UALR. Was a double major in construction engineering technology and business management. Life happened and I was no longer able to attend. So I have enough hours for a degree, just not enough hours in a particular major to have a degree. Glad you were able to finish.

Otter will enjoy catching fish in a blue water pond as well as they enjoy catching them in a black water pond or a muddy pond.

Coon density is a big factor. There are many places in Iowa where guys rack up huge numbers by putting out hundreds of traps and check them daily. Deaver and NextGen and O’Hearn are just a few. They don’t use caps and do just fine. I get that.

From our experience, the areas we trap don’t have the population of coon for a good comparison. Having lots of traps in road ditches isn’t in the cards because of the population of dog walkers along country roads. In my part of the state, the road ditches are mowed, too. So we’re often inside the fences. Caps have made a big difference for us.

Not to make excuses, but neither of us has the time nor the energy to put out hundreds of traps. Trapping is and always will be a hobby. To that end, simplifying the process is what we work for. DP caps keep the mice and weather out. From our experience, It appears that the curiosity factor is more important than the smell coming from beneath the cap.

It’s great for current investors


I think this would be a great model for privatized Social Security accounts. I'd be all for that.

Guided isn't exactly checking someone else's traps. They would be your traps, you would just be guided in where to put them. Almost certainly, a guided trip would greatly increase your chances of success.
If you were to come up here to catch a few marten, or a lynx, maybe a couple fox, go up north and catch an Arctic fox, those could all be doable without help. The wolverine is a different story.

I'd add some of the tea candles they're small but will help build a fire in a pinch a large candle with 3 or 4 wicks will heat the cab of your pickup !
The tea candle inside a Copenhagen waxed cardboard can , can double as a storage for them .

The pith or under bark of a cottonwood tree is a good fire starter a small zip lock bag full lasts a long time or dryer lint wrapped in a used up fabric softener sheet once again stored in a small zip lock bag .

A GPS with your sets marked as way points help someone find you or if you can't get out because of a medical problem you then don't have to worry about a wanton waste ticket fro the game warden !

I know about leaving the water dripping… but it still froze on me doing that once when it stayed below freezing for a couple days

… and where do yall put your pressure tanks ? … I would think they would freeze in your climate

.. sorry to bother you with the questions… I just find it interesting to see a house up off the ground where you live as that’s how we build them down here

Thanks for the info. I used a field knife out of a kit I got for Christmas. It seemed to dull up quickly. I have a weibe coming and I feel like that will take 90% of the frustration away. I can't wait for public to open up to trapping in January so I can really get out with the boys and put some miles in. There is so much to show and teach them about animals and how they live and travel.

Corn Grows not NASCAR fast or NHRA fast, Maybe Turtle or Snail fast.

Leotards are much preferred to the version without anything.

Back when I used that set like the middle picture. The bait sticks are about an inch in diameter and no more than 10” in length. Pay particular attention to how that set is made, imitate the picture. I used a 1x2 and some floral wire to tie it on and yes, pre drill two holes to nail on the pole.

Had a black and tan show up on the farm when my daughter was small, best cattle dog I ever owned and was great around my daughter. He watched her like a hawk, and would gently drag her back if he thought she was out of bounds. I really miss that fellow. RIP Casey Jones

Thanks to everyone for the prayers and well wishes.

They are appreciated and important to us.

I'm about to finish off the care package that the TMan Discretionary Fund sent to us.
Thanks Zim and Patrice for that. Very good eats in it.

Another testament to the caliber of people that we have on this board.
