Depends.
I have a nice 10' truck camper. I chose a truck camper because I wanted to be able to tow my fishing boat. That said, I wouldn't use it if I would be changing my dirty outdoor clothes & gear in it, etc. My wife has suggested I use it hunting and so on. I said thanks, but no way. I'll use my wall tent for all hunting & fishing activities where it involves two or more guys. Also, as has been said, truck campers have very little, if any storage.
When my wife and I go csmping & fishing with the boat, I always dismount the camper as I will not launch or take out my boat with it on the truck (my choice).

The take away is I suggest a bumper tow camper. Although I'm not crazy about a tandem arrangement, I do see pull behind campers with a boat in tow behind the camper, which is contingent on the states you'll be traveling in.
Decent campers are cheaper than decent truck campers too.

The story continues. We went elk hunting in the same canyon last week and my brother found two more NH 4 1/2s that match the first set. Looks like the COLO stamping is going to show on both of these. They have the twin drags just the same as the first two and were about 100 yards from the first set. They were half buried in dirt just like the first ones and are pretty crusty and rusty. It still makes me wonder why these were left behind. On the same ranch but not in the same general area, he also found a miners pick that someone dated to the 1880's. I found a rusty old Prince Albert can. LOL

SOLD

What about 28, 29 and 30?

Not exactly what the OP meant, but Ok....LOL!

But you still shot it?

On my most recent modifications, the trap came with seven links of chain. I cut the middle one out and insert the swivel....so mid chain

Looks like fun, great job! I haven't hunted for awhile but my son got me back in to it then stopped again. I need to get started hunting them again.

If you can close off all of the access, They can't get in. If you can close of most of the access, you can put up a sparrow zapper. It really is a thing.

Sorry to hear about your relative.

I would be more concerned about the safety factor. Got kids around?

Stag Arms have some of the better guns already built IMO.

We can and we do. It isn't "game over" yet, or even close. We obviously need to be concerned about what's happening with the avalanche of proposed gun bans in both the U.S. and Canada, but not to the point of being paralyzed with these election cycle stunts (I'm not talking about you per se, Hutch).

We should see this as an opportunity to strengthen our numbers and alliances with other like-minded people. I don't have all the answers either, far from it, but I do know that lack of awareness is not our weak point...we excel at letting each other know how bad things are for us, and that's a good thing to a degree.

The Sportsmen’s Alliance is the only organization I know of that brings together hunting, trapping, fishing and gun owner interests under one umbrella. Trappers are usually the odd man out, the group that gets thrown under the bus when the heat is turned up. The Sportsmen's Alliance doesn't do that. In fact, they make it a point to include trappers in their advocacy. So there’s no need to reinvent the wheel here, but getting involved in some way is a step forward. There's plenty to do. At least take a look.
