Saudi Arabia already has access to nukes that they paid pakistan to build for them.They are stored in Pakistan and owned by the Arabs.

Colony or funnel traps not practical for beaver.By the time you make them big enough to catch 3 or 4 beaver at a time in the run you cant lift them up when full.
Better off to gang set 330s if you want multiple catches per check.

I might take you up on that Nessy i can make snares too, not Newt level but good LOL

Though Id want to be able to ship them to my Dad and buddy Arnold

Break down and get the enclosed no spray traps for catching and transporting. As long as using no spray can look in the end of trap to verify catch, What works for me in dispatching is taking a dryer exhaust hose, one end over the exhaust pipe of your gas power automobile other end under either a tarp or contactor bag that is covering and has trap sealed under it. 15 minutes and expired skunk that allows extraction of essence if so inclined to save.
Have found gas powered vehicles work faster than diesel.

I know a trapper that would take whole frozen carp out of his freezer and would chop up with a ax right on the trapline he would routinely catch 2000 coon and a couple hundred mink every year.

Next question.

Do you think critters are attracted to the anise (licorice) smell for food or curiosity or something else? Is it desirable or is it just a loud carrying scent that gets their attention?

I've used lures with that odor or the oil for coons and weasels.

I am going through some Hawley Norton and Newhouse #3's and #4"s LS. The user Hawley's I have went through each one and are solid for cats and coyotes. Hawleys are 20.00/ea for 3's,, 25.00/ea for 4's - no chains just a swivel body on the spring ( you will put your own rig on them anyway!). The Newhouse will vary from users to collector's, mostly complete, and start at 30.00 ea. for users and go up depending on their pan, chain, and spring (some stamped - some cast pans, and some big and some small). If interested in either type I will be at Macon MO for the FTA convention and can deliver some for guys (or gals). No bears on any of these just a few 44's and 3's & 4's Oneida Com. and ATC's. I won't try to over or under price these as I have a pretty good idea of what they are worth. PM me a phone # if you want a sample picture...................... the mike (in NE)

I'll be there on Saturday. I wish I could be there for the whole show. I'm looking forward to seeing folks.

I use 155 Dukes on my Fisher line. I put the coni pan on the trigger of all mine . I also do the trigger adjustment that TS Trapping shows on a very good video on Duke BG with a nail to bend the trigger so it fires sooner . Check to see how far your trigger travels before it will fire . With these modifications I get good results on Fisher Coon Skunks and Gray Fox.

You bet! But like TurtleDale said, beaver castor is also a great ingredient. Adding a small amount to your base ingredient can really help. If you do, start out with just a bit and go from there.
