Aix sponsa trapper Joined: Feb 2014 Posts: 8,296 Louisiana	Thanks ADC. Question: on dispatch snare, your S hook is labeled as a BAD, and the end of the cable is where you have it. Does it close better that way with the cable in line with the cam rather than having the end of the cable passing through the side cam with a nut hammered? I hope that makes sense.

I haven't looked at this before now, my bad, what a cool teaching tool. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
