New to Wolverine Supplies - Trapping Supplies

Trapping fur bearing animals can be extremely rewarding, in many ways. I never got rich running my own trap line in the Assiniboine valley but as a hard up landed immigrant trying to feed my family and pay a mortgagee when interest rates were 16% by farming Hogs it sure helped give me a little extra “cash” for Christmas and other special times. I will never forget the first Coyote I trapped, he was super or the Beaver in the river. Only those who have trapped Beaver in under ice sets will understand the achievement and really know what cold fingers feel like!

I don’t have time here to try and convert the antis, but consider this. If you were a mouse would you prefer to die in a mouse trap while sampling a piece of my best smoked cheese or be tormented to death by your favorite pet cat? Nature is very cruel, trapping carried out correctly is humane and is part of our Canadian heritage that we should be proud of.
 
Exactly Jon!!! Trappers, many of whom were first nations people, broke the trails in many cases before surveyors set foot in this land! It is a noble part of our heritage. Our trappers know more about our forests and ecosystems on their lines than anybody else... you can't replace the hours, days, months, and many years of knowledge learned because of Trappers and their time in the bush. (No matter how many years you went to university and flew around in a helicopter). Every province and territory would do a better job of managing our natural world if they would cooperate more with trappers. Thanks for doing this Wolverine!

What's with all the liberals and antis on the forum lately?

If you think guns are scary or hunting / trapping is bad. Then join a forum for being a winey wuss. And leave us, real boys alone.
 
I really don't understand the whole anti-trapping/anti-hunting vegetarians. Just think of the poor cabbage. It's spends it's life growing in poo only to be torn apart when it's harvested.
 
I have to say this is great news that Wolverine has expanded their guns, gear, and outdoor supplies to encompass trapping supplies. I grew up in the north and remember being as young as 9 or 10 and heading out after school in the winter with my single shot .22 Winchester Cooey, a box of .22 shorts and bunch of rabbit snares. Some of my best memories are from those times with a buddy. We would leave after school (in the dark) and get home a couple hours later with a few rabbits that we skinned and my mother would bake in the oven for us. At about 12, I was met another young fellow who's father had a trapline. For 3 years in a row, I was invited and spent my Christmas holidays on their trapline setting 330 conibear body traps under the ice for beavers; setting snares for lynx and coyote and the occasional wolf. We also used snares and 120/220 conibear body traps for marten and fisher.
I have stopped in at Wolverine several times over the years while coming back from a visit to Winnipeg and have made online purchases many times as well. I have been thinking about investing in some trapping gear over the last year or so and now I know I will.
Thanks Wolverine for creating a one stop outdoor shopping experience!!!
 
I was thinking about getting into trapping. Now I must with such a great company to support with my money :) so excited. I'm looking forward to what you will be bringing in. Time to hit up your website to see if you are selling fleshing knives as well.
 
Agreed. I would much rather dispatch an animal suddenly and humanely with a 40-55 grain pill to the brain. Maybe the new stuff is markedly better than the old stuff in that regard, but there's nothing ethical about an animal winding up in a leghold trap.

It's hilarious watching the fanboys getting all butthurt!! The guy just expressed an opinion. Why do you feel the need to attack him?
