This was a good thread, and I believe there was a muskrat one to that was pretty good, and another great one that had quite a bit of opinions and knowledge going around was the great double longspring thread

Always simple and fast. Smear sets on bank walls are one of my favorite as it seems to always produce. Another one I really like to do is just a log in shallow water with fish oil on the old and a 1.5 on each side. Aside from leg holds, I use alot of dps. I prefer the z-traps because of the stabilizer. That being said, in late season, I can drill a 3/8 hole in deadwood, posts, trees, etc and put trap anywhere I need it. I have cable attached to my dps, that way I can anchor to trees, logs, posts, etc.

Old P-Skinny was really an interesting guy and quite a good trapper. Blind setting with body grips has killed it's share of animals, Shame he died so young. Long live the 'Possum !

LT you need to send that pile of coons down here. i make about as much off of the meat as i do the hides We use to have a pretty good meat market here, but the newer generation doesn't seem to care for it that much.
