Made a hard decision to finally clean out decades of treasures from my fur shed. Have traps from the 60’s when I trapped muskrats before school, 70’s and eighties when I thought you weren’t a coon trapper unless you were in water, 90’s and early 2000’s when I learned land coon were bigger and dryer and beaver were fun. Also you catch a ton of possums when land trapping coons. Next came dog proofs along with some coyotes traps. The result is a trailer full of a variety of different traps heading to the NTA. Still have to try to price everything. If anyone has a good idea of were I should start message me. One of the memories was triggered when I looked in an old box and came across a #4,3 and 1 1/2 longs ring and number 2
coil spring Pioneer. They were part of a grubstake (remember those) I won. Ludy Sheda donated them. Most unusable trap I ever saw. They are junk traps that were never used. wonder if they
have any collector value. Anyway hope to see some of you at the NTA. Look in the tailgater area for a big guy with a red dodge pickup, white enclosed trailer, and a bunch of traps and other trapping treasures.

There were Constables and Night Watch from the very beginning. I had many great grandfathers holding those positions in the early 1600s. Boston had a Night Watch by 1636.

There was a jail in very early Jamestown, I've read how the prisoners were let out during the Powhatton Massacre. There was a famous fire, started in a prison in Jamestown, years later, close to 1700, that did massive damage to the structures and records.

I had JUST gotten home and laid down to relax... then boom...all I hear is pictures being taken. I look up, and there's a camera all in my face. He should've just kept it movin'....

That would make a great commercial for Paul.

There are a couple of locations in the back sloughs and marshes where the "bottom" is hard to define. It might look all of 10" deep, but you can stick a paddle down into it and still not hit something solid. Yet there are distinct 'rat runs through this judging by the clean trails on top of this soft bottom. If you were to set a colony trap in this "run", it would sink and disappear into the goo below.

So I've been tinkering with a floating colony trap design. A typical 24" collapsible colony trap is attached to the underside of a board backed with styrofoam. The ends of the board have holes for sticks to go into and protrude upwards (not into the water) to cause the 'rat or mink to submerge and swim below it, still in the run, and into the colony trap. The colony trap is suspended just above the top of the sediment below, yet fully submerged. So far so good. Everything falls within the regs, so far.

Any other tinkerers out there with this application in mind?

Sometimes does.

My Dad is at a place where there is no concept of time. He kept saying he wanted to go home, even though he has not left the house all day. Not knowing what to do I decided I would put him in the car and see what happens. I told him he would have to tell me where we were going. He gave me directions which took us around the block. He told me which house to pull into (His house). I got him out, took him in the house and he was good to go.

As meaningless as it sounds, I’m happy he knew the way home.

Let me know condition and price thanks

I could imagine a market if it was cheap enough. Do you have any idea what it would cost to make a box 6X6X12?

I’ve been wanting to try them out on a dozen 110 for blind sets but everything I can find on them are people useing them in boxes. I’d love to hear some pro and cons from someone who has some experience using them on the line.
