Don’t see it at its extreme. The fact is trappers are a minority but being a trapper is a choice, so the casual use of the word “minority” might be offensive to another minority group. Someone mentioned everyone should “assume some risk”. Sure, I can agree, but the reality is that in this case 99% of the users are assuming a risk created by 1%. That is a tough battle to win, and we are disregarding the other people who don’t like the idea at its core and are against the idea full stop. Until you accept that, you certainly won’t make much progress and probably find yourself losing ground. I worry about the GFY approach because it might make people feel better for a second, it doesn’t help. I think some on this thread get that. Facts are your friend. @shootsstraight post is a good one.This is where I become at a loss for words. At least words that are appropriate for this forum.
The tyranny of the majority sure sucks for minorities. Sure wish I lived in a society that values the rights of minorities.
Wait...I am supposed to....
Once again I am glad I live where I live. A State where trappers are valued and that views trapping as the commercial endeavor that it is. Evidenced by the fact that we pay excise taxes on every pelt that gets shipped out of State.
I've taken all my birds with my bow in the past half dozen years, so that makes me the elitist of the elite douche bags?I'm begining to think the real issue is bird hunters trend toward being elitist douche bags that look down their nose at trappers. Much the same way bowhunters do toward rifle hunters. They can both FOAD and I haven't bought a trapping license in close to ten years.

Some from 1985...Grouse season west of the divide ended Dec. 1.I've wasted enough time with you. You'll have to wait on the apology.
You have helped shift my general option of trappers, good work.

Should we kill every wolf because someone's dog might get killed by one when its running loose in the woods? That risk is being created by not even 1%.Don’t see it at its extreme.

Those are poor comparisons.Should we kill every wolf because someone's dog might get killed by one when its running loose in the woods? That risk is being created by not even 1%.
Should we stop allowing cars on the road because rover might get turned into road pizza?
I reckon asking dog owners to have some responsibility in training and taking care of their dogs, you know, personal responsibility, is a bit too much to ask.
Again, I'm all about some compromising when BOTH sides want to engage in actually taking an active role in the process other than banning the other sides recreation.
I'd be way more inclined to ban unleashed dogs (talking pets here) on public land than trapping. Nothing better than listening to someone's shit-hauser howling while trying to fish, hike, or otherwise enjoy the outdoors. Or running over and rifling through your stuff, etc. Hate to break it to dog owners, I don't love your dogs as much as you do...
I just have to put up with it...
https://www.google.com/amp/s/missou...64584b72-15c1-11e4-bfdb-001a4bcf887a.amp.htmlOne more thing on this then I have got to call it quits.
When referencing minorities pertaining to the “ tyranny of the majority” I would think it would be fairly evident that the reference is not about race, religion, gender etc. and quite frankly if that offends some minority group, so be it.
Also to my knowledge there are no bobcat farms. Mink, fox, and raccoon dog, are the only furbearers I can think of that are farmed on any sort of large scale. I may be missing one.
A very good wild bobcat pelt can bring low four figures. Mid to high three figure prices aren’t at all unusual. There is a market there.
Those are poor comparisons.
The hardest thing is recognizing you are not in much of a position to negotiate, so demanding the other side give up more is a losing proposition. It’s like being a stranded on a deserted island and a boat comes by and asks if you need help. Your response is “what are you serving for dinner?”
It was more a tongue-in-cheek comment, but Google is your friend. There are quite a few bobcat farms. I don't like that they exist, but they do. Sorry, I don't know the definition of large or small when it comes to those.I said large scale. One farm is not large scale.
Your outright dismissal of other peoples rights based on how many of them there are is disturbing.
Your analogy is bogus as well.
Out of curiosity, does it protect just your right to trap, or does it specifically protect the means by which you can do so as well?To say there is no right to trap, in my State there is.

Disturbing? In what way. Demanding the other side give up something in a negotiation just because you feel they should, but they don't have to, isn't a negotiation. Those "rights" can get changed by the passage of new legislation, which was the point of this thread.
