and dirt already sifted back in, it doesn't take but a couple of minutes to lay a trap in and cover it up. Easy to scout that way and see which ones they are hitting and not be blind setting. That's not a mystery.

I'll keep snooping around. I highly doubt I attend his "siminar" !

Well I was wondering if you knew anything since he is your neck of the woods and no didn't get a last name I am still not convinced of him.

So is anyone planning on going to this?

I am going to pass on this one....
