No you dont want to do that..heat + springs = weak..most likely will need replacing them if you want strong traps...but if they were Dukes..you could replace the springs cheap I bet.

SPRING BEAR is the Best! Can't believe that bear is falling so low down the pole!!! I've been making ham's out of my bear, ground sausage with 1/3 moose fat....Tender, tender! Have not gotten a fall blackie yet except for one off the river, but, it was not bad, but no berry bear yet...so, can't compare that!

Was out today, and thought i'd try the foxpro and see what'll come in. Had a fox at 150 missed a running shot. So i turned on the caller, the fox returned. While i was aiming at the fox i saw something run into my Scope field of view. Moved over onto it and it was this lynx at 50 yrds running towards me. By the time i went back to the fox he was gone. Was pretty excited to try my set up! What a way to break it in. On the way home a few minutes ago i saw a small lynx on the road. May have some good numbers of them for this season.

Way to go! What you use on him?

Looks like a good one!

Very Nice,,,It looks you have a good calling set-up going there!

Is that a .17 hmr?

Thanks guys, yea its a marlin .17 hmr I used 20 grain xtp hornady ammo. Impressed with a minute and a half of callin. haha prolly jus luck lol. Got him in the neck running towards me. May have to keep on callin till we get snow. Kinda early for them yet was pretty brown on the underfur. Got him turned on the board already. But the fox today looked pretty good.

Make sure to vote today. Took my daughter with me this morning.

Yukontrapper I have the same gun in the same caliber. Love it, when it is calm.

Nice Fish222, i love mine also. Accurate as all get out. Only down fall is i need to put tall scope rings lol realized i couldn't get the bolt out yesterday lol.

Alright I have to ask.. Obama is in, but Romney won popular vote..

So how is it that "the people" choose, when it's based off of electoral votes???

My family of six cannot make sense of it either. A flawed elections system from days gone by. I know this violates the no politics rule but heck...

I to would like to know how we got to that?

what is that?

Electoral votes and not counting every vote, probley should google it or pm's so we don't get into trouble

Yup, not meaning to break the rules. I just can't wrap my head around it.

I have and it ain't right. AK has 3 votes. The People's Republic of California has how many?? I vote because its my right, my pride is bigger than that.
