What would u have a nail in for? They used a big hammer to remove it? I don't rember surgery other than a shot in lower back an not be able to move my legs an then it was lights out
Crushed my leg in a logging accident 28 years ago. Nail was a metal pin from knee to ankle inside of the bone. They attach a piece to the end that they can pound on and drive it out. I don't remember anything from the operation either.
A swivel is nice when a beaver swings out into the current, or a fisher isn’t instantly dispatched by your not quite strong enough 220 and wants to roll and twist…
I agree with Les. Even catching otter they can really work over a trap.
Steve once you get rid of those children expenses and mortgage payments and other payments you will have more play money with the same income level. Personally, work is a form of play for me. I don't hate my jobs and they keep me entertained. Same reason a lot of seniors take work when they really don't have to.
Caution, you might catch harmless snakes. I had some mice eating the bait in a 160 cubby, so decided to catch the mice first with the little snap traps. Only problem was, it killed a garter snake that was hunting the mice, so I quit that. Then I saw what I thought was a rat eating the coon bait in a live trap. I have a 54"+ Eastern Fox snake family living nearby too, don't want to kill them with a Victor Rat Snap trap. Leaving any rats for the big snake to kill. Here's that commonly known Pine Snake 6/5/25.
