If that's the way you saw so be it.

Then you'll have to apply for big money preference points and wait 15-20 years to get the license

Cool pic! LOL

Thanks. I'm ok with the turbo. One of the hardest parts is dealing with the moisture issue in my cab from not running the heater enough.

For me as well

Yes I don't want the coyotes suffering anymore than they have too. If both jaws lock down I thought the trap might bed easier.

I joined that site a little more than 16 years ago. Back when I was into hunting with fast dogs and terriers. Their dog hunting communities are very active. Anymore, I just kinda pass through.

I am looking to try my hand at hooping a few beaver this year. Any tips or tricks you can provide will be greatly appreciated. I searched the archives but I didn't really find much info. Let's try to get it all in one thread. My first questions are:

When do you cut the willows? In Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall?
What size willows work best? Big end size, Small end size? I figure I might need as many as 3 or 4 pieces lashed together to get around my large beaver.
How long do I let the willow hoop dry before attaching the pelt?
Is the fake sinew the thing to use to lash several sections of willows together and to lace the pelt to the hoop or is there something better?
Will the fake sinew tighten as it dries to help secure the willow hoop joints?
What is the best way to get the holes in the pelt? Are the nails holes enough or do I need to make bigger holes or slots?
Any tips or tricks to easily keep the pelt centered in the hoop while lacing?

Any other things I need to consider?
