I would need to build at least 1000 to be worth while. Not ready to do right now. Sure would like to.

So I went on line and much to my surprise, there they were in the Tomahawk catalog. So I figure they're made by Tomahawk but then I read that they're made by Trap and Trail. So my lesson for today is confusion!

I have had two jobs where a competitor's raccoon had run off with a Conibear around his throat. One was dead and one wasn't. And I couldn't even get angry. Some years ago, one of our techs lost one the same way. I'm sure in all cases there was one mitigating factor.....stupidity! After losing a squirrel in a coni I figured out a better way to secure. A swivel with one j hook to the ring then run a screw through the other hole of the swivel.
